Ducati engine paint

I'm still kicking around paint/polish ideas for my CB550 project and I kinda like the paint on some of the newer Ducati engines. It's sort of a titanium/gold-ish color. It looks slightly different in each of these pics, but you get the idea.
There's a Ducati dealer near me, so I'll go check it out when I get a chance, but does anyone know what color it is? Is there anything close that's available from VHT, etc.?

Im not so sure they use paint, as much as maybe a ceramic based coating or similar process. An engine paint will yield similar colors but will deteriorate much faster. Vht and other engine paint companies probably have a color chart on their websites so you could match it up online perhaps.

I would guess that if you can't find an engine paint to match, you could talk to somebody that does powder coating. They could probably mix & match to get the correct color.

There is a Honda gold color you can get from any dealer. I think it's close to the duc color.
