Know of anyone in Orlando or Central Florida that can do this? I'm still looking to get some strakes done to match the gold accents. I wouldn't mind sending them away to get done but I figure it's easier if they can see the exact shade of gold in person instead
of trying to match it by pictures alone. The dealer I bought from no longer does this. I was thinking maybe a Cadillac or Lexus dealer but not too sure. Any help?

It looks 24k but weather it is or not I'm not 100% sure. The addition sticker that was on it at the dealer said it was a $500 add-on so it may be.There's actually a Lexus dealer not to far from me so I'll probably just go that route. Thanks again for your help beachdog.

Just wanted to give props to Jyariten, a fellow 8 enthusiast from Japan for his version of the BB w/gold.
