I'm thinking about having my tank repainted to the original color - brownish-sorta-gold ? - and was wondering if anyone knows specifically what the color is called, or info about it. ?

Can't help with the specific colors, but perhaps Dondirtbiker (vintage paint supplier used by several of us, great price, service, and the paint kits are great) can. See;
