I am restoring a 1986 Clark Wamsley and desire some gold anodized or gold colored cable casing.
Please, no yellow, no orange. Similar to that shown in the attached; not all cables in the attached image are gold.

Hey Beave, I've seen that gold housing on eBay... Keep an eye there.
IF you don't find it, or don't want to keep looking, you can strip the outer plastic off of the housing & get the housing gold plated.... Just a thought. Here's some done in gold (really dusty though...):

Thanks; I was aware of Nokon and the Giant special. They want over $60 for 2 - 3 meters of the stuff!

Reply to Nokon & spraying -
Nokon does have cable casing - I knew this prior to posting.
There stuff starts at over $60 for just a couple of meters.
Spraying a cable: the paint comes off - thanks for the idea, though.

Just a note on painting. As a last resort, you could try an adhesion promoter like those from SEM or Klean Strip on plastic. Try a shop that specializes on autobody paint products and they will understand your needs.
Good luck in your search though. I just tried Loose Screws but the closest they have is yellow. If I come across gold, I'll be sure to let you know.

I found Casiraghi cable housing that matched the original on a 1980s vintage Bianchi "Limited" at yellowjersey.org. Even more remarkable than the color selection is that it is lined.
