A good question!
And not easy. Found it hard to get any with the correct paint code, like mine yours is, in paint terms, a strange colour, neither gold or silver sort of half way.
I had some mixed, very carefully in my local car parts shop, always had good results from them, it wasn't even close nearer silver than gold.
Bought some white gold aerosol online, it was closest but had a little too much metalflake in it.
Best option is to get it photographed in a specialist paint shop, downside, min order is usually 6 cans.
Sorry for length reply, but no point in both of us going through the same problem!

Found some pics. I disliked the fridge vents etc being ghastly grey against nice white gold, so that's where the above reply came from.
Here's the finished result, as you'll see, its OK but not a perfect match. Still better than ghastly grey plastic though!
The heater outlet was deliberately not done, the best part of the pic is the TV aerial ext socket.

That's correct Mel.

That's also the one I used to try and get aerosol touch up cans, just had a look online and yes it seems available but quite expensive.
 Any clearcoat for cars will do, the UPol I buy is about £8 per 500ml.
