What finish is this?

Saw this on stancenation and was wondering what process was done to get this type of gold color. I don't think it's anodized. I was thinking maybe gold plated

Probably copper plated.

OP, DEFINITELY NOT copper.

More than likely Titanium Nitride or 14-18k gold

It just looks like gold plating.. Nothing special but expensive. Definitely looks awesome on that car, he has a whole bunch of gold plated stuff all over it (engine bay, wheel hardware etc).

You can achieve that gold color using non-precious metals. It is most likely electroplated. Like DE stated, titanium nitride is a plausible answer.
