I'm looking for a metallic orange, preferably in a spray can, but I have a cheap airbrush, so bottle may be ok. I tried automotive matches, but the guy there said they don't really have any metallic oranges.
Perhaps in a nail polish?
If anybody has anything painted metallic orange, please post what you used! Thanks.

House of Kolor has a nice metallic orange. I used it on my AMT supra. Looks like a pretty close match to the real F&F supra. Mines is in a bottle, so I airbrushed mines on. I 'll try and get the name of the orange, and post a picture of the sprayed body later tonight.

This is Testors Boyds Orange Pearl over gold base so is a bit hard to show true colour as it brings it closer to red but it is a nice orange.

Thanks! Looks good! Is there any flake in that pearl? It doesn't look like it in the pictures, but pictures don't always tell the truth!

OK, I checked the name of the House of Kolor orange. It is called Tangelo pearl. Here is a pic of my supra.

HOK kas several Kandys and Pearls, I am getting ready to spray Kandy Tangerine over a gold base,
For cheap you can Duplicolor Orange Mist, its a little darker but looks good

How about Testors turn signal amber over an orange base coat............. just a suggestion

The HOK paints look pretty good. But I don't think I can get them up here in Canada. Black Gold says they don't ship them out of the Continuous US.
I'm currently experimenting with Tamiya Clear orange over a number of base coats. It looks kinda neat, but a little dark over Fluorescent Red, a little off over gold, haven't yet tried it over Titanium Gold and X-11.
Turn signal amber is a very cool second choice. I even have some of it kicking around.
Thanks for all your help guys! I'm sure I'll figure something out!

Also, I went looking for the testors Boyds Orange, but couldn't find any Boyds sprays... which makes sense because I'm pretty sure Boyds went out of business several years ago.
