Re: Orange?
Pick your favorite. None of them are likely to be very close. If you want something close you'll have to use an automotive paint- which of course means you will have to pay for an automotive paint.
When you divide it out, $26 isn't bad for 12oz. If you like the color, you can paint a lot of models with it.

Re: Orange?
I tried to replicate similar lambo colors from the spray cans. It's not gonna be perfect, but for the Arancio Borealis, try tamiya orange followed by clear pearl misting. Experiment
and regular clear over that. Avoid the testors one shot lacquer orange. The flakes in it are out of scale. And I don't have relatively good access to gunze paints, so I'm not sure there. But try different oranges.

Re: Orange?
I would add that if you only have access to spray cans, then I would spray your first coat of pearl clear directly onto your last wet coat of the orange.
This allows the pearl flakes to seep into the orange somewhat and gives you a better pearl orange effect. You can then follow up with additional coats of pearl clear as neccessary. It won't be perfect though and the pearl effect will not be as fine as on the real paint.

Re: Orange?
The real paint has to be see in person to get the full effect.
A nice bright orange pearl isn't too hard to achieve though. I've used MM international orange cut with about half white as a base color and then applied light coats of MM turn signal amber for pearl. Works with an airbursh... See the diablo roadster link in my sig for an idea of the color.
