Mixing paint for a orange Honda CB750/CR750 question

Transparent orange over a metallic base, like on the full size version. 

Never thought of that.  Just use a regular metallic gunmetal and after it dries add Tamiya clear orange?

Use a high shine silver. Gunmetal is dark and dull and won't look good.

Thank you both again.  I have a variety of silvers i'm going to try out on some spoons this weekend.

Build up the orange with several very thin coats. Each additional one will darken the result so go slowly until you get the color you want. It should be a stunning result. 

For a deeper, richer orange, you might like to try gold, brass or copper for the metallic base metallic base.

I have always just used tamiya clear paints for taillights and blinkers.  Never thought of as actual paint. Thanks again!
