Paint Questions

I am trying to find a color that comes close to Braniff International's orange from back in the sixties when they painted their aircraft a solid color, any ideas? I thought that I had found my color in testors "racing orange" but it is a flat neon orange which is not even close to what I am looking for. All I can find localy is testors but if I can order something else online at a decent price I'll do it. My second question is are rattle cans ok or is a cheap airbrush better? I probably won't build enough to justify the investment in a real good airbrush but I would like my models to be fit for public viewing while on display in my office. Thanks in advance for any help.
