Tremor Orange Accent Color - Any Paint Match?

[EVH5150]

Has anyone come up with a match for the Tremor Orange Accent color? We're getting really close to dropping the hammer on one-possibly this weekend-and I'll likely want to paint the brake calipers in the Orange. I'd be color-matching with G2 caliper paint

This Burnt Copper is pretty close for a high-heat paint.

Just got finished painting my modified Focus ST engine cover--Electric Spice is perfect. I'll post pics at some point, when I get time to post a Build Log.

Not much of the original ST engine cover left. Color is spot-on.

How did you prep the plastic?

Wiped-down really well with paint prep wipes, then wiped with a clean, lint-free cloth. Sprayed a coat of adhesion promoter, then sprayed color.

Here's a mock up of the look. Color is off but closer than red.

Here's a mock up of the look. Color is off but closer than red.

If you are mixing acrylics or oils, you’ll want to avoid a 50/50 red-yellow mix, which often turns out too dull.
Base: Start with a large amount of Warm Yellow (like Cadmium Yellow Medium).
The "Pop": Add small amounts of Vibrant Red (like Pyrrole Red or Cadmium Red) until you reach a bright orange.
The Secret: Add a tiny drop of Magenta or Fluorescent Pink. This prevents the color from looking "muddy" and gives it that high-energy, factory-fresh glow.
Adjustment: If it looks too much like a "traffic cone," add a tiny bit of White to make it more opaque and "solid," but be careful—too much will turn it into a pastel peach.

Or did you try RustOleum "marigold"?

I bought a can that’s the correct color. Painting tomorrow.
