    Need help with paint- Metallic orange?

    I need to paint something that looks similar to this resin kit from the film the Road Warrior. The Plow on the front is orange but still looks metallic. Does anyone know what kind of color or mix of colors I would need to achieve this effect (aside from the weathering which helps)? I am making my own Mad Max post apoc toy and I have the "plow" part done, which was taken from a bright orange toy shovel for kids, but I am trying to figure on how to have it look like "metal" rather than obviously bright orange plastic.

    Dupli-Color makes a metallic orange spray paint for car touch-ups. They sell it in the automotive dept. of any store.

      Perfect!!! The thought of checking an auto store/section did not occur to me (mostly because of the odd color I need). I kept checking various hobby type shops but never saw any sort of metallic orange. Will give Target/Walmart a try, if not will hit Auto Zone. Thanks again
