It all depends on what kind of look you're going for. Do you want a more traditional look , or something custom? An old original color in the copper/orange variation will be somewhat flat. If you want something that glows a little, you'll want something with some pearl in it. I can't remember any colors throughout the 80's or 90's that pop, but there are a few from the current decade,from ford and dodge trucks, to chevy cars that have a color you would call "burnt orange" that have a more modern look. If you want something more pearlescent, try some custom aftermarket colors Like Dupont Hot Hues, House of Kolors Candies, or PPG Vibrance colors. Paint stores also have generic books that have every range of saturated/non-saturated metallic colors that give you a starting point to a specific OEM color. DuPont for example, has a book called "Spectramaster" you can look through to find exactly what you want in each variation from on extreme to another in each primary shade. I hope this helps. It sounds like a cool project!

I'm a big fan of yellow or red. But if you want to go traditional, the Indian Summer is cool. Bet it looks better in person than in that pic.
