Re: Painting question - Orange

I still put up with the mess and smells of enamels because I find that
they cover better than acrylics - I could happily get away with a single
coat of orange using 'Umbrols.

You could try using a yellow or buff primer - that would give the colour
quite a nice 'glow' as well
