Stick to the same manufactures especially if its tamiya, even some of their own paints will react together if put on too heavily.

And yes by laying down transparent orange first then putting a silver backing you will get a metallic orange.

If they're Tamiya paints make sure they're PS ones ( Poly Spray ) and the TS which are just general aerosol.

Also if you back it with metallic gold instead of silver you'll get a much richer more orange colour. It sometimes goes more of a burnt orange with a brown tinge to it over silver.
