Default NMW orange

At some point in the past the NMW bars I have for my gasser have been at least 3 or 4 different colors. The final paint being some sort of house paint yellow. I believe mine were originally sold new in either black or red oxide primer.
However id like to paint them the correct Orange that NMW used on a lot of their products. Does anyone know of a spray paint that is either exact or “close enough” for being traction bars under a car?

Thanks.

Picture of the orange bars was stolen off an old for sale add on the forum from 12 years ago.

I've had a lot of NMW stuff over the years. especially those first gen ladder bars and tow tabs. I've never found a spray paint that was "close enough" for my liking. Most are either too orange or too red. That color is like pumpkin orange. Ive ordered many cans thinking it would be close but not so. I even tried to have a brown base under and a light mist of orange and that was the closest I got. Seeing how rarely seen they are, nobody would call you out on the wrong shade

Sounds like Chevrolet engine Orange will work then.
