Color matching Carbon Ceramic Burnt Orange / Copper for emblem paint

Hey MBWorld, first time posting! I'm looking for some help color matching.. I want to color the inside portion of the "S" part of the AMG Badge

This red part here:

I want it to be as close as possible to the CBB color:

I've seen other threads say that VHT's Burnt Orange is a good match, however that's just a spray, I'm looking for some kind of modeling or acrylic paint..

The closest I have found was Ammo of Mig Jimenez - Orange Metallic:

The color they use in the demo is too simulated to know what it really looks like:

Has anyone else painted this part of their emblem and can recommend a good paint?

EDIT:

I know that VHT has a Burnt Orange spray on paint, would I be able to spray a bunch in a concentrated area, say on a paper plate, then use a brush to paint the emblem interior?
