flat orange monster?

Not sure if this is the right place for this question but here goes anyway.

Once I get my bike back from service I'm planning on having it painted, was thinking I'd do the front fender and seat cowl in flat black and the tank in a nice flat pumpkin orange with a black "DUCATI" on the side.  Could have sworn I saw a similar paint scheme somewhere and was wondering if anyone could photoshop it out for me (my photoshop skills are sub-par at best) or point me in the direction of a similar look.

The reason I'm doing the front fender and seat cowl in flat black is because I actually have two tanks and figured if I ever get board of the orange I could swap to my black tank.

Thanks in advance for any help.  :)

I dig Bun bun's new paint, but his is more of a Creamsicle color than pumpkin.  Yours would be much deeper and look like the pics of his before the clear.

You may run the risks, my friend, but I do the cutting. We cut down my percentage---uh, cigar?---liable to interfere with my aim.

Glad you like what I did.
The paint I used looks different in sunlight than it does in shadow. The clear mitigates that somewhat. Maybe a darker paint would be less changeable.
Here's a couple of pics that illustrate the difference.

Thanks for the replies!!

Beautiful paint job!  Love the orange.  I want to do something similar only darker and flat instead of shiny, I definitely dig that color in the shade.  I'm still looking for that "perfect" color so it might be a while before I have mine painted.  But I've got two tanks so definitely going to take advantage of my options.

Raux, the flat red is very nice as well.  I see so many shiny red monsters it didn't even occur to me to look into a flat red.
