Shading/biasing for orange paint?

So, I repainted the panel line of the filler door with the Lava Orange paint last night and wanted to let it set and cure for a couple of days.
Looking at it today, aside from doing some minor polishing and buffing where some "micro chips" happened while I was removing the old paint, I think I'm done.

It looks like a gas filler door on the fender now. The shading idea would have been tricky (and I still might try it later) but for now I'm happy to leave it alone.

I still want to create a US license plate and frame and order a 1/18th scale seat belt/harness set from a shop I found on-line (in Italy) and this project will be finished.
