FK5 Deep Burnt Orange paint code/modern equivalent needed

[MartinD-UK]

Edit to add,as in post below it is Deep burnt orange FK5, not burnt orange FK3, but still need mix code
I am helping with the restoration on a '70 Cuda. Its burnt orange and has been bare metal resprayed before many years ago to a slightly different shade to the few bits of original paint left on the car, around front & rear screens & under some trim that wasn't removed. A friend restored his '70 GTX also in burnt orange and has given me a paint code that he took a lot of research to come up with, it's made by Spies Hecker 'Daewoo Orange Copper 75U', but it is too light compared to the the original paint on the Cuda. Are there different shades of burnt orange ? the GTX should be the same shouldn't it ?
Thanks

There were a couple Burnt Oranges available on 70 Plymouths.

I believe there was FK3 Burnt Orange and FK5 Deep Burnt Orange.

Do you have the fender tag or broadcast sheet? Either of those will have the paint code that the car came with.

It's possible your buddy has FK3 and your car is the darker FK5...

Thanks Grec, the fender tag had already been decoded and now looking back at it I see that it is indeed FK5 DEEP burnt orange  ( i didn't know there was FK3 and deep FK5), so you have that one solved straight off  . Now just need a modern  mix code to get it made.

FK5 is FK5 no matter what.  That being said, this color is very hard to spray.  I know a person that had to have his FK5 AAR resprayed 3 times to get the shade to match his wife's TA Challenger.  And this was by a restoration shop that deals with a TON of classic Mopars. 

The problem is the way the metallic and such lays out can affect the color greatly.  Things like humidity, number of coats and air pressure can alter the appearance of this color, seemingly more than a lot of other classic Mopar colors.  This is not one of those colors that you want to paint in stages on the various pieces of the car.  You want to do the whole thing at once and, if possible, even do the jambs at the same time.
