The best colours for simulating the heated look on chromed pipes are Clear Yellow, Clear Orange and Clear Blue & Smoke either gunze or tamiya colors will work fine.
Mix the colours or layer them to get the desired tint.
Jr, Perhaps this can help you out.

By the way make sure the tamiya light gun metal has been cured enough.
Good luck.

just what i was looking for, thanks guys.
Overlooked something in your post, you want a brownish colour you can get that by mixing clear blue and clear orange.
Try it first on a few test pieces takes a bit to get the effect right.
awsome, thanks for the info.
