Mine is Rusto 2x Real Orange. This was taken a couple of days ago as I was out flight testing some Flight Sketch Mini altimeters. The sun was kind of low in the sky and for some reason that makes the booster look a little different shade than the sustainer, but it’s not. It did , at this junction, have about a dozen flights’ worth of residue from staging on it, though.

As Chris noted, the orange decal that goes on the fin tip is a little translucent, so it looks a bit faded. Your scheme of making orange the base color and masking Sounds good. I think I actually did use orange as the base on this one since there is only one white fin on each stage. But I didn’t think to mask off the fin tip stripes. Maybe on the next one....
