If you want rattle can I have found that Krylon makes a color called "Old Cat Yellow" that is a pretty darn close match. I used it on my cab corner trim and I am quite happy with the results.

The horn button may be a tough one to try to make "new".

To my eye, it's a bit more glossy/golden looking than the GM ochre (Old Cat Yellow).
