I've tried Modelflex for the yellow, and both manufacturers (Modelflex and Polly Scale)for the blue. I brush paint, and Polly Scale works better for me, personally.
Thanks for the SP Daylight tip, Dgoodlander! Now I have someplace to start with that. It would be one thing to get close if I am painting an undecorated engine, but to detail a factory painted Atlas unit, it's crucial to get those colors as close to them as possible.
