For the vermillion I tried Accu-paint Vermillion but found it to be too red and not much orange. It didn't match the Atlas engines I had, or the Kato's. <br /> <br />After several tries I settled on Pollyscale SP Daylight Orange, P/N 270-414185 (Walthers number). It seems to be an exact match for the Atlas orange. For the blue I use the same as jschuknecht, but for the yellow I use the Floquil CSX gloss yellow. I picked this because its gloss so I don't have to apply gloss before applying decals. The down side to the Floquil is that it is an enamel and I know some people aren't crazy about using enamel paints.
