Paul: Any color that pleases you will do. Remember that when the ccrew was told to paint the station, they didn't go to the Quartermaster in Cleveland and draw X gallons of spec. number BCDE paint; they used what they had. If they didn't have it, they went out and bought it. Then, remember that what they bought varied, not only in color, but also in quality; they weathered differently over time. If you are modelling a building, you have to decide how old you want the paint to appear. Finally, remember that we view models in significantly weaker light than the prototype; a brighter shade will show up better. Conclusion: any paint that looks good will do.
