Hello all. I will be painting up the body parts for the AMT Ford Police Interceptor kit which I believe is a 1970 Galaxie 500. Can anybody me in the right direction on the correct shades (or as close to correct) of Yellow, and Blue for the project. I will be using rattle cans for the project. I have attached a picture that I found on the internet. As always appreciate any help.

Was looking thru my assortment of Tamiya rattle-cans, and as close as I can come to those colors (and it seems real close),  look at the TS64 dark mica blue, and then the TS34 camel yellow for the other color.  Would work for me......😊

The Tamiya Mica Red is metallic. Is the Mica Blue also metallic?

Any paint with "mica" in its name is sparkly or metallic.

Sure. 

I should also mention that if some domestic (USA) paint has "poly" in its name, that also indicates a metallic paint.  Mica name is usually used in names of Japanese paint colors.
