I'm making a new Flash figure and want to match the colors of the '83 figure as close as I can. Any one have any suggestions of specific brands and colors I could use?

For the green I use Krylon Italian Olvie Spray. Don't have suggestions on the orange/red though.

I found International Orange from Testors for the orange/red parts. It is a pretty good match.
Thank you for the suggestion. Is Krylon Spray ok to use? It won't mess with poseablility of the figure will it?

I almost exclusively use spray paint for base coats. The newer plastics can be tricky, as the paint doesn't like to completely dry on it. Works great for old RAH though. Just like any other paints, joint rubbing is still an issue.
