I will second Archive X Reefer White.
The MRP paint Light Artic Grey is the same as Tamiya AS-20, same color but lacquer.

Great!!!
Anyone use MicroLux's Reefer White? It's an acrylic, which is good for me (small apartment). I have a bottle and it seems a little "cooler" than others, but that could be my primer showing through.

Having experience with how good Bandai plastic color gets very close to the original hue, go for a color that closely resembles the plastic. If you achieve that your good. Thats if you want to paint them....I dont....
:cool
:coolMRP paints are not only fantastic; I would argue they are the best model paints that exist.
Doesn't really look the same as AS-20, judging by the pictures.
I have 3 AS-20 decanted cans an 2 MRP light artic grey bottles. I can't tell the difference between both.

How close is the on-the-sprue styrene to the actual model color?- Bandai usually does a pretty good job matching
I'll just drop this here:

I just bought some Archive X 'ILM Stormy Sea" from Guy Cowan......I bought it for some TIE projects.....but to me it also looks perfect for the B-Wing
I recently made a Studio Scale B-Wing as a commission & had to mix my own grey/blue.....the ILM Stormy Sea looks pretty close
