These are the Paint Codes from the RNLI Engineering Section for the colours used:

BS381c
Lifeboats Blue: Oxford Blue 105
Lifeboats Yellow: Bold Yellow 363
Lifeboats Red: Rail Red 539
Lifeboats Orange: Orange 557

If you want to use car paints then a local motor factors can usually mix the colours in spray cans for you.
