I just wanted to pass this information along to anyone who is restoring a Sinistar. I recently picked up a super nice condition Sinistar. It needed minor touch up on the blue and red parts of the stencil colors. Thankfully, no touch ups were needed with the gray parts! I was able to find exact color matches to my cabinet from Sherwin Williams. The blue I used is Adriatic Sea SW 6790. The red is Safety Red which is sold as a pre-mix. Both colors matched perfectly! Mileage may vary due to what they used at the factory in 1983 and ageing of the paint. In this case, I was super happy with the results. Hopefully this helps someone.
 
I forgot to mention that I used a satin oil based paint for the blue. The safety red is a pre-mix oil based gloss. The sheen of both when dry are pretty much the same though.
