For the light grey of the IJN zeroes, you can use P820 (off white) as a base. i'm sure they have USN blues and greys too, but have never used them.
These paints are specifically designed for use with an airbrush, so you'll need to apply several coats to get a nice finish as they are a bit thinner than "regular" ones.
