When I primer paint the spacemen I use Tamiya Aluminum if they are going to have a metallic paint or semi-opaque paint applied.
Those space suits from Destination Moon were re-used in several movies and TV shows and very similar suits appeared in other movies. Usually they were color coded so you knew which person was which character, since is was hard to see their faces.
Coral Blue is the first paint I will use.
Tamiya Gloss Aluminum.
All other figures get white primer from RustOleum.
