On the Philco 45 butterfly, are those stripes on the front yellow, gold, or off/antique white. Any available paints today that you can buy somewhere to paint the stripes in with a skinny paint brush?

It's not gold or yellow; more like an almond with a hint of yellow in it. You'll want something compatible with a lacquer finish.
