I would go with what Tony says... When I built my Centuri Orion I realized that I was going to do a lot of masking before painting the pod's NCs... I am presently working on a different decal theme that would not require painting the NCs a different colors... or you can go with the original paint theme in which I think they were white.
As for the yellow bands I would go with decals... If you are only going for stripes or simple shapes then I would spray paint over a decal sheet, let it dry for a few hours, then with a sharp hobby knife cut the painted decal sheet into whatever shape you want. I have done this with great success on the cockpit of my Wolvering, the red and white wing tips and BT tip of my Mach 10, and the purple stripes of my EAC Viper. Light coats of paint work best. It makes for thicker "decals" but the problem of matching colors is solved.
