Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

Thought I would archive my Getaway touch-up for those who may come after me. For my repairs, I needed to match black, bright blue, neon orange, and yellow for the areas I wanted to repair.
Here is what I discovered given my playfield condition (which I would consider to be good with minimal, if any, fading) and the Createx airbrush paints | https://createxcolors.com/airbrush-colors/fluorescent-opaque-colors/5201.html (I used a regular brush to apply and cured with a heat gun between coats)
- Black: Used the black straight out of the bottle
- Bright/Light Blue (inner line around Free Ride & other inserts): Mixed 4 drops Opaque Blue with 2 drops Opaque White and it was a dead on match for me
- Fluorescent Orange (outer line around Free Ride & other inserts): Mixed 15 drops Fluorescent Orange with 1 drop Opaque White and it too was a dead on match
- Yellow (stoplights): No matter what I tried, I could not hit this color. I experimented like crazy but could never achieve the ever slight goldish yellow color. I finally gave up and made a decal then covered it with Mylar.
After curing all paint, I double top-coated with Createx gloss clear, rewaxed with Carnauba, and voila - a much improved look for my pin.
