Suspect that is an easy question to answer for the airliner enthusiasts. Try the Finescale forum. I bet you will get an answer there fairly quickly.

American Airlines old colours were primarily polished natural metal so you'll need various shades of Alclad. The light grey is Boeing specification 708 grey. A very close match is Model Master Canadian Voodoo Grey. The wing and tailplane centre sections are Corogard; a proprietary anti-corrosion coating which is made from a clear carrier medium and aluminium powder mixed up on the spot. It can appear to be anything from dull aluminium to dark grey depending upon its age, the ambient lighting and many other factors. Testors Steel in the small square bottle is a good generic match.
