The decals available on the link are exactly what I was looking for. Now i can just primer the whole thing and get it a uniform color. Thanks guys.

Some modelers advocate painting up the vehicle in gloss colors, applying the decals so that they adhere to the smooth surface, maybe with a tiny bit of Micro-set, and then clear-coating with a semi-matte top layer to seal the decals and give the bird a "scale"-looking surface. Different parts of the Saturn V actually have slightly different shades of black and white, and this effect is visible in a number of photos on apolloarchive.com, in the image archive. The black on the S-IC, for example, is a different shade than the black on the S-II aft interstage. You get to see those things when you dig deep. Happy Holidays.
