I just picked up these bikes off ebay, and plan to buy some more and paint them like it for the bike army I am starting. As well as a storm talon or two. So I am hoping that maybe one of you can tell me what color these are painted with. I asked the seller but I don't believe he is the painter.

They look like theyve been spray undercoated judging by the chips in the base covering and general blue greyness of the whole scheme.
Chances are it's an Army Painter spray either Wolf Grey, Ultramarine Blue or Navy Blue or Crystal Blue are the choices. Flip the models over and check for any overspray to see the true colour.
Given the slightly pastel style they have probably just been painted with citadel foundation paints. Find the closest matches.
They have then been washed or dipped in sepia or black and re highlighted with those colours with a final light grey edge highlight.
Sorry to sound so sketchy but colour replication on my monitor/your camera isn't great.
Hope this helps?

I grabbed it straight from the sellers page. Under the models there is a blue. And it looks to be that sort of ultramarine color spray from Army Painter.

if it's the colours that you're after it looks to be:

Blue
Space marines blue highlighted with spacewolf grey (though looking at the bikers base it certainly looks like the blue was just sprayed on)

Reds
Scab red highlighted with gore or possibly blood red

eyes are just scorpion green from what i can see and the metallics are just shining gold and boltgun silver
