Anyone here have success finding a paint in the sort of duck egg blue used by the British army for engines? Thanks

Try calling Cullen Diesel.
I just bought Alpine green (Detroit diesel colour) which looks exactly like a Series 1 body colour.

You can ask them for a duck egg blue as some of the generator sets are that colour.
