Color is "Strata Blue ,Number 15045 of Federal Standard 595". Should be
able to get it at any Auto Body supply that custom mixes paint. Markings
were to be semi-gloss yellow, but does not state a color spec.
FWIW-- Tops of Administrative vehicles (i.e. sedans,
busses,pickups,etc.) at base CO's discretion, shall be painted White, Full
Gloss, Number 17875 of Spec. TT-E-489.
