Recommended Detroit Diesel Green?

[Dieselhead]

What would be a decently-accurate paint for Detroit blue-green? I'm planning on a Detroit or two soon and I want them in OEM colors. I'd prefer something not too expensive since I won't be building too many of these motors so I don't think it would be quite worth it. Rattlecan or airbrush is fine. Thanks.

Dupli-Color makes Detroit Diesel Alpine Green.

I'm certain with good primer anything's possible, but I'd be afraid that an auto paint would be too thick for good adhesion to model parts without drowning out the details. Maybe it's time to learn decanting.

I had the same concern about using auto paint, the duplicolor alpine green lays down very smooth and doesn't bury the smaller details. A couple light coats will be plenty. I used tamiya fine white or gray primer under the 3 I've painted .

I used Model Master USSR Fulcrum Gray/Green on this Detroit, pretty close to my eyes at least for older Detroits like a few Series 60s I had driven.

I picked up a can of Krylon Colormaster Satin Jade at Walmart that's pretty close to...

For Detroit Diesel Alpine Green from the 1970s I use Testors Model Masters Grun RLM 62, and for Series60 Blue I uses Tamiya Medium Blue XF-18.  I find that the Dupli-Color Detroit Diesel Alpine Green is too dark for the older engines; but that's just me.
