George,
Canisters on 3A's were also at one time peacock blue. The green color is the
result of years of heat
and oil staining. Sorry, I can't find any spray can that is the right color.
Krylon 1904 Teal Blue is
as close as I have come off the shelf. It is a little on the gray side and not
enough green. I have a
can of Centauri mixed to the shade that we use when doing restos.
