Wrong on both counts!! It's a mean green Detroit Series 60.

That I really can't answer, but here is a pic of a real Detroit Series 60 you could maybe match something to.

Of course, if you have a truck dealership nearby, and from what I remember from my driving days I think there is a Freightliner dealer in Fredericksburg, you can get a can of the Detroit Diesel Alpine Green spray paint. You may even get it from a farm supply store like Tractor Supply, I know the one here carries some paints like that here.

I dont know if its just the picture but the Detroits are a bit more green in color.

It might just be the pic, Ryan, even though I found it on Detroit's website.

That looks close to Chrysler turquise,

I mixed that, green and blue, mines a bit light.

I think the Detroit Diesel Series 60 comes in blue.

The Duplicolor code is: DE 1683 Detroit Diesel Blue

The Duplic Color paint available at most auto parts stores called Alpine Green is what I use. As to the 60 series, it comes in Alpine Green, or that grayish bluish color like in the posted pic here.

I'm not sure if Duplicolor offers the blue DD color, but if they dont you might be able to find the right color at a truck repair place. I was able to get some touch up paint in Cummins Beige and IH Blue at a local International repair shop.
