If you are reffering to Marine Blue, most car paint suppliers will mix it for you. Avoid Paddocks there version of Marine Blue is to dark, a bit like the early 90s and 110s had.

My paints from paddocks and when painted over the original paint on the interior bulkihead and other places where here was little to no fading there was absolutely no difference as far as I could tell

One tin did a whole coat for all the bodywork plus a bit extra



I found it went on quite well with a brush / roller. Looks darker than it actually is in the above photo due to it being indoors with not fantastic lighting. When its out on sunday i'll get a photo outdoors

You could give this chap a bell:
Land Rover Paint Man | Paint for Land Rovers | Specialist in White Spirit Based, Synthetic & Zylene Based Enamels
supposedly specialises in Landy paint

Hmmm I took three tins back it was nothing like Marine Blue, It was about 4 years ago so may be they listened to the complaints. They gave a refund and told me to keep the paint because it had been opened. I did do the inside of the rear tub with it and it went on well, painted over with the correct colour afterwards.

I bought the paint only a few months ago so maybe they have improved over the last few years Its a good strong colour, only given the wagon a single coat so far, will put on an extra one or 2 though I think

The colour will be good enough for me I work in a lime quarry so a paint job is not stoop important. We have to put acid on the cars to get them clean and it eats paint.

Cheers
