Joanna, If it is the same color as a TR4 - then it is available from Ford (yes
it is the same as a paint color used on Ford tractors - kind of a light
greenish/blue).  Can't remember the name of the color but a Ford dealer should
have access to it if you bring the canister in.  Hope that helps.  If not -
sorry.  I'm sure some TR3 afficianado will let us know if it the same as the
TR4 canister color.  Cheers.
