So it is virtually impossible to track down the old Citadel Ultramarines blue spray anymore and I used my last can.

The Army painter blue spray is oft advertised as "perfect for ultramarines", etc. Anyone with experience with it confirm how closely it matches Ultramarines Blue (straight or after a wash) or am I going to need to invest in an airbrush and use Ultramarines blue from the pots?

Its very very close, but off just a little bit, if you washed it and did highlights it should be passable.

If you prime the models black before hand it gives the perfect match.

i actually have a barely used can that i'd be willing to trade assuming nothing happened to it in the basement. pm me if you're interested and i'll dig it out to make sure it didn't explode.

.. Not quite sure ..

You have a can of Citadel Ultramarines blue?

Your best bet might be to use the airbrush.
That way you'll get the exact colour you're looking for and means you're not relying on OOP cans.

Montana Gold Spray Paint. They have colors that are almost identical.

Check them out.
