Well I managed to spray the underframe today and have made a decision to paint the unit in the simple Rail Blue with Yellow ends. My original intention was to paint the Blue/Grey livery but I've been looking at DMU photos and I actually quite like the all-over blue scheme, plus it's MUCH easier to paint!

Just been in the garage to spray the yellow [going to use the tried and tested Halfords paints] and it's freezing! I'm hoping to fade both the blue and yellow and have a generally grubby/weathered model.
