I swore up and down the M262 was all brown.. It is not. I got a real one today. It is black and greyish blue. Resto in the works!

Not the greatest color match but it will do. Slate grey would not work as the tool kit is blue and the old paint had a blue tint. But then the old paint was so faded and damaged I am not 100% sure what it is supposed to look like, as the only other images I can find are B&W.

Only thing left to do is buff the belt cover and fill in the letters with white paint!

It is indeed a D272. The roller is really neat, with 1 row on each side of thick bristles and one on each side of thin bristles. The M262 has a standard single row brush.
Not long after I posted this a friend showed me his M262, which while beaten up was certainly more grey with barely any blue tint. So I had some grey on hand..
