I'd say that looks pretty good, though perhaps a bit too shiney and about a half a shade too dark. Maybe spraying it with a coat of Dulcote paint would bring it closer to Tom Sr.'s Robins Egg tone. You likely have several engines showing that original color that you're trying to match, so do a side by side and see if you can live with it.
