Nice color! What brand is it? Is it a stock color or did you mix your own?
It’s a mixture of different manufacturers, but the entire thing is custom built.
The engine is a PM research #3. The boiler is by Jensen steam engines. Both are still around.
The color is a dark blue enamel paint.

Bonjour,
Great singing steam plant indeed ! And useful in case of power outage ;D
Sorry if I already asked this question, how do you lubricate the cylinder ? I don't see any oil lubricator and even if wet steam is lubricant, it is worth injecting a little oil into the cylinder, isn't it ?
I put a few drops on the slide valve every 5 minutes during its run which puts oil into cylinder.

Finalized touches with my favorite color on the plant… deep naval blue.
To me, looks best.
Here’s some photos and a movie clip:
