Are you sure that paint on the emblem is blue, not black?

The original was a slightly lighter shade of blue than in your picture, sorry, I can't find my example I was going to take a picture of. To show that yours is not original, see how it has chipped and peeled? that shows that the surface was not prepped properly, The original would have worn off, but would not be peeled and chipped.
Hobby stores have Testors paint in small bottles, which is the brand that is used by many. Pick up a couple or three and choose one you like. Prep the surface better than the previous owner did!

Is it the same shade of Blue as the Model A uses on the bumper clamps? If so here is what the Model A guys use.
"Sign Painters' 1 shot dark blue 158L is supposed to be a match. It should be available at your local auto paint store."

152L light blue
TPC Global brand of lettering paint is suppose to be same color but the quality has been questioned compared to one shot.

Check your local auto paint store(s)
If you find any in your area I’ll split it with you.

Winner, winner, chicken dinner.

This is about as close to authentic as you are likely to find "on the shelf".
