As payment, can you post a photo of the cab you are converting?  Just curious.

The DK blue would work for a Vs. Mario but it just looks a little to blue, Not light enough.

What the best way for getting a smooth finish? Roller or Brush?
fjl:
Best smooth finish would be to use a spray gun with an air compressor. I was thinking of going that way myself but buying an air compressor(and has to be a good one at that) is out of the question at the moment.

Definitely a roller leaves a smoother finish than a paint brush. Many people here swear on a foam roller for a nice smooth finish. Haven't tried one myself but I'll probably test it out.
JimmyU:
I'm not sure about the paint, but I want that marquee. ;D
Jeff AMN:
You can get a near perfect finish with a roller. It's much smoother than you'll get with a brush. Just as a tip, any type of painting you do will look smoother if you lay the cab on its side. Gravity helps you out and smooths your strokes together.
