This part is best left to you. You can get all the information on the type of paint, applications etc. from your local paint stockist.
The choice of colour is also up to you. There are many different variations of blue used for both the Police boxes and the TARDIS props.
There does not seem to be a standard blue color used for the many TARDIS props, so personal preference is probably the way to go.

Thank you so much for posting this!! My husband has been promising me for years now that he would build a TARDIS for me as my 50th birthday gift (I’ll be 56 in June), but used the excuse that he wants it to be just perfect and can’t do that without either seeing one in person ( not too easy in Colorado) or having plans//blueprints in hand. You’ve made my year!!! 😍
Thanks so much again! You’re fantastic!
