The repaint is available at Avsim.com, just search for 'Centennial of Naval Aviation'.

neutrino,
Yes, the real one is painted in glossy sea blue. Perhaps I should have tweaked specular textures a bit, but I was too lazy...  ;D
However, you can remove all *_Specular.dds files from the texture.Centennial folder and you will have original Blue Angels shininess.
