What Colour?

That's a thought, thanks Mark. I could strengthen it with a matt varnish perhaps?

Hi Steve, also a possibility is grey primer, if you want a matt finish

What Colour?

I thought I had better be the first to reply to my own post before you all realised what little research I had done beforehand! I have answered my own question.
Searching the Halfords website I find that they do in fact make an aerosol "Sea Grey" which on further investigation has already been used on a Perkasa. They also supply a touch up bottle for detail on the deckhouse.
As an old schoolfriend continually likes to remind me - "If all else fails, read the instructions!"
How I rose to the dizzy heights of Commander I will never know.

What Colour?

I have recently finished an Aeronaut Pilot Boat using a Halfords aerosol spray - VW Brilliant Orange, the colour recommended by a fellow modeller. It gave excellent results for a very modest price.
I am now building a 49" Perkasa and am looking to use the same type of paint.
Can anyone help with the corresponding shade of sea grey used on this type of boat please?
