BS paint numbers
« on: October 05, 2015, 06:39:02 pm »
Having now found a local supplier that does current light weather works grey in aerosol form, now looking for a suitable BS number for the deck green circa 60's HMS Tiger period.  Any ideas folk?

Decks up until 1968 were BS4800 14C39. The BS4800 series don't have names.


You mentioned the current Light Weatherwork Grey BS381C 676, that did not come into use in the RN until about 1966 > 1968.
