Hi Del,
If it is to represent a Uk boat then the colour would have been the normal 'battleship grey' and I think that the US boats were similar.  I served on landing craft during my National Service in the Royal Marines but I cannot remember what the colour was below the waterline.  I have just bought an excellent book but it only covers LCA's (Land Craft Assault) and your's looks like the MCM (Landing Craft Mechanised) and 'possibly' American.
Hope this helps.

Derek.
