Title: colour codes for Shannon paint scheme
Post by: gregk9 on March 17, 2018, 01:25:30 pm

HI Guys,

Would someone be kind enough to confirm the best suitable colour for the "Hull grey", "Hull Blue" for Shannon Class please....er am presuming VW Orange is still the going rate for cabin.
Many thanks in advance.

Yes, VW Brilliant Orange is the go to for the cabin.  Ford Bailiol Blue is the general consensus for the hull blue though I use Ford Royal Blue.  Not sure about the hull grey - there are two in play a very light grey on early boats and (close to) black on later boats.
