Green antifoul colour
« on: November 22, 2009, 05:21:59 pm »
Hello guys.

I am building my Evenos and I need an advice. I would like to start paint her but I have no clue about green colour below waterline. I understand that it was based on copper, so another question (if that is true) was colour green when it was painted on or it became green over time in water. BTW I am building French naval tugboat pre WW2. What about another navies?
Any help would be deeply appreciable.

Hi, it was green when painted on, the Guernsey life boat had green anti fouling (52-02) at one time in her life, hope it helps

Generally speaking, on a ship as opposed to a boat, if you can see green (or any other colour) the chances are that you are looking at the "boot topping". This covers the area between the light and loaded draughts. Again, generally speaking.....all the ships I ever sailed in had a redish-brownish anti-fouling paint below the boot-topping stripe. BY.

Thanks for answers. Green it is.  :} Now I must figure out right shade. So far I found on the web only receipt for  SZENT ISTVAN of Austro hungarian navy
from turn of century

http://smmlonline.com/articles/austrohungarariancamo/ahcamo.html

Green anti-fouling paint: 3-4 parts Revell 48 + 1 part White.

So that would be:32148 Sea Green+ White? (http://scale-models.nl/cc-revell.html)

Colouring is not my favorite ,but I'll try and see how it goes

You could try Revell 32365 - patina green. I used it as antifouling on my trawler. See it on my avatar. I'm having trouble posting pictures just now so can't attach a better image

The grey funnel line underbody were painted in what was called CHOCADMAR which was a brownish red, before they tried "super fast" blue.
