if it helps the blue that is used on the hulls is very much a lottery as before they were built at the same facility NO one actually knows what the true shade of the blue actually was not even the RNLI and if truth be known even the orange was the same....the closest we can summise to be correct if Ford Baliol Blue,Orange is VW Bright orange....Decks various shades of Grey used along the years,the best shade to use for the antifouling would be Either Halfords Red Oxide or Red plastic primer not a lot to choose between them.Any glodd brilliant white can also be used for the antifoulding.
Some of the lads reakon Vauxhall Regatta Blue is closer to the blue used it is puerly horses for courses on that one Personally I think it is to light.


Hope this is of Help
