Common guys! Don't be shy. Done a Google and I suppose I could mix it, but some straight out of the can'd be nice. Might do a Warspite in PINK, that OK?

What about Games Workshop paints? I'm sure they have something of that description.
Snot green interior?

Games Workshop have a nice range admitedly. NIPPLE PINK was the unofficial name for that PINK used by Mountbatten to paint his flotilla of destroyers, and it had other users too. I fancy a PINK battleship, although I doubt it was used on such things. Now I intend to do lots of research on this.....definitely a hands on primary research topic, and photographs will need to be heavily scrutinised. After all, "primary research" is the only way to get near the truth. NIPPLE PINK.....the search is on. It seems to be a greyish pinky mauve (unlike any NIPPLE I've seen) but I'm still looking. Wish me look. 'Cause, the colour may be all wrong, being misinterpretations of black/white photographs and old memories (or mammaries?). A bit like RLM 84? Not the colour but the search for the truth.

Ayup all... Radish, Wasn't there a film with cary grant and/or jack lemmon or a.n. other star in a film where an american submarine/ cruiser/ ship was painted pink becos that was all they had? one of those films that took a mongrel crew and made them men/heroes? I seem to remember a sunday afternoon film like that from the dim and distant past.

The film was Opration Petticoat. Starred Tony Curtiss and Cary Grant methinks. The pink was made as they had a lot of red lead paint and not a lot of grey.
Ask Creampievendor, he's yer man for sub trivia.
