[Boatanchors] Navy Gray

[Paul Kraemer]

Harry
Last time in Hobby Lobby I noticed Testors had a whole array of real neat 
shades of gray in small cans for model painting.
Sure looked like one ought to be just right for some of the old gear.
I've also heard that Ace hardware has a gray in their lineup that is very 
close to the greenish gray. Smoke gray satin?
