I've got some Model Master paints but none of them seem to be the appropriate hull red color I need. Any ideas out there for a ratio mix using Model Master paints to get a nice hull red for a 1:350 USS Cole.
Cocoa Brown is the suggested color for the hull, but MM paints don't make that color.
My sons been on the Cole for about 2 months and I thought it would be cool to make this model.
Head over to Lowes and their spray paint aisle. The Rustoleum/Painter's Touch red primer is my personal go-to choice for USN hull red.
If you’re trying to match the hull color at the date of the attack, I suspect that you’ll be disappointed.
As you can see, the USN hull red was worn/faded down to a pink gray, and that’s what happened to her bright red hull once again. You can represent your sons’ ship either as she looks to her crew (reality) or to the dry dock crew (a recruiting fiction).

I think the Rustoleum Primer sounds like an excellent idea.....Thanks!!
That paint can be a little 'hot' on raw polystyrene. Use some caution and spray 3 or 4 light coats instead of one heavy coat
