I have used the grey primer a lot, but have recently found other greys I prefer.
I think the Halfords has a hint of pink in its appearance.Not everyone I know agrees with me. If you have shops like 'The Range' or 'Wilkos' near you I suggest you check out what they have in their 'own brand' paints.

Thanks to all. Happily Halfords grey auto primer spray is a shade lighter than 5-o but "close enough". Previous Message
2 FACTS on the liberty paint,1/- the USN ships were mostly in USN standard colour, measures
2/-the rest were not, and were in a local standard mix, whatever was quickest , cheapest to do!
the "c" and victory ships had more care taken as theywere expected to servr post war! Previous Message
Here's a color video of SS Hannibal Victory in 1944 ish. About 5 minutes in there is a view of part of the main deck that appears to be B 20. There are some other shots where the deck is visible later in the video.
The ship appears to be a medium grey with a bluish tint. Maybe Haze Grey? Or maybe color shift in the film? There is also a Part 2 of this film.
Hope this helps, David
