: I know there have been a lot of talk in the bottom color. I've started my second Titanic today. I've found a great color for the bottom. Prime it with a coat of flat black, lightly airbrush it with a thin coat of insignia red until a good hint of red. Of course I can't tell everybody to do this since I don't know the color myself. However, this combination is the closest I've ever seen to the movie and the painting. Will send pictures to Sean later. Joe.
Joe,
Seem to me I read somewhere that they used Rusoleum Red Primer #1967 on the set of Titanic. I have used it on all 3 of my hulls and it looks great. It looks like a red/rust/brown color more maroon in nature and matches the movie hull exactly.
Regards,
Jerry
