Metal decks were painted the same gray as the vertical surfaces on IJN ships. Destroyers and cruisers had reddish-brown linoleum on parts of their decks. Wooden deck areas were left in natural wood. The IJN only started experimenting with camouflage very late in the war. Some of the carriers were painted in shades of green with disruptive patterns that were meant to look like a smaller ship alongside. Flight decks had disruptive patterns that looked like turrets and gun barrels.
Thank you, weedsrock2! That confirms that I have to paint the ship in general all the same color!
Thanks for your help!
