BTW is 36270 used at all? I just wondered why it existed.


I have seen it specified for some areas, like the VLS launcher, but you have to dig pretty deep in contract documents to find it. I don't know specifically why it was first created in the first place.

Now you have said that, the penny might have just dropped. RN & RAN harpoons are matt and quite often look to be a different
colour to the surrounding weather work. I always assumed they kept the colour they were manufactured/delivered in with a "do not paint policy" on them. Hadn't really thought about what the colour might be.

The frames are painted onboard, but not the harpoon canisters. I'm not sure if they're painted at the factory, or if they're moulded that colour. Will see if I can find out.
