Red Cabin Tops

Last comment = does not matter where the transition colour boundary is as long as it's not wonky and proportions are kept sensible .... imho.

 Too nice to worry about technicalities!

However I am great believer in keeping life simple and just doing the best you can with what you have.
 - Keep it blue all over, more authentic and less edges to paint.
 - Put down a few protective bits of matt or whatever else comes to hand.
 - Tell people not to mash the pole, windlasses etc.
 - Not worry too much if it looks like you are using it.

At the end of the, a matt raddle red will also show marks if scratched with a pole/windlass.

Thanks everyone who has taken the time to make suggestions.

I have quoted Dan because what he says makes perfect sense. We have had a meeting this evening and discussed the livery and it has been decided that we will keep it blue. If we have to repaint it every couple of years to keep it tidy so be it. If we have a new friend who manufactures paints and the original has faded a bit then I am sure he will mix accordingly when we go to buy the next batch

Yes she has a very pretty bow doesn't she - I am a sucker for a Josher bow even if the cabin isn't the prettiest of conversions:
