Hi Gerry,

I haven't seen a lot of information on these late-war (mini-)subs, but it would appear that they were likely painted a similar light gray as was used for the Type VII/IX/XXI U-boats.

Please feel free to e-mail me if you'd like me to send you a color chart of the original Kriegsmarine colors.
