Hey Dale.

I did a bit of research and it seems there isnt one definite style they were painted.

Across the Atlantic, the first PT Boats went to the Mediterranean, arriving in early 1943. Photographic and anecdotal evidence combine to give the following: All boats in Squadron 29 (numbers 552-563) were painted for a time in an overall pale blue, including the decks. This color was called Robins Egg Blue, this color may in fact have been Thayer Blue. All boats in Squadron 15 (numbers 201-218) and all boats in Squadron 22 (numbers 302-313) were painted for a time in overall black. There was the wearing of Ocean Gray overall by a few boats, and some boats were Haze Gray (Measure 13) while at least three boats operating in the English Channel (numbers 71, 72, and 199) were painted Mountbatten Pink from May to October 1944.
