THE IMAGE ABOVE IS A PAID ADVERTISEMENT
Anyone know of a source that matches Magpul any good? Thanks

Ive used Krylon Ultra Flat camo paint in OD GREEN #4293 (sticker on the can). It is an almost perfect match to Magpul Foliage Green.

I'm sorry but I completely disagree. OD green is a dark, brownish green whereas foliage green is a lighter, grayish green. I have a can of Krylon OD Green 4293 and a FG Magpul stock and they are very different.

I've got 5 or 6 different shades of green spray paint so I'll take a look and see if any of them match Magpul's FG.

I bought the krylon olive 4293 and it was a little dark. I ended up dusting it a bit with some rustoleum army green 1920. It could use just a bit of gray, but it is
close enough for me. I will post a pic soon for any future seekers.

Cool. Foliage is my favorite Magpul color.

Judging by the color in that pic looks like the Rustoleum "Army Green" in their camo system would work pretty good too.

For an exact match, one is too dark the other too light by themselves. I got it as close as I could mixing the two, but it needs a little more gray to it.
Close enough for me as that will be the first thing to get scratched up and about 3 layers deep there is some Vltor foliage green duracoat that matches really good.

Aervoe makes a foliage green camo spray paint that is about dead on. I painted some rifle handguards to match a Vltor stock and it matched perfectly. I realized it may be a tad different than Magpul, but you will be close.
