can't speak to matching color, but brownells sells their aluma-hyde paint. I used it on a 80-in-the-white, and it's held up quite well. Pretty tough stuff.

Duracoat Magpul FDE is VERY close, as is the Aluma-Hyde II Magpul FDE. If you must have exact matching, there is really on one solution, have everything coated at the same time in the same color. Duracoat is what I use and can be applied to grips, stocks, forends, uppers and lowers, pretty much anything but I don't think it would work well on ruberized parts like the Magpul MOE+ grip.

If you want to do it yourself, Brownell's sells an epoxy compound that comes in a spray can. The directions require a little more work than just using regular paint in a can, but as the epoxy hardens over a couple of days, it comes out really well. You can do multiple coats if you want, and the first coat hardens enough to touch it within an hour or two.

The Aervoe Coyote is close enough for me, I think they have an even closer color match now.

Bump for more responses. I need to do some close matching Magpul FDE paint on some small parts.

Rustoleum "Nutmeg"
It's a semi-gloss, but would look fine on small parts. It's a very close match, if you want simple rattle can. |

Ditto on the Alumahyde Coyote. It is a close a match as you will probably ever find.

Here is my 10 shades of FDE rifle.
Aerovoe Coyote on the Upper Receiver. Lower was factory Cerakoted FDE. Handguard is brand new, so not dirtied up yet. Did the upper about 3 years and 2k rounds ago. It is a little oil soaked now.  This best represents the color in natural lighting.
