Hi all,
Looking for a shade of grey that's as close as possible to MAGPUL STEALTH GREY in an off the shelf spray can. I'm using it on wood and don't need the thermal properties or hardness (or expense) of Cerakote or Duracote. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

In for the same.  Had any luck finding yet?

There are shades that get close. I got a couple that I'm testing. I'll report back results.

Thanks! Appreciate it.

I tried Duplicolor "Cast Coat Iron".  Cap color was kinda close, but actual color was far lighter than cap.

So from some online research I found this:

Here's the result. A Zhukov top cover is resting on top as a comparison. It's grey, but not dark enough.

Is this the color you're talking about?

It's a bit more towards the green. Sort of like a German WW2 Field Grey (Feld Grau) which is a green/grey hybrid. I used a flat coat sealer to take the shine off.

I think so.  It was p/n DE1651, "Cast Coat Iron"

My cap color was quite a bit darker than your photo, but that could just be due to web color inaccuracies. The actual result was just like your 2nd photo, way too light.

The Krylon Anvil Gray was on my list, but nobody in my small town stocks it.  Looks a far better match, guess I'll have to get to a "big city" & pick some up!

I'll keep looking too.

Thanks!

Any luck finding something closer to Magpul Stealth Grey in a spray can? I've got a handguard I want to paint and can't find anything local that looks like a good match.

Maybe this? Cap looks close but no experience.
