So I have this E.A. A1 receiver with this original gray color, and I'd like to get my colt A1 upper receiver to match it.  What can I do?
Thanks guys.

Id prefer to only have to touch the upper, and leave the lower alone and original, but I could do both if I had to.

I'd also like to do this myself, rather than send them out.

Brownells Alumahyde II in Parkerizing gray will probably match pretty good and will be the cheapest fastest way. But Norrells moly resin lays out a lot nicer and is a more durable coating, but you need an air brush and air, and 8oz cost about $30.00. Matching grays can be tricky. Might have to paint both pieces to be exact. Good luck

Hey thanks a lot for the info!
Didnt realize I ever got an answer haha.

Yea Ill probably go with the Alumahyde in park gray, and just do both the upper and lower receivers.
