Diemaco green vs Magpul olive drab

[koldt]

There are still vendors on this site that have actual Colt Canada handguards for sale, both full and carbine, in green and black.

Stupid question from the Yank Noob : Is there any kind of spec (vendor/source) on the CAG paint used in the early days, or does anybody have a recommendation for Cerakote, Duracoat or even Krylon that gets "in the ballpark"?

I found the Krylon "camouflage" paint (it's flat) closely matches the Diemaco version of Green I have on mine.

All well and good for y'all Up North... for the small community of us Down South doing replications for various reasons (some naturalized-citizens who served up there, some collectors, some "special cases" like me), we're kinda on-our-own looking for Next Best.

Thanks--the #4296 Woodland Light Green on this page the one you're thinking of? http://www.krylon.com/products/camouflage-paint-made-with-fusion-for-plastic-technology/
