Got Duracot Magpul FDE last week and I duracoated my SKS but it doesn't match actual magpul furniture as I hope you can see from this picture"

stock is ATI, AFG is magpul

How to mix Magpul FDE with which other colors to get a match. I did some research on the net and someone said they mixed Magpul FDE with Matt Black and achieved the match and I tried this today but the mix started turning green. I have limited supply of duracoat on hand and before I run out of my limited supply and possibly don't get it right I have to ask you who have encountered the same problem and how did you mixed duracoat to get the color right?

Thank you.

FDE is a very hard colour to mix , I mixed some from primary colours plus black and white took me 3 hrs of adjusting to get it right. Also there is quite a difference shade wise between wet and dry. At this stage I would agree with the above comments keep it as is and shoot it.

Quartermasterpaintball supply out of Oshawa is Canadian licensed dealer of Duracoat. They have online store on their facebook page. Google Quartermasterpaintball supply it should give you link to their facebook page.
They make two orders of duracoat from US per year and if ordered from them before they place an order you can get whatever color you want. First order was in February second will be in July. I placed my order before February deadline and got my package in early March.
 
I do cerakote and I agree that it's FDE is a closer match but. But the Dura coat isnt that far off I would be happy you got it that close.
