    Dark Earth Paint?

    Does anyone know of a paint other than Duracoat that matches the Magpul Flat dark earth?

    I just examined an ACR at the shop that came with at least one matching PMag. It appeared to me to be of a different shade, more "yellowish" or coyote like the rifle than standard PMag. I would not get all wrapped up on matching shades. You can always "frost"" everything with the same shade of Duracoat or other finish if you really find it nescessary.

    Heck, I have seen 3 or 4 of the FN SCARs at gun shows and gun shops, and everyone that I laid eyes on seemed to have 3 different shades if flat dark earth on it.

    I've only seen one but it had several shades of FDE too. I've used krylon it has worked well for me

    I have my upper Duracoated FDE and my lower Ceracoated FDE. On mine I can tell you that the Ceracoat matches better to the Magpul products than the Duracoat. I don't know if this helps but I can Take couple of pics if you want?
