Magpul O.D. Green color matching

[Gunzilla]

Does anyone know who makes an O.D. green paint that closely matches the O.D. green of the Magpul like of accessories?

Looking to paint the hand guard on a new BCM upper that is on the way and would like to have the paint before the upper gets here.

....any suggestions?

Please post a sample pic or 2 if you have them....thanks in advance.

Rattle can them both the same color before they're installed

If the paint wears off, who cares, paint it again if it bothers you

Spray it all, guaranteed match.

Krylon's cammo green isn't bad. Here's the best pic I have of it

They don't have to match. From another thread-

For photos of painted ARs, there's always this thread-

If you search, I think there is a thread or two discussing various methods of painting rifles and what colors match what

I tried finding info but I have had no luck so far for a OD paint match.

Another vote for spray it all in the color of your choice.

I own some pretty guns that I don't take out in the rain - none of them ARs and all of them with wood stocks. If the stock isn't fine hardwood, I wouldn't worry about making it look purty.

'Thank you' to those that took time to respond.

I was hoping to keep it simple and just paint the hand guard, leaving the receivers and barrel black. I've thought about a complete paint job for awhile now and if I go that route I may shoot it in Foliage green. A local guy did that and it does look nice.....it's just not a desert friendly paint color.

One thing is for sure, I do not like the entire rifle painted 1 color, what I do like are the controls, pins and trigger left black.

....the idea obviously needs more thought before I commit to a major color change.

There's my Magpulfage special!
BTW, Magpul's OD greens don't seem to always match exactly. The stock/forend on my rifle seem to be a slightly lighter shade than one of their mags I have.
