I did a test here:

And the dark gray seems to match up close to late 80's Colt A2s.  Have we found a rattle can color that is close to the XM gray?

Didn't see your question in the other thread about the colour.  It's the only grey that had at wally-world

Pic of the can. Will go see if I can find a colour number



ETA: 2089 Dark Grey wet sandable. Pretty good match for Nodak's retro receivers

I can try to get pics in natural lighting.

I would think paint lots as well as anodizing will vary from batch to batch?

I vaguely remember posting the picture and others going to try it. I've used it for two years now. I think it's a really nice match to the old stuff.
