Been thinking of painting my AR for a long time now, and I've read up on the methods for everything from Cerakote to Rattle can. Originally wanted to do Cerakote, and maybe will one day still, but it's permenant and I'm poor. So I figure I'll do a rattle can job, because I do like the worn look, I can always touch it up. And if I don't like it, I can strip it off and Cerakote the bugger!
I've decided that I want to paint it very similar to the ADM UIC AR-15. Love the Color and the contrast between it and the Magpul FDE.
Or this pic screenshot from a Youtube video and cropped:

The Question:
Does anyone know a color that should come out like that? I'll be painting over the Black Anodizing and I want it just a shade darker than the Magpul FDE.
I've looked at Aervoe Coyote, and it looks pretty close in some pictures and way to chocolate brown in others. When I was looking at Cerakote colors I was thinking Austrian Dark Earth if you're more familiar with it and know a cheap rattle can alternative.
Thanks in advance!
