Paint to match Magpul FDE

cyclesarge · Post by **cyclesarge** » Wed Dec 23, 2009 11:15 pm

I'm not trying to step on any toes. I've got my AR decked out with a Moe handguard, grip and CTR stock all in FDE. I've got the matching P-Mags as well. The problem is the .22lr upper I just got, no Magpuls mags for that. Anyway long story short, does anyone know of a plastic paint (like Krylon's FUSION line) that matches the FDE?

I've not seen any Fusion, but Rustoleum "satin dark taupe" is pretty dang close...

Nice, I'll have to try that out. Anyone know which color of Duracoat is closest?

ETA: Should have looked at the list again before posting...

Cerakote FDE is very, very, close...

Middle one is the magpul FDE from Duracoat. Painted the mag and stock. Stock, pistol grip and rail covers are magpul.
