Alright guys...I'm on a OD kick. I have been for a bit. Just finally got my ass in gear and actually spray painting my man toys. I bought two cans of rustoleum "deep forest green" and I'm unhappy with it. However, it's the only company I've seen out there that still markets a  "camouflage" line of spray paints. Apparently, Krylon's line died.

I shmall kine like Magpul's OD, but it's slightly browner than I like. If I could get as close to the OD as my Springfield M1A, that would just make my day.

Looking for suggestions!

I'd post pics but taking a picture in terrible light with a sub par camera with an importance on very specific color and then presenting it to be displayed by different monitors in various light settings sounds like a futile endeavor. After 4 or 5 coats, the Rustoleum "Deep Forest Green" is still too bright. Oh the cap looks nice and dark - it even matches the Magpul OD very well. Not once it's on metal or polyer thingies though.

Painting black EOTECH hood, black MAGPUL magazines, and black rail guards.

Have you tried looking into DuraCoat? They have OD Green and quite a few other shades of green. It will run you a little more but should be more durable.

Walmart still carries the KRYLON camo for like $6 something, if it's in stock. The KRYLON camo green is always missing though.. O'Reily's (aka Checkers) Also carries the KRYLON brand camo at like $8 a can....
 I bought some RUSTOLEUM camo from City Mill in Waipahu for like $5 a can...The cool thing with the RUSTOLEUM brand camo is that there's a lot of different shades of camo..
.There was a can of green satin RUSTOLEUM that I bought once from Walmart and it turned out Glossy!
I spoke to Daniel at KGS and he was telling me he used some Brownells before on his AR....Duracoat colors are awesome! It's so hard to choose a color cause they got so much different shades of the same color..

Venturing out from the "camouflage" line is what I was going to do next. The Deep Forest Green was the darker green of rustoleum's camo line of spray paints. I think I'm going to try "Hunter Green" next. Got to make sure it's flat lol.

I went to Walmart by Ala Moana - no krylon, and was out of rustoleum camo green. Same thing with City Mill on Waialae. No Krylon, out of rustoleum camo green the first time I went. Went to Home Depot and Lowe's. No Krylon, and no rustoleum camo line at all. Went to K-mart on Nimitz. They don't even have paint. Called OGC and talked to Carter. No spray paint, no OD rails - just the in-color and black. I heard sherwin williams has a relationship with krylon so I called them today. They don't have the camo line but he suggested "Hunter Green", their own brand of it. So I bicycled to Sherwin Williams by Sushi King on South King after work today....That's no longer where sherwin williams is located, and whatever paint store that was there was closed anyway.

All for some fricken decent "OD" spray paint.

And the local government is pissed off that I shop online and can't syphon any money from it......I'd buy this online too if that idiot law didn't put hefty charges on aerosol cans several years ago.

Oh yeah also, I think I'll check with the surplus store on sand island access. WWII OD would be almost exactly what I'm looking for I think. Gotta wait til the sun comes up O_O

I read online once that Sherwin Williams sells a type of paint thats close to Duracoats ingredients....Is it called ingredients? Anyways, it's called POLANE.. Iv'e never checked it out though...
 I don't plan to keep my rifles the same color for long, so I didn't wanna spray Duracoat and have a hard time taking it off everytime... 
I know what you mean by "Venturing" away from the camo thing... I sprayed my Sig 516 Flat Kahki and Almond White... with satin green accents...

Duracoat, GunKote, Alumahyde etc., would be good choices if you want something more permanent. But the problem is getting it to Hawaii. IMO, it's harder to get shipped in than ammo.

Sorry, that was probably be me. Whenever I'm at (any) Walmart and see Krylon Camoflage in brown, khaki or olive, I clear the shelves. 


Dregs - What you're looking for is the Camoflage Olive. It's not discontinued and very close to Magpul's OD.

Oh yeah, Daniel at KGS said he'll bring in Duracoat if we need it....I hope I'm not putting him on the spot but I remember him telling me that about a month ago... With the world of "firearms" though, it's always good to get an update daily.. Now a days things get changed fast as well as rules and laws."In stock today sold today and waiting for new shipment.." Maybe thats what Obama meant by "CHANGE"

Have you tried a hobby shop?

When I was younger I used to buy paint for model airplanes at a hobby shop.

I think theres one in Pearlridge, or maybe a Ben Franklin?

Yeah I apologize I went to walmart for a 2nd time and like Magic Krylon was there. I'm sure I just missed it the first time lol. I could not find Krylon's camo olive though. This time I stayed there looking for like 30 minutes in the krylon section lol. I picked up krylon's camo woodland light green, which, is really bright, but not too bad for some of Hawaii's foliage. Especially the weeds out by my porch LOL. I was surprised how much it matched.

Ya know, I didn't want to duracoat anything. Just not looking for the permanent-like stuff. Thank you guys for the info though!

Now....to repeatedly go to walmart to find krylon's olive...

I used to love painting Warhammer 40k miniatures, so Dark Side in Ward Warehouse and the old hobby shop which is now behind the Dillingham DMV area is where I used to go. Several years ago I was wondering why their spray paint section was so  scarce - all I wanted was black primer. They told me shipping for the stuff has gone insane, so they're going to stop stocking a lot of it. Told me to use Chaos Black instead.

I really haven't been back to a shop since then.

I haven't gone to Wal Mart in awhile but I'll grab the CamoOlive for you if I see it. .I'm running out of Khaki....

Thanks for being brave and showing those pics. lol! That's classic!

Went to Flor-dec today to see if they stocked the Krylon Camo in ODG. They were out but they did carry a new line of paint I've never heard of called Design Master. They had dark green called Moss Green #721 that caught my eye. There's a website which shows the various shades of green Design Master produces.

Not sure if the paint comes out satin, gloss or flat but that's not a big deal since you can always apply a flattening agent to take out the gloss.

Like the new avatar pic, Farknocker.

Haha! You get credit for the top half of the avatar!  Wouldn't have gotten it if you hadn't brought it to my attention.

Don't know how I missed this thread but the surplus store in sand island has it. She had a few cans at the gun show. It was like olive drab or something. She said its the green they paint all the military vehicles. They should have it in stock. Go check them out.

Thats the Military HQ...lots of surplus and hard to find small parts. Anyone who visits should take a minute and chat with Sandy.

Its called Military HQ?

I went to Ben Franklins close to YG on my way to town to check out their paint supply today. Ben's also carry the design master rattle cans in the Moss Green. I brought in my AR into the store to compare the color of my rifle to the color on the rattle can and have attached a photo for comparison.  Funny, I couldn't figure out why people were running out of the store.

Anyways, I know the quality of the camera and lighting can be deceiving but let  me know if you think the color matche is better than the other alternatives.
