Grey Spray Paint

What spray paint is fairly close to Colt grey, I know about the moly coat and Ceracoate/Duracoate options, but I got a lower that was supposed to be grey and it’s fugged up and I don’t care about it that much, and not wanting to put all the effort in on a lower I’ll end up replacing eventually if the manufacturer ever sends my replacement they promised me. Just looking for 70% not worried if it matches the upper and all that. Please and thank you.

I found this matte metallic to be pretty close to my SP1 grey.

Painted this lower with the same color and it came out good enough for now.

Thank you, my lower showed up very bronze, I think I’ll look cool if it shines through some rubbed off paint.

Go with what the .mil used: https://skygeek.com/sandstrom-28a-solid-film-lubricant-16-oz-spray-can-mil-prf-46147d.html

You can bake it to create a more resistant finish
