I know I'm dorking out here, it does anyone know what color Mcrees uses for their "FDE"? I'm going to have some things painted to match and was curious. A friend of mine who does a lot of firearm coating says it looks like the actual army issued color which is actually more of a Taupe then a actual FDE. So I'm just trying to figure out whh exactly it is. Can't get them the phone. Thanks for the help!

The way cerakote is prepped can cause it to have tone differences. I have two g5's and the tones are perfect. It may be hard to get it just right with another guy spraying components...email scott as suggested, it may be worth just sending what you want coated to scott and have them spray em the next time they mix up a batch.
