[Milsurplus] Navy gray and green paint??

[Nick England]

The immediate post-war gray is decidedly darker than the 1953(?) and later
gray shade. I have used Rustoleum Smoke Gray as a pretty good match.
Rustoleum Dark Machine Gray might be better but is hard to find.
For the later shade I have used Rustoleum Light Machine Gray.
If you want an exact match, I believe Sherwin Williams can use their color
scanner to brew custom enamel if you take them a piece to scan. Don't know
about whether they can deliver custom paint in a spray can???

I will dig out the Mil-Spec but IIRC I only found it available in 55 gal
drums.
