Looking for a Foliage Green spray paint?

I know of no spray paint that calls itself "Foliage Green" (the shade of green being used in both the Army's ACU/UCP camouflage and the Air Force's ABUPAT camouflage); however, I know of one that actually is Foliage Green, or atleast close to it!


Rust-oleum's "Deep Forest Green" is almost a perfect match to any ACUPAT/UCP/ABUPAT pattern. Although the cap makes it look Olive Drab, the paint is actually far different.

Here is a knife sheath painted with Rust-oleum's Deep Forest Green compared to a Foliage Green Hatch Hard-Knuckle Glove and a Propper ACU set. The first picture has no flash, while the second uses the camera flash. The flash of the camera really shows how the paint looks in real life.



When I realized how close these two colors were, I was absolutely ecstatic. Finally I can paint my gear and equipment to match my UCP ACUs. This makes an ACU/UCP paintjob much cheaper than going out and getting a duracoat kit, which was perviously the only way you could get a ACU/UCP paintjob on something you owned.
