Anyone have an idea what shade of grey are the UBP troopers? Got my Movie Destro figure today and looked at both him and the UBP trooper and realized they are the same color, anyone know what kinda shade of gray they are? Looks too light to be black and too dark to be regular grey.

not to sure? they always have like 2-3 versions of certain primary colors not sure on the gray you might have to mix white/black/gray to match the color needed always do it in test strokes on paper let it dry and compare

I just went through all of my gray paints, and it looks really close to Testors Navy Gloss Gray, FS 16081. I hate using gloss on small projects, maybe they make FS 36081, that would be easier to spray...

Could take a figure to the local Home Depot or Loews and see if they can paint match? Wouldn't use those paints, but could give you a shade and color number to go by and can start comparing the good paints.
