I had a hard time matching the paint for the same reasons listed. The Krylon Camouflage OD is to dark. I did the following

Base Coat: Krylon Fusion (Green) 2 coats

Main Clour: AERVOE Light Green (34151) Military Vehicle and Recreation Camo Paint Meets FS595 Color Specs (2 coats)

Krylon Satin Clear coat (2 coats)

Krylon Matte Finish (2 coats very light)

All coats were very light to minimize the buildup. As stated the Krylon Matte is used for artwork and isn't as durable as the actual satin clear. I used it only to dull the satin finish. Too many coats and it goes white so it has to be used sparingly. It came out far closer in my opnion to the actual CF color then any of the OD. I'm only halfway done my C8 conversion as you can see. Still need a buttplate, elcan and Triad rail.
