Since the guy who did this tutorial is also a member I though I would ask here.

As you probably know, Krylon discontinued their ultra flat colours which had IRC 12 colors in favor of the new Krylon Camouflage line which has only 4 colors (black, dark brown, sand/khaki and OD).

Trying to fill the void between dark brown and khaki I googled left and right and I've found that the Rustoleum Enamel flat/satin series has a lot of different colors and some in-between dark brown and khakis and they're also available locally. I've bough some Dark taupe which apparently is very similar to Magpul's FDE.

So have you guys experimented with the stuff ? I know it's apparently a bit harder to remove than Krylon but would it cause problems using it for stripping over a base coat of krylon ?

or should I inspire myself from this one:
