tamiya nato black is ok. its not quite black, more a dark green, i’ve used it on inner frames before. looks good and works with a bit of dry brushing after as well.
i live in the usa can they even ship that to were i live.?
spray cans? no, i don’t think you can do that.
But try this mate, they are in the US 🙂 hope u find what you need

I use the Krylon Camouflage Ultra Flat Olive color, although it looks more of a dark gray. If you want to private message me your email address Johann I got a couple pictures I can send you. Now if you are looking for something for like an air brush. I use Mr. Color. There are 3 grays in particular depending on the color of the original runner. Phantom Gray, grey (24), and extra dark grey. Hope that helps

cool, I emailed you the couple photos johann. Now as far as the Mr. Color goes, right now I mainly use it to cover up after I shave nub marks, but I hand brush for that. Haven’t tried them in my airbrush yet.
look at it and its too light.thxs for the help man.
yea, no problem. Good luck on finding what you need
You do know you can mix paints for a custom fit, right? 😛
I’d recommend custom mixing your paint if you really want something so specific. Just get some white and black paint and mix till you get the shade you want. This way it will actually be grey and not a dark blue or green.
also I’d like to point out that the frame color that Bandai uses on almost all their kits is 90% neutral grey + 10% black, and the really dark parts on most kits is actually midnight blue, but midnight blue is too dark to really show panel lines that well, infact I don’t normally bother lining it at all.
And one final thing, you can line lighter rather than darker for some rather interesting effects.
for example.
Burnt Iron (Tamiya) may also do what you are looking for….I love it!
Mr Colours ‘steel’ is also a nice colour
