    I think you need to keep you expectations low or go for a contrast. A someone who loves FDE I've had to lower my expectations. Even parts from the same maker very enough to notice. I'm sure someone knows some one. Brownell's is good stuff. And reasonablly priced.

    The color on my computer can be WAY different than yours. The gray one in the selections on the website look white on my system. The "coyote" ones look olive drab on my system. Just be aware of that, that's all I'm sayin'. My Duracoat FDE didn't match my Magpul furniture very well, even if it seemed to in the internet world. All you can do is try it out, then repaint as needed.

    I would suggest contacting the coating vendors and ask them to provide the exact color to match the grip. I have had good luck with Cerakote H Series of coatings which have to be baked on.

    Why not Cerakote the entire pistol the same color? Cerakote does have air dry coatings for plastic.
    If the Odds are equal, you're doing it wrong

    This is a great option. If you pick a very close color worst case you scratch of the top coat and expose a scratch that nearly matches.

    I cerakote professionally and what's good about cerakote is if applied right it is super thin. You can spray a grip ect. And not tell a difference. Also if oven cured is used it'd very very durable. I agree with the others though, pick a color and shoot the whole pistol because you will never get an exact color match.
    Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow man is either a fool or a coward.
    Whoever cannot take care of themselves without that law is both.
    For a wounded man shall say to his assailant,
    'If I live, I will kill you. If I die, You are forgiven.'
    Such is the rule of honor.
