    I've done a few searches with no results. I'm looking for the grey/bluish paint used on Air Force aircraft, in a matte finish. All the paint I find is hobby paint or in a spray can. I'd like to get either a gallon of the stuff if possible.

    Any help would be appreciated from any of the Military Vehicle Preservation folks here on the forums.

    Thanks Pete, but I'm not looking for Strata Blue. Maybe I should have been more specific, I'm looking for this color in a Matte finish:

    Have you tried automotive/industrial paint stores? They might have color charts you can look through. I know you're not looking for OD, but for example you would be surprised at how many different shades of OD are out there.
