Working on an old engine stand to mount a c45 prop I restored for display . Any suggestions for a decent OD spray paint I can buy at Lowes, Ace or similar?

i normally use Rapco or behr but this is not a vehicle and will be inside . Don't want to go to the trouble of setting up a sprayer and don't want to order paint for such a small project.

The Krylon, is what I use often.

It's a little darker than milspec, but looks great.

It's the closest thing I have found.

Was passing by an ACE today and picked up the Krylon. It worked great very close to the WWII OD I was looking for. Thanks for the replies.

Looking Good! The C-45 is one of my favorite aircraft. Catalina Flying Boats used to have 2 C-45s, that delivered the New York Times daily, from Long Beach CA., to San Diego CA.
