I am looking for the RAL Color for the Russian RDG 5 Grenade, if there is no RAL available perhaps somebody can tell me what the color must be , thank you
please send pm to ben@junier.eu
 
I recently made a couple of replica RDG-5s (3d-printed bodies, real inert fuzes) and I used graffiti spray paint from these guys, more specifically "LOW2241 - SLIME": https://www.kobrapaint.com/en-prodotti-kobrapaint-spray-paint-400ml-low-colors-graffiti.asp

I think they came out pretty ok - I compared it to some actual soviet kit I had lying around (canteen, trench periscope, etc) and it's a bit lighter, but has the same green undertone as the soviet paint. Also, it looks much closer in real life than in the picture. Since RDG-5s come in a variety of shades, I think it's "within tolerances".
