US WW2 Grenade Canister Launcher color

I had posted a question earlier about the color on the US WWII Grenade Canister Launcher, and the answers I received said it was gray. The one I have I would like to repaint as a lot of the paint has come off, when I removed the rust. There is enough color left so I know what the gray looks like, but, what paint could I buy that would come close to the original color? There are a million grays out there.
Any help would be appreciated.
 
Testors model paint makes all the Fed Standard colors. Yours would be FS #36231.

Here it is in bottle form. I did not check to see if they have it in spray.

I have tried the paint recommended and it is an exact match for the launcher that I am touching up. Thanks again for the help.
