Need Aluma-Hyde Color For Restoration of Handguards

Doing a restoration of some Imbel and South African non-bipod cut handguards.Aluma-hyde looks like a good finish coat.Semi-gloss black should match the metal baked on SAR48 paint but the fiber glass is more like dark gray.The plastic used in the SA HGs is a lighter gray.I'm hoping someone has used Aluma-Hyde colors to approximate the original appearance.The Imbel NBC HGs in grey or OD green could clone the rare FN high $ sets.
Aluma-Hyde comes in park gray, dark park gray,Ruger gray,and stainless gray.They also list an earth brown that sounds like it might match the dark brown FN bi pod cut HGs.
Descriptions of colors don't work. Side by side comparison is the best way to pick the right color.Has anyone tryed any of these products?
