Looking to spray a large batch of 8th army infantry with a the uniform color. It's a light Khaki color. Anyone have suggestions? Don't believe it's in the Army Painter lineup.

Army Painter "Skeleton Bone" is pretty close.

I plan on spraying with a darker Khaki then dry brush the lighter tone after. This gives a good depth of tone.

that's what I'm thinking. But I don't want to handbrush 150 guys for the basecoat when I might be able to spray it on. As there's no local hobby store nearby with a paint rack, I'm looking for the specific spray to order.

Bleached bone is a bit too tan / warm and I use it for the vehicles, so don't want to use it on the infantry.

Krylon has a camo line for hunters and outdoorsmen: link

Home Depot, Walmart, or any good reno store should have a number of browns you could use for a base coat.

Ace hardware is supposed to have good quality spray paint. I second the krylon camo as well.
