For those who have done a good deal of cerakote work and have handled a manners scorched earth stock, what two colors are closest to the two brown/tan colors used in the stock? Any help is appreciated. Thanks
 
I'm building one on a scorched earth. Don't know what color this is but I sent it to my smith and told him to match it. The original pic came off this site: https://exilefirearms.com/
They surely know. I don't know that it matches 100% as I'm somewhat color blind but it looks good to me!

The lighter color looks a lot like the same lighter color in Tac Swamp. I used Elite Sand to match that color. You could check with Manners to see if they are the same. In my photos, it looks a bit yellowed compared to actual colors. It is actually a touch more grey in the sunlight.

As for the darker color, you can have the color custom matched. Looks like it has some of the H Series Copper in it. I helped my Cerakote guy match this one. Not the same, but has 80% Copper, 16% Gold, and 4% S&W Red in it to make is more orange.

Great information. I was looking to do something similar with the elite sand. That was where I was leaning.
 
I know this is old…but anyone have pics or ideas of colors they would be willing to share for the scorched earth stock?
