Found this spray paint at a Walmart. Kinda wish it was more a nato green.
What do you guys think of it?

I don’t paint moderns, so I’m not up to speed on ‘proper’ colors, but it looks good to me. I’ve used their camo paint for everything from making damaged markers to weathering rails on my model railroad.

That is my new standard base colour. I'm using a green ink wash with it (Army Painter).
Works for me.

What color is it identified as on the can?

I have not seen that color even when this line has been in Lowe’s and/or Home Depot.
Thank you.

Hmm.... I try that green ink.

Looks very good to me, I was worried that the spray cans would come out in big globs, relatively speaking, so does it cover the miniatures well? Do details get overrun with bigger aerosol droplets from the spray?

Spray covers well with one coat and pigment is very fine.
I did a coat one each side and the paint didn’t cover all the details of the mini.
Weather is nice out today and I’ll try a few more items.
Just not too sure of the color since I really like the rich nato green. I do see it’s lighter so the wash really brings out the details.

Too olive for me to be an exterior color.

Yes, I agreed if it didn’t wash/ink well I wouldn’t even consider it.

I used to use it as primer, but I had a few problems with rough surface/beading up on the model.
