As the title says, how do you achieve Charcoal Gray color? This is the color i would like to get but I am not sure how to get that exactly:

A veteran, whether active duty, retired, national guard or reserve is someone who, at one point in his/her life, wrote a blank check made payable to "The United States of America" for an amount of "up to and including my life." That is honor and there are way too many people in this country who no longer understand it.

I dunno...

I'm not sure how that EXACT colour is achieved, but Codex Grey with a Badab Black Wash woorks well

I would suggest Tamiya Nato Black.It's not black and it's
not grey either, but it works well.Note that Tamiya paint
takes a bit of getting used to,but it is good.

that's painted with:
basecoat: chaos black
highlight:50/50 chaos black, codex grey.
final highlight: 25/75 chaos black, codex grey.
(or that's at least a qualified guess)

Tamyia Nato Black might be another way to go
