Tamiya's XF-53 is the acrylic equivalent of the AS-7 lacquer in the rattle can. Also "neutral gray", but some degree of mixing may be necessary for a perfect match in sheen and tone.

Just checked my Hobby Color paint converter App,and it says there are no direct equivalent,so you may have to mix something.You should download their App or something similar,they are helpful.
