Thank you gentlemen. I tried colurcoats but the one company who sells in the US but they had a thirty diplomat minimum order and they had nothing else I needed.

Not sure if it is still available but Colourcoats had a Spar. I picked one up a couple of years ago for a cutter I plan to make. A quick search shows it https://www.sovereignhobbies.co.uk/collections/modern-naval-colours/products/colourcoats-us43-m22-us-coast-guard-spar-fs-30371

If this is the particular shade of Spar Brown you're looking for:

and you like using Tamiya, try XF 68 NATO Brown lightened with XF 57 Buff. Amount of lightening depends on how much weathering you want to do.

I am trying to do a 1/700 shapeways Coast Guard Cutter Mackinaw as she appeared in January 1945. She is overall flat white but her stack is spar. I am trying to match the spar color to an easily available paint. Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you for your time.
