Most people use Humbrol #5.

Use a medium gray flat, specifically Testors 1138. If you can get it in Quebec (it's available in the States - don't know about Canada), it's available for purchase online or at a hobby shop that specializes in model airplanes, trains, etc.

 

Humbrol #5 is popular with Europe-based troopers, but I've heard some non-favorable reviews regarding the Humbrol #5 available in the States.

Should have said "most people in Europe", I guess.

 

Testors are rare in Europe, so we use Humbrol. I haven't seen them together, so I have no clue what the difference is. You could just go with the one your garrison mates use, that way you will at least match them. Either way, you can't really go wrong.
