Short answer is no. Some say TS9 works but it's not a good match.
If you're a) mad or b) loaded or c) both of the above, you could try:

I guess it's so expensive because it's made to the full mil spec.
The only answer out of the box is to go for an acrylic or enamel and use an airbrush.
Xtracrylics do a good acrylic match:

And White Ensign do a very accurate enamel:

My choice would always be the acrylic for the base coat and then use enamels and oils for weathering.
Hope this helps but I suspect you're after the one shot spray can solution - difficult.

Stephen,
Thanks for the reply and links, Your right in that I was hoping for a Tamiya rattle can that was a close match but I may have to get the airbrush out and use the acrylic.
