Match of Ralph Lauren™ VM146 Washed Navy *

Confirm VM146 Washed Navy from a physical Ralph Lauren swatch, a known existing color reference, or another approved sample that you can view in the same lighting as the item you plan to paint. Screen images can shift the color, so they are not enough when order accuracy matters. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so the target you approve should be the color you want matched.

If you only have a monitor or phone image, it is safer to get a physical reference first than to order based on the screen alone.

Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint can be used on many plastics, but plastics vary a lot, so a test on the actual part is important before you paint the full item. Clean the surface well and check how the paint behaves on that exact plastic, because slick or low energy plastics can change adhesion.

Using the MyPerfectColor primer made for acrylic enamel can help improve adhesion on difficult plastic surfaces. If the part is important or hard to replace, test first and confirm the result before finishing the whole piece.

MyPerfectColor spray paint is typically dry to the touch within minutes, can usually be recoated in 1 to 2 hours, and is fully cured in about 2 weeks. Dry to the touch is not the same as fully cured, so the coating can still be easier to mark or damage before the cure is complete.

If the part will be assembled, stacked, or handled heavily, wait for full cure before putting it into service.

Before painting metal with VM146 Washed Navy, clean off dirt, oil, wax, and other contamination, then remove rust or loose coating and scuff any glossy or smooth areas so the new paint can grab properly. If the metal already has an old coating, its condition can affect how well the new match looks and holds up.

Gloss, texture, and surface condition can change the final appearance, so a test spray on the actual metal piece is the safest way to confirm the result before painting the full item.

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used and how much sheen you want in the final result. Higher gloss finishes are usually more reflective and easier to clean, while lower gloss finishes are less reflective. The same VM146 Washed Navy color can look different depending on the sheen and the substrate.

If the item must coordinate with other painted parts, choose the finish that best matches those parts rather than selecting by color name alone. MyPerfectColor can supply the color match in spray paint and other formats for different application needs.

While we can provide Ralph Lauren VM146 Washed Navy in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another brand.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the brand you want.

Keep in mind that this just shows similar colors based on the color values we have stored in our database. It doesn't mean it is the same or give any approximation about how close the color is. You can play around with the Hue, Lightness and Chroma sliders to expand the selection.
