Match of James Hardie™ JH20-10 Sail Cloth *

Yes, if you are repairing factory-finished James Hardie siding after shipping damage, installation damage, field cutting, or service work, order MyPerfectColor paint matched to JH20-10 Sail Cloth. For direct touch up in this collection, only product options labeled Original Material Match are suitable because they include a sheen match.

If the repair is next to older installed siding, the color reference can still be correct while the aged surface reads differently because of weathering, texture, or sheen change.

Not always. A match of James Hardie JH20-10 Sail Cloth is a factory color reference, but an installed James Hardie surface can change over time from sun exposure, weathering, chalking, moisture, and sheen shift.

If you are matching an older surface, the safest approach is to compare against the existing part or an approved sample when possible. The color reference is still the right starting point, but it does not guarantee a perfect visual blend on aged siding.

For direct touch up on factory-finished building materials, choose Original Material Match when available because it includes a sheen match. That is the right format for repair work on James Hardie JH20-10 Sail Cloth.

Water-based housepaint and specialty products such as urethane or epoxy can still be color-matched, but they are better suited to separate parts, accessories, or broader repainting. They should not be treated as direct touch-up products for factory-finished siding.

A match of James Hardie JH20-10 Sail Cloth is a siding-family color reference, so it is commonly used when a replacement board, trim piece, soffit, fascia, vent, shutter, flashing, or other exterior accessory needs to blend with nearby James Hardie material.

If the job is direct touch up on the factory-finished siding surface, use Original Material Match. If you are painting a separate part or accessory, MyPerfectColor can make a match of JH20-10 Sail Cloth in the format that fits that part.

Yes. Exterior exposure can change how JH20-10 Sail Cloth looks on installed James Hardie siding because UV, weather, moisture, and chalking can alter the way the surface reflects light over time.

That matters most when you are touching up a visible area next to older material. In that situation, Original Material Match is still the correct touch-up path, but a site-specific sample or existing-part comparison is often safer if the surface has aged unevenly.

It depends. MyPerfectColor matches the color of the James Hardie JH20-10 Sail Cloth but may not match the sheen. If you see Custom Sheen as a sheen option, this means we also match the sheen of the material, otherwise you would need to pick the closest sheen available. However, keep in mind that our version of the James Hardie JH20-10 Sail Cloth is based on matching an official James Hardie color sample. The color and sheen of your specific James Hardie parts may vary. If your material is not new and has been exposed to the weather, then it is likely that the color has changed over time. MyPerfectColor samples not been exposed to sunlight and weather. If you need a touch up application, you may need to send us a part so we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

Please note that if your existing materials are not new and you are trying to touch up, they will have aged and are likely different now than they were when new. MyPerfectColor will be sending paint matching the sample at our facility which has not aged the same as your materials and may also be different due to other factors such as variations in manufacturing processes. If your match is critical, you may consider sending a part of your materials for precise color matching. Learn more about our color matching services.
