Match of Benjamin Moore™ HC-173 Edgecomb Gray *

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used and how much reflectivity you want. A lower sheen usually hides surface texture and small imperfections better, while a higher sheen is easier to wipe clean and will reflect more light. A match of Benjamin Moore HC-173 Edgecomb Gray can look different at each sheen level, so the finish is part of the ordering decision, not just the color.

For Benjamin Moore colors like HC-173 Edgecomb Gray, MyPerfectColor supplies its own custom-matched paint in specialty formats rather than Benjamin Moore interior or exterior house paint. If you are matching a vent cover, fixture, trim piece, or other removable part, pick the sheen that fits the part and the environment before you order.

Coverage for HC-173 Edgecomb Gray depends on the size of the item, the surface texture, the hiding power needed, the application method, and how many coats the project will need. If you are using MyPerfectColor custom spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

For larger projects or multiple parts, estimate the total painted area before ordering and plan extra material for rough, porous, dark, or uneven surfaces. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats can cover much more than spray paint, but the exact coverage still depends on the specific product and the surface you are coating.

Start by cleaning the surface so it is free of dust, dirt, oils, and grease. Let it dry fully, then lightly scuff smooth surfaces when appropriate so the coating can grip better. Mask off any surrounding areas you do not want to paint.

Before painting a larger area, test HC-173 Edgecomb Gray on the actual item whenever possible, especially on plastic, metal, PVC, or previously coated parts. This is a practical way to check adhesion and see how the color and sheen read on the real substrate.

Custom-made HC-173 Edgecomb Gray orders should be chosen carefully because MyPerfectColor makes the paint to your selected color reference, product type, sheen, and quantity. These custom color matches are not returnable or refundable.

Before you place the order, verify that HC-173 Edgecomb Gray is the correct Benjamin Moore reference and confirm the format you need. That is especially important if the project is time-sensitive or if the item will be compared directly against an existing painted surface.

For HC-173 Edgecomb Gray in spray form, apply several light, even coats instead of one heavy coat. Keep the can moving, hold a consistent distance, and overlap each pass slightly so the finish builds evenly without runs or heavy spots.

This approach is especially useful on small parts like hardware, grilles, brackets, vents, or trim pieces. Dry time and recoat time depend on the specific MyPerfectColor product, film thickness, temperature, humidity, and the surface itself, so follow the label directions for the product you ordered.
