Match of Benjamin Moore™ HC-174 Lancaster Whitewash *

Use light, even coats and keep a steady distance from the part. Overlap each pass slightly and avoid heavy wet passes, which can run, build uneven sheen, or make the color look muddy as it dries.

With HC-174 Lancaster Whitewash, the final look can shift with film build and surface texture, so small fixtures, vents, trim pieces, and other removable parts usually do best with several controlled coats instead of one heavy coat. Follow the dry-time guidance for the product you order before recoating.

Primer depends on the surface, its condition, and the MyPerfectColor format you order. A primer is often helpful on bare, patched, glossy, slick, or very porous substrates, and it can also help when covering a dark color with a lighter match like HC-174 Lancaster Whitewash.

If the item is already painted and the existing coating is sound and compatible, primer may not be required. For the safest result, check the prep guidance for the specific product before you start.

Custom-made color orders should be confirmed carefully before checkout because they are made to your selected reference and are not returnable or refundable.

Before ordering HC-174 Lancaster Whitewash, confirm the color reference, MyPerfectColor product format, sheen, and quantity so you get the right match for the part you are painting.

Coverage depends on the size of the item, the texture of the surface, the hiding power needed, the spray method, and how many coats the job takes. For small spray projects, one can of spray paint typically covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

For other paint formats, a typical coverage range is about 400 to 600 square feet, but the real coverage can be lower on rough, porous, or dark surfaces. If you are coating vents, railings, hardware, or other detailed parts in HC-174 Lancaster Whitewash, it is safer to plan a little extra than to run short mid-project.

Choose sheen based on how the part will be used and how much surface reflection you want. Higher gloss is usually easier to clean and more reflective, while lower gloss tends to hide surface texture and minor flaws better.

Because sheen changes the way HC-174 Lancaster Whitewash reads on the finished item, the same color can look different in matte, satin, or gloss finishes. If the part must coordinate with other coated components, pick the sheen that fits the application and the surrounding surfaces, not just the color name alone.
