A match of Benjamin Moore 80 Black (PM-9) is a very deep near-black with a subtle cool cast, reading more like a soft charcoal black than a warm black. Its low chroma keeps the color restrained, while the low LRV means it will appear quite dark on most surfaces.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color is suited to small parts and hardware where a dark, low-distraction finish is needed. It can be used on shelf brackets, rail hardware, vent covers, switch plates, speaker grilles, mailbox parts, lamp components, camera housings, and PVC fittings after proper prep.

Because this is so dark, surface condition and sheen can show through more readily than on lighter colors. Coverage usually depends on substrate color, primer choice, and film build, and thin spray passes may read a little grayer before full coverage is built. A gloss finish can also make texture and edge irregularities more visible.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ 80 Black (PM-9) *

What surface prep should I do before spraying 80 Black (PM-9) from MyPerfectColor on my part?

Start by cleaning the item so dust, oils, wax, and grease are removed. If the surface is already painted or has a slick finish, a light scuff can help the coating grip better. Mask off any areas that should not receive paint, and always test MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Benjamin Moore 80 Black (PM-9) on the actual surface before coating the full part.

That test is important because the same color can behave differently on metal, plastic, wood, or an older coated surface. A small test also lets you confirm adhesion, coverage, and how the finished 80 Black (PM-9) match looks on your specific item before you commit to the full project.

How does sheen affect MyPerfectColor 80 Black (PM-9) when I order a match of this color?

Sheen changes how 80 Black (PM-9) reads on the finished item. Lower gloss finishes usually reduce reflectivity and can hide surface texture better, while higher gloss finishes reflect more light and can make marks or application flaws easier to see. The same color match can look noticeably different depending on the finish you choose.

For MyPerfectColor paint matched to Benjamin Moore 80 Black (PM-9), choose the sheen based on the part's use, cleaning needs, and the look you want on the completed surface. If the item will be handled often or needs easier wipe-downs, that is a practical factor to weigh before ordering.

Can MyPerfectColor match 80 Black (PM-9) on plastic parts and other difficult surfaces?

Yes, but plastics vary widely, so prep matters. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but for better adhesion on 80 Black (PM-9), use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel and test on the actual plastic first. That is the safest way to confirm how the surface accepts the coating.

This is especially important on low-energy or slick materials, because a color match can still fail if the substrate does not bond well. If the part is a vent, cover, grille, trim piece, or other removable plastic item, a small test helps you decide whether you need primer before painting the full piece.

What should I confirm before ordering a custom match of 80 Black (PM-9) from MyPerfectColor?

Before you order, confirm the brand reference, the exact color name and code, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need. MyPerfectColor is making a custom match to Benjamin Moore 80 Black (PM-9), not selling Benjamin Moore's original paint product, so it is worth checking those details carefully before checkout.

Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so the safest approach is to verify the reference and make sure the format fits your project. If you are matching a part that must coordinate with an existing item, double-check the color reference before placing the order.

What is the best spray technique for 80 Black (PM-9) to avoid runs or uneven coverage?

Apply MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Benjamin Moore 80 Black (PM-9) in light, even coats rather than trying to cover the part in one heavy pass. Keep the spray moving, overlap each pass slightly, and hold a consistent distance from the surface so the film builds evenly.

Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking color build, especially on edges and detailed parts. If the piece is small, awkward, or has multiple faces, it is usually better to use several controlled coats and let each one set up before the next pass.

How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Benjamin Moore 80 Black (PM-9)?
