Match of Coronado Paints™ G 39-3 Little Calumet *

Yes. The G 39-3 Little Calumet color reference does not define sheen, so the finish has to be chosen based on how the item will be used. Lower sheens usually reduce reflectivity, while higher sheens are easier to wipe down and will make the matched color read differently on the finished surface. If you are coating a part that will sit near other painted items, keep the sheen choice consistent with the surrounding surface whenever possible.

Plastics vary a lot, so it is best to test on the actual part before you commit. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but adhesion can change with the specific plastic, the texture, and any mold release or contamination on the surface. Clean the part first, and use the MyPerfectColor primer to improve adhesion on difficult plastics or other low-energy surfaces: MyPerfectColor primer. If the item matters, do a test spray on the same material before painting the final piece.

Clean the metal thoroughly, remove rust, loose coating, oil, wax, and chalk, and scuff the surface so the new coating has a sound profile to grip. If you are painting over an existing finish, the old coating's gloss, texture, and condition can affect how G 39-3 Little Calumet looks after it dries. Any failing or contaminated coating should be corrected before painting, and a small test area is a good idea when the existing surface is worn or unknown.

Confirm G 39-3 Little Calumet against a physical swatch or a known existing Coronado Paints reference, not just a screen image. Display settings can shift the way a color looks, and the code itself only identifies the target color reference, not the sheen or the condition of the surface you want to match. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so the safest way to avoid ordering the wrong product is to verify the physical color target first.

Coverage depends on the size of the surface, the texture, how much hiding power you need, your spray technique, and the number of coats. As a planning guide, a typical spray can covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paints commonly cover about 400 to 600 square feet depending on the product and surface. For G 39-3 Little Calumet, estimate the total area and allow extra if the part is rough, porous, dark, or previously repaired, since those conditions usually need more paint for even coverage.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Coronado Paints G 39-3 Little Calumet, we don't provide any crossover information because this is a subjective determination. Every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, so determining which color is the best approximation is a judgement call.

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