Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of Color Guild 8586A Metropolis is a dark, low-chroma green-gray with a cool cast and a slight teal undertone. With an LRV of 10.94, it reads deep rather than bright, and the muted character keeps the color subdued instead of vivid.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 8586A Metropolis can be useful on vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, railings, brackets, mailbox parts, shutters, PVC trim, and small metal or plastic fixtures that need a restrained green-gray finish. It also suits frames, shelving hardware, and other removable pieces where sprayed coverage is more practical than brushing.

Because the color is relatively dark, light or uneven substrates may need extra coverage to reach an even result. Surface prep, primer color, and film build can all change how deep it reads, and a glossier finish will usually make texture and sheen variation more noticeable. The low chroma helps keep the color controlled, but the final appearance still depends on the material and finish.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Color Guild™ 8586A Metropolis *

Can MyPerfectColor match 8586A Metropolis for plastic parts, and what should I know before ordering?

Yes, MyPerfectColor can make a custom spray paint matched to Color Guild 8586A Metropolis for many plastic projects, but plastics vary a lot. The same prep and primer that work on one plastic may not work on another, so test on the actual part before painting the full item.

For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer made for acrylic enamel and prep the surface carefully first. If the part has a very slick or low-energy surface, confirming adhesion on a sample piece is the safest way to avoid wasting the order.

Where can I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor 8586A Metropolis?

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the 8586A Metropolis color name by itself. Choose the exact MyPerfectColor format you plan to order, then review the Safety Data Sheet for that product.

MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets are available on the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page. Use that resource for the product you are buying so you are looking at the correct safety information.

What prep is needed before spraying Color Guild 8586A Metropolis on metal or an existing coating?

For metal or a previously coated surface, clean off dirt, oil, wax, and other contamination before applying a match of Color Guild 8586A Metropolis. If there is rust, loose coating, or peeling paint, remove that first so the new coating has a sound surface to bond to.

Scuffing a glossy or intact coating can help adhesion, but the final look can still change based on the old surface's gloss, texture, and condition. If the existing finish is failing, a primer or more complete prep is usually safer than spraying directly over it.

How do I spray MyPerfectColor 8586A Metropolis to get a smoother finish?

Use light, even coats of MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 8586A Metropolis rather than trying to cover in one heavy pass. Keep the can moving, overlap each pass slightly, and avoid stopping in one spot so the paint does not build up or run.

Thin, controlled coats usually give a cleaner result than heavy wet coats, especially on small parts, trim pieces, grilles, and hardware. If the surface starts to look patchy after the first coat, that is normal; build coverage gradually instead of flooding the part.

What should I confirm before ordering a custom match of 8586A Metropolis?

Before you order a custom match of Color Guild 8586A Metropolis, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity you need. Those choices affect whether the paint will work for your project and how the finished item will look.
