Match of Behr™ 5740 Rawhide *

Confirm Behr 5740 Rawhide from a physical swatch, an existing painted part, or another known color reference from the original brand. Screen images can shift with lighting and display settings, so they are not a reliable final approval method.

MyPerfectColor makes its own paint matched to the selected brand color reference, so the important step is verifying that Behr 5740 Rawhide is the target you want before placing the order. If your project is beside an existing surface, a test on the actual substrate can help reduce risk from aging, sheen, or texture differences.

Use light, even coats and keep the can moving so the match of Behr 5740 Rawhide builds gradually instead of going on heavy. Overlapping passes help reduce striping and uneven color build.

Avoid trying to cover in one wet coat, because heavy application can cause runs, sagging, uneven sheen, or a muddy looking finish. For the most consistent result, spray at a steady distance, maintain the same speed across the part, and allow each coat to flash before adding the next one.

Behr 5740 Rawhide in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint is useful for parts that are awkward, small, or easier to coat by spraying than brushing. Common examples include trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and removable components.

It is especially practical when you need a repeatable color on metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated items and want the part to coordinate with a known paint-brand color reference. If the item has edges, vents, grilles, or mixed shapes, spray application can be more efficient than using a brush or roller.

Finish changes how Behr 5740 Rawhide reflects light, and that can change how the color reads on the finished item. The color reference does not by itself define sheen, so a gloss, satin, or flatter finish can make the same matched color appear different on the surface.

If the part must blend with an existing painted surface, choose the finish carefully because the sheen difference can be more noticeable than the color itself. The color match is still based on Behr 5740 Rawhide, but the final appearance will also depend on substrate, texture, and application method.

A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but actual coverage for Behr 5740 Rawhide depends on the size of the part, texture, hiding power, and how many coats you need. Rough or porous surfaces usually use more paint than smooth ones.

If you are coating a larger project or a part with edges and recesses, plan extra material so you do not run short before the job is complete. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats are available too, and their coverage is different from spray paint.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Behr 5740 Rawhide enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish in any color in any sheen. It sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

The MyPerfectColor 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat. Keep in mind that it is difficult to gauge spray paint need as the coverage is highly dependent on how it is applied. Learn more about how spray paint works at MyPerfectColor.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Behr 5740 Rawhide in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

While we can provide Behr 5740 Rawhide in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another brand.

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