Match of Behr™ P-78 Sunrise *

Confirm Behr P-78 Sunrise from a physical swatch, an original brand color reference, or a known existing painted sample before placing the order. MyPerfectColor matches to the selected brand color reference, so the target color needs to be verified first. Screen viewing alone can be unreliable, especially if the color will be used on a part that has to coordinate with an existing finish.

If you already have a confirmed P-78 Sunrise reference, you can order MyPerfectColor paint matched to that color for items such as trim pieces, fixtures, hardware, or other small parts where a custom-matched finish is needed.

For metal or a previously coated surface, clean off dirt, grease, and loose material before painting. If the surface is sound, a light scuff can help the new coating grip better. If you see rust, flaking paint, contamination, or a failing old coating, address that first because those conditions can affect both adhesion and the final look of a match of Behr P-78 Sunrise.

Gloss, texture, and the condition of the old coating can change how the finished color reads after application. That matters on items like railings, brackets, vents, switch covers, and other parts where spray application is practical and the finished surface will be seen up close.

It should match the Behr P-78 Sunrise reference, but the finished appearance can still shift based on lighting, placement, sheen, texture, and nearby surfaces. A color that looks one way in a garage or shop can read a bit differently once it is on a wall fixture, pipe, grille, or other installed part.

If the part will sit next to an existing painted surface, expect the surrounding finish to influence how the match is perceived. This is normal for any custom-matched paint and is one reason to consider the final location when deciding whether the item needs a test application or a full refinish.

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used and how much reflectivity you want. Lower gloss finishes usually hide small surface irregularities better, while higher gloss finishes can be easier to wipe clean and may show more shine. The selected sheen also changes how a match of Behr P-78 Sunrise looks once it is applied.

If you are painting hardware, covers, fixtures, or removable parts, think about durability, cleanup, and how close the new finish needs to be to the surrounding surface. The color match and the sheen are separate decisions, so make sure both fit the project before ordering.

Coverage depends on the size of the part, the texture of the surface, the application method, how well the substrate hides, and how many coats are needed. For spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, depending on the product and surface conditions.

If you are painting small items such as vents, mailboxes, pipe, brackets, or other accessories, it is often better to plan by part count rather than by square footage alone. More coats may be needed if the surface is rough, darker than the target, or otherwise hard to cover evenly.

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 P-78 Sunrise 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 P-78 Sunrise 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 P-78 Sunrise 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.
