Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application

A match of Behr PPOC-51 Quasar is a soft, cool blue-gray with a medium-light value and low chroma. The blue reads calm and restrained rather than vivid, and the gray cast keeps the color from looking overly bright or clean.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Behr color reference is useful when you need PPOC-51 Quasar on sprayable parts such as vents, speaker grilles, switch covers, PVC pipe, mailbox hardware, railings, brackets, shelving supports, and small fixture components. It can also be used on baskets, frames, and furniture accents where a coordinated blue-gray finish is needed on a separate part, not a wall.

Because this is a muted color, it often lays down with steady coverage, but the final look still depends on the substrate, surface texture, and finish. A glossier finish can make the blue appear cleaner and slightly deeper, while a flatter finish can push it grayer. On dark or uneven surfaces, thin, even coats are usually more reliable than trying to cover in one pass.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Behr™ PPOC-51 Quasar *

How do I confirm PPOC-51 Quasar by Behr before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm PPOC-51 Quasar by Behr from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference, not from a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor makes a match of PPOC-51 Quasar in its own paint, so the target color should be verified before you order.

If you are matching a part that is already painted, keep in mind that aged coatings, fading, and different sheens can make the existing surface read differently from the original color reference.

Can I apply PPOC-51 Quasar by Behr on metal or over an existing coating with MyPerfectColor paint?

Yes, but the surface needs proper prep first. Clean off dirt, oil, wax, loose paint, and rust, then scuff smooth or glossy areas so the coating can bond better. The condition of the old coating, along with its gloss and texture, can affect how a match of PPOC-51 Quasar looks after it is applied.

For small parts like hardware, vents, grilles, railings, or fixtures, a test application is a practical way to check adhesion and appearance before coating the full item.

How much PPOC-51 Quasar by Behr do I need for a project in MyPerfectColor paint?

Coverage depends on the size of the item, the surface texture, how much the substrate absorbs, the spray method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. If you are ordering a non-spray format, other paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet per gallon.

For items like shutters, mailboxes, vents, brackets, or trim pieces, it is best to total the actual painted area and plan for extra material if the surface is rough or if more than one coat will be needed.

Why does PPOC-51 Quasar by Behr look different after MyPerfectColor applies it?

Lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces can change how PPOC-51 Quasar reads after it is applied. A match that looks right on a sample can still appear different on a finished part once it is installed under indoor light, outdoor light, or next to another painted surface.

This is especially important for metal fixtures, plastic covers, speaker grilles, access panels, and other small parts that sit near existing coatings. If the item will be placed beside an older painted surface, the age and condition of that surface can also affect the final look.

Where do I find the SDS for PPOC-51 Quasar by Behr when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product or chemistry, not the PPOC-51 Quasar color name by itself. You can find the Safety Data Sheets page at https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

Check the SDS for the exact product format you plan to order, such as spray paint or another MyPerfectColor coating, because the safety information applies to the finished product rather than the brand color reference alone.

Does Behr paint color Behr PPOC-51 Quasar need primer?
MyPerfectColor doesn't sell Behr paint, but it does match the Behr PPOC-51 Quasar and all the other Behr colors in a wide variety of paint types. The need for primer depends on the specific paint and the substrate being painted. The top quality paints these days tend to be self-priming over most surfaces, while paint at the mid to lower grade quality levels will need a separate primer. Most special situations such as bleeding type woods or difficult to adhere surfaces like plastic will often need a specialty primer. Contact MyPerfectColor support if you have specific questions about the best paint to use for your project and whether you need a primer.

How do I convert Behr PPOC-51 Quasar to a different color from another paint company?

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.
