Match of Glidden™ 79-08 *

The best sheen depends on how the item will be used and how much wear it will see. Lower-gloss finishes reflect less light and are usually less sensitive to surface imperfections, while higher-gloss finishes are easier to wipe clean and will make the color read more reflective. Because gloss changes the way Glidden 79-08 looks on the finished item, choose the sheen based on the application first, then order MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint in that finish.

Coverage depends on the size of the item, the surface texture, the hiding power needed, the application method, and how many coats you expect to apply. As a rough planning guide, a can of spray paint typically covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paints often cover about 400 to 600 square feet. If the surface is rough, porous, dark, or uneven, plan for more than the nominal coverage.

It should be a match of Glidden 79-08, but the finished appearance can still change with lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces. A color that looked right in hand or on screen can read differently once it is on a vertical part, in bright daylight, or next to other coated items. If the project is sensitive to appearance, judge the finish on the actual part in its final setting.

Custom color orders are made specifically for your selected reference, so you should confirm Glidden 79-08, the product type, the sheen, and the quantity before you place the order. These custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so ordering the wrong reference or finish can create a costly mistake. If there is any uncertainty, verify the target color and product details first.

Confirm Glidden 79-08 from a physical swatch from the original brand or from a known existing painted reference, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard, so the safest order is the one that has already been verified against the real color reference. That matters most when the new item has to coordinate with an existing painted surface or a known color target.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Glidden 79-08 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.

MyPerfectColor offers custom spray paint matched to Glidden 79-08 which enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish. It is difficult to gauge spray paint coverage because it depends on how you apply it and the amount of overspray, but generally the 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. This paint sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Glidden 79-08, 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.
