Match of Glidden™ 74-85 *

Confirm Glidden 74-85 from a physical swatch, fan deck chip, or another known color reference instead of relying on a screen view. MyPerfectColor matches to the selected brand color reference, so the most important ordering step is making sure Glidden 74-85 is the target you actually want.

If you are matching an existing item, compare it to the original reference under the lighting where the part will be used, then order the MyPerfectColor product in the format you need.

No. Finish changes how Glidden 74-85 reflects light, and that changes how the matched color reads on the finished item. The same color can look different in flat, satin, or gloss because sheen affects perceived color and surface reflectivity.

If the item needs to coordinate with an existing painted surface, choose the finish carefully as part of the order. The color reference is Glidden 74-85, but the finish still affects the final appearance.

For spray paint matched to Glidden 74-85, dry to touch is usually within minutes. Recoat time is typically 1 to 2 hours, and full cure is about 2 weeks.

Dry to touch does not mean the coating is fully ready for hard handling, stacking, or heavy use. If the part will go back into service quickly, plan around the recoat and cure times, not only the first dry stage.

Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so confirm Glidden 74-85, the MyPerfectColor product type, the finish, and the quantity before ordering. That is the safest way to avoid choosing the wrong custom match.

This matters most when you are ordering spray paint or another made-to-order format, because the product is prepared for that specific color reference and configuration.

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet.

For Glidden 74-85, measure the total area you plan to coat and decide whether you need one coat or more. That will give you a better quantity estimate than relying on surface area alone.

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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Glidden 74-85, 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.
