Match of Martha Stewart™ 8311 Cyanotype *

Once MyPerfectColor paint matched to 8311 Cyanotype is applied, lighting, sheen, placement, and nearby surfaces can change how it reads on the finished item. A color that looks right on a swatch can appear a bit different on a flat panel, a curved part, or a surface sitting beside an older painted area.

If the part will be viewed close to an existing surface, plan for some visual change from the surrounding materials and finish level. That is normal and is one reason the final installed appearance should be judged in the actual location, not only from the color reference alone.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product formulation, not to the 8311 Cyanotype color name by itself. To get the correct safety information, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the product you plan to order.

MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to 8311 Cyanotype can be used on many plastics, but plastic types vary a lot. Because of that, it is smart to test the paint on the actual plastic first if the part is important or hard to replace.

For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel before applying the color coat. Primer is especially helpful on difficult or low-energy plastic surfaces where paint adhesion can be less predictable.

Before applying 8311 Cyanotype to metal, clean the surface well and remove dust, grease, rust, and any loose material. If there is an existing coating, lightly scuff it so the new paint has a better surface to grip.

The condition of the old coating matters. Gloss, texture, wear, and contamination can all affect how the finished MyPerfectColor match looks. If the metal has rust or failing paint, address that first so the new coating is applied to a stable surface.

8311 Cyanotype in custom spray paint is useful for small or awkward parts where brushing is inefficient, such as trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and similar items. It is also practical for removable components that need to match a known color reference.

For these projects, the value is in getting MyPerfectColor paint matched to the selected 8311 Cyanotype reference in a format that is easier to apply evenly on detailed parts and nonstandard shapes.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Martha Stewart 8311 Cyanotype 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 MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart 8311 Cyanotype, 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.
