Match of Para Paints™ B898-1 Butterfly Blue *

For B898-1 Butterfly Blue, dry-to-touch, recoat time, and full handling readiness are different stages. In typical spray application, the coating can be dry to the touch within minutes, should be recoated in about 1 to 2 hours, and reaches full cure in about 2 weeks.

If you are coating small parts, trim, vents, or hardware, do not assume that a surface that feels dry is ready for assembly or heavy handling. Leave enough time between coats and before use so the finish can harden properly.

Confirm B898-1 Butterfly Blue from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference from Para Paints, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor makes a custom-matched paint to the selected brand color reference, so the color should be verified before you place the order.

This matters most when the paint will be used on a visible part, removable component, or a project that has to coordinate with an existing brand color. The code by itself does not define sheen, product line, or how an aged surface will look after repainting.

Choose the finish for B898-1 Butterfly Blue based on how the part will be used, cleaned, and viewed. Higher gloss finishes usually reflect more light and can be easier to wipe clean, while lower gloss finishes reduce reflection but may show less surface detail differently.

Because gloss level changes how the matched color reads on the finished item, the best choice depends on the object itself, such as a vent, fixture, hardware piece, or other coated part. If you need consistent appearance across multiple pieces, keep the finish the same for all of them.

Not always. Once B898-1 Butterfly Blue is applied, lighting, placement, sheen, substrate texture, and nearby surfaces can change how the color reads on the finished item.

This is important for items like grilles, covers, pipes, railings, or other parts that sit next to existing painted surfaces. If the project is very visible, evaluate the match in the same lighting where the item will be used, because the applied coating may read differently than the original reference did.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and its chemistry, not to the B898-1 Butterfly Blue color name alone. If you need the safety information for the product you are ordering, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the correct SDS.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Para Paints B898-1 Butterfly Blue, 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.
