Match of Pratt and Lambert™ 1739 Shantung *

Coverage for a match of 1739 Shantung depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. As a general planning guide, a typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet per coat.

If you are coating a light color like 1739 Shantung over a darker or uneven surface, plan for the possibility of extra coats. For the safest order, measure the parts you are painting and buy enough to finish the entire job in the same batch.

Confirm 1739 Shantung from a physical swatch, a known existing painted sample, or another reliable original-brand color reference before you order. Screen viewing alone is not enough to verify the target color.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected Pratt and Lambert color reference, so the best way to avoid ordering the wrong product is to verify that 1739 Shantung is the exact color you want before checkout. The code by itself does not define sheen, product line, or how an aged surface will look.

Yes. A match of 1739 Shantung in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint can be practical for small parts like switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, and similar items where a spray finish is easier to apply evenly.

For these smaller parts, remove the item if possible, clean it well, and apply light coats so the finish builds evenly. This helps the final color read more consistently on the finished piece.

Plastics vary widely, so a match of 1739 Shantung may need different prep or primer depending on the exact material. MyPerfectColor spray paint adheres well to most plastics, but testing on the actual part is still important because some plastics are harder to coat than others.

Using the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel can help improve adhesion on difficult surfaces. If the part is a low-energy plastic or an unfamiliar substrate, test a small area first before painting the whole item.

Before ordering a custom match of 1739 Shantung, confirm the brand color reference, the product format you need, the sheen, and the quantity. This matters because custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable.

It is also important to choose the right MyPerfectColor product for your project, such as spray paint for small parts or another format for larger surfaces. Verifying those details up front helps avoid ordering a match of 1739 Shantung in the wrong form or amount.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Pratt and Lambert 1739 Shantung 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.

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 Pratt and Lambert 1739 Shantung, 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.
