Match of Pratt and Lambert™ 2039 Cafe Gray *

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product made to match 2039 Cafe Gray, not to the brand color name alone. You can find the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm. Use the SDS for the actual MyPerfectColor coating you are ordering if you need handling or compliance details.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 2039 Cafe Gray is a practical choice for small or awkward items that are easier to spray than brush, such as trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, and accessories. It is also useful when you need several separate parts to share the same matched color.

If the item is removable or has edges, recesses, or a lot of detail, a spray format is often easier to apply evenly than a brush-applied coating.

Plastics vary widely, so test 2039 Cafe Gray on the actual part before painting the finished item. MyPerfectColor spray paint adheres well to most plastics, but the best prep can depend on the specific material and its surface condition.

If you want better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/en/product/995031-Primer-for-Acrylic-Enamel/. That is the safer choice for unfamiliar or low-energy surfaces than assuming one prep method will work on every plastic.

Apply 2039 Cafe Gray in light, even coats rather than trying to cover the part in one heavy pass. Keep your spraying distance and motion consistent, and overlap each pass enough to build the color gradually.

Heavy spraying can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking build. If the first coat looks thin, let it dry as directed and add another controlled coat instead of forcing coverage all at once.

Choose the finish for 2039 Cafe Gray based on how the item will be used and cleaned. A higher-gloss finish usually reflects more light and can make the same color match read differently than a flatter finish.

A flatter finish can reduce the look of minor surface variation, while a glossier finish may be easier to wipe clean on handled parts. If the part needs to blend with other coated pieces, match the sheen to the rest of the item as closely as possible.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Pratt and Lambert 2039 Cafe Gray 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 Pratt and Lambert 2039 Cafe Gray, 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.
