Match of Pratt and Lambert™ 2287 Char Brown *

Yes, but surface prep matters. Clean the metal or existing coating first, remove rust, dust, oil, wax, and other contamination, then scuff the surface so the paint has a better grip.

If the old coating is glossy, textured, damaged, or poorly bonded, the finished look of a match of 2287 Char Brown can change even if the color formula is correct. A sound, evenly prepared surface gives the most predictable result.

No. The same color reference can read differently in matte, satin, semigloss, or gloss because the finish changes how light reflects off the surface.

If you need a match of 2287 Char Brown to line up with an existing item, try to keep the sheen as close as possible to the surface you are coating. If you change the finish, expect the color to look different even when the color match is correct.

Confirm the exact color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity before you place the order. A match of 2287 Char Brown is custom made, so the order details need to be right the first time.

Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is worth checking the brand name, color code, and finish before you buy.

Use light, even coats and keep the spray moving so the film builds gradually. Hold a consistent distance, overlap each pass, and avoid stopping in one spot.

Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, and a muddy looking build of color. Let each coat dry according to the product instructions before adding the next coat.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product or chemistry you order, not to the color name alone. That means you should look up the SDS for the specific MyPerfectColor paint format you are buying.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Pratt and Lambert 2287 Char Brown, 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.
