Match of Pratt and Lambert™ 1671 Flaxseed *

Yes, but the surface condition matters. Before applying a match of 1671 Flaxseed, clean the metal or old coating to remove dirt, oil, wax, and any loose material. If the surface has rust, peeling paint, or contamination, those problems can affect adhesion and the final look.

The code identifies the color reference, not the prep needed for the job. Gloss, texture, and the condition of the existing coating can change how the finished item reads even when the color match is correct. If the old finish is glossy or slick, scuffing and proper prep are important before ordering or applying a custom match.

The right sheen depends on how the item will be used and how much reflectivity you want on the finished surface. Sheen affects durability, cleanup, and how much light the coating reflects, so the same 1671 Flaxseed color can look different in matte, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss finishes.

MyPerfectColor matches the selected color reference, but the finish is a separate ordering choice. If you are trying to coordinate with an existing item, check the sheen of the surface you are matching so you do not end up with a color match that still looks different because of the finish.

Coverage depends on surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, but real-world coverage can be lower on rough, porous, dark, or uneven surfaces.

If you are ordering a match of 1671 Flaxseed for a small part, plan for extra material if the piece has edges, holes, texture, or needs more than one coat. When in doubt, order enough to handle prep coats and a final coat without stopping midway through the project.

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 1671 Flaxseed is useful for small parts where a smooth spray finish is practical, such as switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, and trim pieces.

For these items, the main decision is usually format and prep, not color name alone. Make sure the part can be removed or masked properly, and choose the product format that fits the object shape and the finish you need.

Before ordering, confirm the exact color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need. A custom-made match of 1671 Flaxseed is made to your selected reference, so the order should be checked carefully before you submit it.

Custom color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to verify that you want MyPerfectColor paint matched to the selected brand color and not the referenced brand's original paint product. If the item will be used next to an existing surface, also confirm that the finish and substrate are appropriate for the project.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Pratt and Lambert 1671 Flaxseed 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 1671 Flaxseed, 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.
