Match of Pratt and Lambert™ 1723 Ale *

MyPerfectColor can make a custom match of Pratt and Lambert 1723 Ale, but custom-made color orders should be checked carefully before you buy. Confirm the brand color reference, the product format you need, the sheen, and the quantity so you are ordering the right match for your project.

Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so make sure 1723 Ale is the correct target before you place the order. This is especially important when you are coating a removable part, a fixture, or a small item where a wrong choice would be costly to replace.

A match of Pratt and Lambert 1723 Ale can be ordered as MyPerfectColor spray paint for plastic parts, but plastics vary a lot, so test on the actual item first. Use proper cleaning and, for better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel before painting difficult plastic surfaces.

This is especially important on items like PVC pipe, vents, grilles, switch covers, or other molded parts where the surface can be slick or low-energy. A test patch helps confirm adhesion and coverage before you finish the full piece.

The finish you choose for a match of Pratt and Lambert 1723 Ale changes how the color reads after application. Higher gloss reflects more light and can make the same color look brighter or deeper than a flatter finish, while lower sheen reduces reflectivity.

If you are coating a part that will sit near an existing painted surface, choose the sheen with care because the same 1723 Ale color can look different once it is sprayed onto metal, plastic, wood, or another substrate.

For Pratt and Lambert 1723 Ale on metal or over an existing coating, clean the surface first, remove rust or contamination, and scuff glossy areas so the new coating can bond. The condition of the old finish, including gloss and texture, can affect how the matched color appears after spraying.

If the old coating is damaged, uneven, or unknown, test a small area before painting the whole part. That is especially useful for fixtures, brackets, rails, and other parts where the final surface will be close to other finished items.

When ordering a match of Pratt and Lambert 1723 Ale, choose the sheen based on how the part will be used and how much reflectivity you want on the finished item. Glossier finishes are usually easier to wipe down, while flatter finishes hide surface irregularity better.

Because sheen changes the way 1723 Ale looks, match the finish to the object you are painting, not just the color name. For example, a small accessory, hardware piece, or exposed fixture may need a different sheen than a larger coated panel.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Pratt and Lambert 1723 Ale, 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.
