Match of Porter Paints™ 7102-1 Smoky Blue *

For 7102-1 Smoky Blue in spray paint, expect it to be dry to the touch within minutes, ready for recoating in about 1 to 2 hours, and fully cured in about 2 weeks.

Do not treat dry to the touch as fully ready for hard handling or reassembly. If the part will be stacked, installed, or put back into service, give the coating enough time to cure before stressing it.

Before applying 7102-1 Smoky Blue, clean the surface, remove grease or residue, and lightly scuff the area when the substrate calls for it. Mask off any areas you do not want coated.

For the best decision on a larger job, test the MyPerfectColor match on the actual surface first. That helps confirm adhesion and lets you check how the color reads on that material before committing to the full project.

Confirm 7102-1 Smoky Blue from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference, not from a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the original brand color standard, so the target color should be verified before you place the order.

If you are matching a part, fixture, or sample, compare it to the brand reference you trust first. That reduces the risk of ordering a match for the wrong version of Smoky Blue.

Coverage for 7102-1 Smoky Blue 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, while other paints commonly cover about 400 to 600 square feet.

If the surface is rough, porous, dark, or likely to need extra coats, plan for more material than a simple area estimate suggests. That helps avoid stopping short in the middle of the job.

Yes, 7102-1 Smoky Blue can be used on many plastics, but plastics vary widely and some surfaces need different prep or primer choices. Test the MyPerfectColor match on the actual material before starting the full project.

MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion when the surface is especially difficult or the bond needs extra help.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Porter Paints 7102-1 Smoky Blue 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 Porter Paints 7102-1 Smoky Blue, 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.
