Match of Ace™ 98-E Kimberly *

Primer may help a match of Ace 98-E Kimberly, but it is not always required. The need depends on the substrate, its condition, and the paint type you are ordering. Bare, glossy, porous, damaged, or hard-to-stick surfaces usually benefit from primer, while a sound existing coating may not need it if the product instructions allow direct application. When you want the best adhesion and the least risk of show-through, primer is a safe choice.

Plastic can be painted, but it varies a lot by type and surface energy, so test the actual part first. MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Ace 98-E Kimberly sticks well to many plastics, but adhesion is usually more reliable if you use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel before painting. If the plastic is flexible, heavily molded, textured, or unknown, a test spot is the best way to confirm prep and adhesion before you finish the full item.

If you want to reduce risk, use the primer product designed for the coating system and follow the prep steps for the exact surface you are painting.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product or chemistry you are ordering, not the Ace 98-E Kimberly color name by itself. You can review the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm. Check the SDS for the exact format you plan to buy, since safety details can differ by product type.

Use light, even coats when applying a match of Ace 98-E Kimberly. Hold the can at a consistent distance, overlap each pass slightly, and avoid heavy spraying that can cause runs, uneven sheen, or color build-up that looks muddy. Several thin coats usually produce a cleaner result than one wet coat, especially on small parts, fixtures, or other detailed items.

Let each coat flash off according to the product directions before adding the next coat. That helps the finish level out and reduces the chance of defects.

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used and what the target surface looks like. A match of Ace 98-E Kimberly in gloss, satin, or matte can all be correct in color, but the sheen changes how reflective the surface looks and can make the same color read differently after it dries. If you are matching an existing part, try to match the current sheen as closely as possible, because gloss differences are often more noticeable than small color differences.

If durability and cleanability matter, a glossier finish may be easier to wipe down. If you want less reflectivity, a lower sheen can be more forgiving on surface flaws.

While we can provide Ace 98-E Kimberly in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another brand.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the brand 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.
