Match of Porter Paints™ 6479-3 Celestial *

MyPerfectColor makes a custom-matched paint to the 6479-3 Celestial color reference, but the finished look can still change with lighting, sheen, surface texture, and nearby surfaces. The same color can read a little different on a wall, a small part, or a glossy versus matte item.

If you need the result to work beside an existing surface, test the match on the actual item or in the final location before finishing the whole project.

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 6479-3 Celestial is a practical option for small parts and hardware when you want a smooth finish on items like switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, knobs, and similar objects.

Spray application is usually the best fit when the part can be removed, masked, or painted evenly from multiple angles. For the best result, apply light coats rather than trying to cover heavily in one pass.

Start by cleaning the surface, removing grease, dust, and loose material. If the surface is sound and slightly glossy, a light scuff can help the coating bond better. Mask off areas you do not want painted, and test the product on the actual surface before painting the full piece.

Good prep matters because 6479-3 Celestial is a color match, but adhesion and final appearance still depend on the condition of the item you are painting.

Plastics vary a lot, so testing on the actual item is important. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but difficult or low-energy plastics may need primer to improve adhesion and reduce the chance of peeling or poor bond strength.

For better adhesion on challenging plastic surfaces, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel before applying 6479-3 Celestial. A test piece is the safest way to confirm compatibility before you coat the full part.

A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but actual coverage depends on surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. Rough or porous surfaces usually use more paint than smooth, sealed surfaces.

If you are coating multiple items or a larger part in 6479-3 Celestial, estimate your total square footage first and then plan for extra paint if the surface is dark, uneven, or likely to need more than one coat.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Porter Paints 6479-3 Celestial 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 Porter Paints 6479-3 Celestial, 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.
