A match of Premier Paints T168-8 Night Raven is a deep, muted charcoal with a subtle violet-plum cast. It reads dark and restrained rather than bright, with low chroma and a cool undertone that can look softer or deeper depending on the finish and substrate.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, hardware, mailbox parts, access panels, and other small sprayable items where a dark, subdued finish is needed. It is also a practical choice for metal or plastic components that need to coordinate with an existing painted piece without drawing attention.
Because this is a dark color, surface condition and sheen can affect the final look more than they do with lighter shades. Smooth prep helps keep the color even, and on glossy or satin work, seams, scratches, and texture changes may show more clearly. A solid base and full film build can help the color read consistently across different substrates.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Premier Paints™ T168-8 Night Raven *
What should I confirm before ordering T168-8 Night Raven from Premier Paints as a MyPerfectColor custom spray paint?
Because T168-8 Night Raven is made as a custom MyPerfectColor match, confirm the Premier Paints color code, product format, sheen, and quantity before you place the order. If any of those details are wrong, the paint may not suit the part you are coating, and custom-made color orders are not returnable or refundable.
How should I spray T168-8 Night Raven so the finish builds evenly?
For T168-8 Night Raven, apply several light, even coats instead of one heavy pass. Keep the can moving, overlap each pass slightly, and hold a consistent spray distance so the color builds smoothly and does not run or dry with uneven sheen.
If you are coating a small part, test the spray pattern on scrap first so you can see how the color lays down before you finish the actual piece.
Can T168-8 Night Raven be used on plastic parts, and do I need primer?
Plastics vary a lot, so test T168-8 Night Raven on the actual part before coating the full item. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion and reduce the chance of poor bonding or patchy coverage.
This is especially important on low-energy plastic parts and molded housings where surface prep can change the result.
What prep should I do before painting metal with T168-8 Night Raven?
Before applying T168-8 Night Raven to metal or over an existing coating, clean off oil, dust, and contamination, then scuff any glossy areas so the new coating can grip. Check for rust, peeling paint, or soft old coatings, since those problems can show through or cause adhesion failure.
The final look can also change with the old surface texture and sheen, so prep the part as consistently as possible before spraying.
Where do I find the SDS for T168-8 Night Raven by Premier Paints?
The SDS for T168-8 Night Raven depends on the exact MyPerfectColor product or chemistry you order, not the color name alone. Check the Safety Data Sheet for the specific MyPerfectColor paint format you are buying, since spray paint and other formats can have different SDS documents.
