Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application

A match of Premier Paints T155-8 Gendarme reads as a dark, cool blue-gray with a muted slate cast and low chroma. It is not a bright blue; the color sits in a restrained, slightly blue-green direction that can look deeper or flatter depending on sheen and surface texture.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color reference can be used on vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, access covers, handrail brackets, mailbox hardware, shelving supports, window or gate parts, and PVC trim pieces where a subdued dark finish is needed on small, sprayable surfaces. It is also a practical choice for metal fixtures, camera housings, and removable components that need to coordinate with a known paint reference.

Because this is a deep, low-chroma color, finish and substrate preparation matter. Gloss levels can make the blue-gray read a little darker and highlight texture or seams, while flatter finishes soften that effect. On lighter or uneven substrates, more than one coat may be needed for even coverage and for the color to read consistently across the part.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Premier Paints™ T155-8 Gendarme *

What sheen should I choose for T155-8 Gendarme when ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Pick the sheen based on how the item will be used, not just on the color name. Lower-sheen finishes usually hide surface imperfections better, while higher-sheen finishes are easier to wipe clean and can give the part a harder-wearing look.

Keep in mind that T155-8 Gendarme can read a little differently as sheen changes. If you need the best balance of durability, cleanup, and color accuracy on the finished item, choose the sheen that fits the surface and how it will be handled.

How long does MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to T155-8 Gendarme take to dry, recoat, and fully cure?

For a custom spray paint match of T155-8 Gendarme, expect it to be dry to the touch within minutes. Recoat timing is typically 1 to 2 hours, and full cure is about 2 weeks.

Dry to the touch does not mean the coating is ready for hard use, so handle the part carefully until it has had time to cure fully.

Can T155-8 Gendarme be ordered in spray paint for switch covers, knobs, vents, or speaker grilles?

Yes. A match of Premier Paints T155-8 Gendarme can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for small parts and hardware where a smooth spray finish is the goal. That includes items like switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, and trim pieces.

Spray paint is often the practical choice for removable or awkward parts because it can produce a more even finish than brushing on detailed surfaces.

How do I confirm I am ordering the right T155-8 Gendarme color before I buy?

Confirm T155-8 Gendarme from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference from Premier Paints before ordering. Screen images can vary by device, lighting, and display settings, so they are not the safest way to approve the color.

MyPerfectColor matches the selected brand color reference, so checking the target color first helps reduce the risk of ordering a match to the wrong shade.

Can T155-8 Gendarme be used on plastic parts, and what should I do before ordering?

Plastics vary a lot, so it is smart to test T155-8 Gendarme on the actual material before doing the full project. MyPerfectColor spray paint can stick well to many plastics, but surface prep matters and some plastics need extra help for reliable adhesion.

Using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult substrates. If the part is a low-energy plastic or an unfamiliar material, a test application is the safest way to check how the finish will bond and look.
