Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application

Matched to the selected Premier Paints color reference, T160-8 Black Magic reads as a dark charcoal with a restrained cool cast. It is low in chroma, so it stays close to a neutral black-gray while showing a faint blue-violet bias in some lighting and finishes.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color is useful on vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, brackets, railings, mailbox hardware, shelving, and other small parts that benefit from a subdued dark finish. It can also be used on PVC, metal trim pieces, access panels, and removable fixtures where a consistent charcoal look is needed on sprayable surfaces.

Because this is a very dark color with a low LRV, coverage and surface condition matter. Thin spots, sanding marks, and uneven primer can show more readily than they would in a lighter color, and gloss level can change how cool or soft the finish reads. On lighter substrates, a uniform base coat can help keep the final color even and reduce contrast showing through.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Premier Paints™ T160-8 Black Magic *

How should I spray MyPerfectColor T160-8 Black Magic for a smoother result?

Use light, even passes instead of trying to cover in one heavy coat. Keep your passes consistent, overlap each pass slightly, and build the color gradually so T160-8 Black Magic dries more evenly on the part you are coating.

This matters most on small parts, trim, hardware, grilles, or other items where runs and uneven sheen are easy to see. Heavy coats can also make the finish look muddy or uneven, so a slower build is usually the safer choice.

Will T160-8 Black Magic look different if I order it in a different finish?

Yes. The same match of T160-8 Black Magic can read differently in matte, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss because the finish changes how much light the surface reflects.

If you are coating a part that sits next to an existing painted surface, choose a finish that fits the item and expect the appearance to shift if the sheen changes. The color reference stays the same, but the finished look can still change with gloss level.

What surface prep should I do before applying MyPerfectColor T160-8 Black Magic?

Start by cleaning the surface well, then remove grease, dust, and loose material before spraying T160-8 Black Magic. If the surface is smooth or glossy, a light scuff where appropriate can help the coating grab better.

Mask off nearby areas you do not want coated, and test the product on the actual item first if the substrate is unfamiliar. Good prep helps reduce adhesion problems and gives you a better read on how the matched color will look on that specific surface.

Can I use MyPerfectColor T160-8 Black Magic on plastic parts or other difficult surfaces?

Yes, but plastics can vary a lot, so do not assume every plastic will behave the same. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion when you are working on a plastic part or another low-energy surface.

For items like vents, covers, trim pieces, or other molded parts, test on the actual material before coating the full piece. That is the best way to check adhesion and make sure T160-8 Black Magic lays down the way you expect.

How do I choose the right sheen for MyPerfectColor T160-8 Black Magic?

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used, not just on the color name. A higher-sheen finish is usually easier to wipe clean, while a lower-sheen finish can reduce reflection and change how T160-8 Black Magic reads on the finished item.

If you are coating a handle, fixture, or other frequently handled part, think about durability and cleanup as well as appearance. The same color reference can look noticeably different once the sheen changes, so select the finish that fits the job before you order.
