Match of Alcoa™ Aspen Grey *

Yes, if you are repairing a factory-finished building material that was scratched, chipped, or marked during shipping, installation, field cutting, or service work, choose a product option that explicitly says Original Material Match. For direct touch up in this collection, that is the correct choice because it includes a sheen match.

MyPerfectColor makes a matched paint to Alcoa Aspen Grey, which is the right starting point for a small repair on trim coil, gutters, flashing, or related metal details.

The Alcoa Aspen Grey reference identifies the factory color, but an older installed surface can look different because of sun exposure, weathering, chalking, sheen change, texture, or batch variation. That means a correct color reference still may not blend invisibly with an aged part.

If you are matching beside an existing installed surface, compare against the current material condition when possible. A recent repair on the same factory-finished part is a better fit for Original Material Match than a weathered adjacent surface.

For direct touch up on factory-finished building materials, order only the product option that explicitly says Original Material Match. That is the format intended for touch-up work because it includes a sheen match.

Other MyPerfectColor formats such as spray paint, paint pens, brush-in-cap bottles, interior/exterior housepaint, urethane, or epoxy can still be color matched to Alcoa Aspen Grey, but they are better suited to separate parts, accessories, or broader repainting rather than direct touch up.

A match of Alcoa Aspen Grey is being used here as a trim coil color reference, so it is relevant to roofing and exterior metal details such as gutters, flashing, trim pieces, and adjacent accessories. It is a practical reference when you need a replacement part or a coordinated metal component to blend with nearby branded material.

If you are touching up the original factory-finished part after damage, use Original Material Match. If you are painting a separate part, use the Alcoa Aspen Grey reference to coordinate the new piece with the surrounding trim coil or metal detail.

To improve consistency, reorder by the exact color name, Alcoa Aspen Grey, and keep the product type the same from one part to the next. If the job is direct touch up, stay with Original Material Match so the sheen match remains consistent for that use case.

Final appearance still depends on substrate, prep, age of the surrounding material, and how the paint is applied. If multiple components must look alike, using the same reference and the same finish choice is the safest approach.

It depends. MyPerfectColor matches the color of the Alcoa Aspen Grey but may not match the sheen. If you see Custom Sheen as a sheen option, this means we also match the sheen of the material, otherwise you would need to pick the closest sheen available. However, keep in mind that our version of the Alcoa Aspen Grey is based on matching an official Alcoa color sample. The color and sheen of your specific Alcoa parts may vary. If your material is not new and has been exposed to the weather, then it is likely that the color has changed over time. MyPerfectColor samples not been exposed to sunlight and weather. If you need a touch up application, you may need to send us a part so we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

MyPerfectColor has the original Alcoa color samples. A sample of the Alcoa Aspen Grey you are looking for is in our library. We are able to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

Please note that if your existing materials are not new and you are trying to touch up, they will have aged and are likely different now than they were when new. MyPerfectColor will be sending paint matching the sample at our facility which has not aged the same as your materials and may also be different due to other factors such as variations in manufacturing processes. If your match is critical, you may consider sending a part of your materials for precise color matching. Learn more about our color matching services.
