A match of Richard's Paint 2747-A Borealis is a medium-depth teal green with a cool blue-green cast and moderate saturation. Its lower LRV gives it a denser look than a pale teal, while the color still reads clearly instead of settling into a muted neutral.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Richard's Paint color reference is useful for small or removable parts that need this teal-green finish. It can be a practical choice for vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailboxes, shutters, shelving, frames, knobs, and other metal, plastic, wood, or coated pieces where spray application can cover edges, corners, and contours more evenly than brushing.
Because this is a moderately saturated mid-tone color, coverage can vary with the substrate. Dark, uneven, or patched surfaces may show through more readily than they would with a lighter color, so surface preparation and film build matter. Finish also changes the reading of the color: glossier applications can make it look deeper and can make texture or surface variation more noticeable.
For exterior parts, consistent prep and application help maintain a stable reading of the color over time. MyPerfectColor supplies its own paint matched to the selected brand color reference, not Richard's Paint original product, so the result is a custom match for your project rather than a factory can from the brand.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Richard's Paint™ 2747-A Borealis *
Can I apply 2747-A Borealis by Richard's Paint over metal or an existing coating?
Yes, but the result depends on the condition of the metal or old coating. Clean off dirt, oil, wax, and chalk, remove loose rust or peeling paint, and scuff glossy surfaces so the new coating can bond better.
If the existing finish is sound but glossy or textured, a match of 2747-A Borealis from MyPerfectColor can still look different after application because the old surface can change how the color and sheen read. Test a small area first when the item will sit next to an older painted part.
Will 2747-A Borealis by Richard's Paint look the same in matte and gloss finishes?
No. The same color code can read differently in matte versus gloss because the finish changes how much light is reflected and how deep the color appears.
If you are matching an existing item, try to keep the sheen as close as possible to the target surface. A change in finish can make a MyPerfectColor match of 2747-A Borealis look different even when the color formula is correct.
What finish should I choose for 2747-A Borealis by Richard's Paint?
Choose the finish based on how the part will be used and what surface you need to match. Lower sheen finishes usually hide small surface flaws better, while higher sheen finishes are more reflective and are often easier to wipe clean.
If you are coating a part that will sit next to an existing painted surface, the best choice is usually the sheen that most closely matches that surface. The same match of 2747-A Borealis can look different once the finish changes.
How much 2747-A Borealis by Richard's Paint do I need for my project?
Coverage depends on the size of the project, surface texture, how much hiding is needed, the application method, and how many coats you expect to use.
If you are ordering MyPerfectColor spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet, depending on the product and surface. For rough, porous, or uneven surfaces, plan on extra material.
Can I use 2747-A Borealis by Richard's Paint on plastic or other difficult surfaces?
Yes, but plastics and other low-energy surfaces vary a lot, so testing on the actual material is important. Clean and prep the part carefully before painting.
MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can improve adhesion. For 2747-A Borealis on an unfamiliar plastic, a test sample is the safest way to confirm adhesion and appearance before coating the full item.
