Match of True Value™ Royal Mauve *

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so test the exact material before committing to a full order. MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Royal Mauve 2288 can work well on many plastics, and using MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on smooth or low-energy surfaces.

If the part is a new or unfamiliar plastic, do a small test on the actual item first. That is the safest way to confirm adhesion and appearance before painting the full piece.

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used, not just on the color name. Sheen changes how Royal Mauve 2288 reads after application: higher gloss usually reflects more light and is easier to clean, while flatter finishes reduce reflectivity and can make the color look softer.

If you are matching an existing painted item, try to match the sheen of that item as closely as possible. A color match in the wrong finish can still look off even when the formula is correct.

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. As a general guide, a typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paint formats often cover about 400 to 600 square feet.

If you are painting a rough, porous, or high-contrast surface, plan on additional material because coverage can drop quickly. For a better estimate, base your order on the real surface area and allow extra for test spraying and touch-ups.

Dry to touch, recoat time, and full cure are different stages. MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Royal Mauve 2288 is typically dry to touch within minutes, can usually be recoated in 1 to 2 hours, and reaches full cure in about two weeks.

Handle the part carefully until it has fully cured, especially if it will be stacked, installed, or cleaned soon after painting. If the piece needs to go into service quickly, build your schedule around the cure time, not just the dry-to-touch time.

Not always. Once a match of Royal Mauve 2288 is applied, placement, lighting, sheen, and nearby surfaces can change how the color reads on the finished item.

If the part will sit next to an existing painted surface, review it in the final location and lighting before approving a full run. That is the best way to reduce surprises when the new coating has to coordinate with something already in place.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the True Value Royal Mauve in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the True Value Royal Mauve, we don't provide any crossover information because this is a subjective determination. Every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, so determining which color is the best approximation is a judgement call.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Related Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the company you want.

Keep in mind that this just shows similar colors based on the color values we have stored in our database. It doesn't mean it is the same or give any approximation about how close the color is. You can play around with the Hue, Lightness and Chroma sliders to expand the selection.
