Match of Rodda Paint™ 588 Pepper *

Yes, but surface condition matters. Clean metal first to remove dirt, oil, and loose rust. If you are painting over an existing coating, the old finish should be firmly attached, then cleaned and scuffed so the new coating can grip.

If the old surface is peeling, chalky, rusted, or contaminated, correct that first. The gloss and texture of the old coating can still change how a match of 588 Pepper looks after application, so test on the actual part if appearance is important.

Choose the sheen based on the job, not just the color. Higher gloss finishes are usually easier to wipe down and more reflective, while flatter finishes reduce reflection and can make the same match of 588 Pepper read differently on the finished item.

If the part must match something nearby, sheen matters because gloss level can change the appearance even when the color formula is the same. Pick the finish that fits the part, the surface, and how it will be used.

Spray paint is typically dry to the touch within minutes, but that is not the same as being ready for recoating or full handling. Plan on recoating in one to two hours.

For full cure, allow about two weeks. If the part will be handled, assembled, or put into service, wait for the coating to fully cure when possible.

Yes. Once the match of 588 Pepper is applied, lighting, sheen, placement, and nearby surfaces can all change how it reads on the finished item. A color that looked right in one setting can appear different in another, especially on small parts or items mounted next to existing finishes.

If the item will sit beside another painted surface, confirm the result on the actual substrate and in the intended lighting before finishing the whole project.

Plastics vary widely, so test the actual material before painting a final part. MyPerfectColor spray paint adheres well to most plastics, but prep and primer choice can still affect the result.

For better adhesion on difficult plastic surfaces, use the MyPerfectColor primer before applying a match of 588 Pepper. That helps reduce the risk of poor bonding on low-energy or hard-to-paint plastics.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Rodda Paint 588 Pepper 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.

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 Rodda Paint 588 Pepper, 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.
