Match of Rodda Paint™ 445 Longfellow *

Before painting, clean the surface thoroughly, remove grease and dirt, and lightly scuff glossy or slick areas when appropriate so the coating has a better chance to bond. Test MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint on the actual surface first, especially on plastic, metal, or previously coated parts. Good prep matters because 445 Longfellow is a color reference, not a guarantee of adhesion on every substrate.

Once applied, a match of 445 Longfellow can read differently based on lighting, sheen, texture, film build, and nearby surfaces. The color reference stays the same, but the finished item may look lighter, darker, warmer, or cooler depending on the setting. If the piece will sit next to an existing painted surface, expect some visual differences from age and wear even when the match is correct.

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so test on the actual material before committing to the full project. MyPerfectColor spray paint usually adheres well to many plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult surfaces. If the plastic is flexible, slick, or unknown, prep and a test panel are the safest way to reduce adhesion risk.

This is often relevant for small removable parts such as vents, switch covers, grilles, fixtures, or other hardware where spray application is practical and color coordination matters more than repainting the whole item.

Confirm the target color from a physical swatch, labeled chip, or known existing reference from the original brand, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor matches to the selected brand color reference, so the most important decision is making sure 445 Longfellow is the exact color you want before you place the order. If the reference is uncertain, verify it first so you do not order the wrong match.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product formulation, not to the color name alone. Check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the SDS that matches the product you plan to order. If you are unsure which format you are using, confirm the exact MyPerfectColor product before relying on the safety document.

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 Rodda Paint 445 Longfellow, 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.
