Match of Rodda Paint™ 73 Kelpweed *

Confirm 73 Kelpweed from a physical swatch, a known existing painted sample, or another trusted brand color reference before you order. Screen images can shift with lighting and display settings, so they are not a reliable way to approve the target color.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, not the original Rodda Paint product. If you want the order to follow 73 Kelpweed, verify that your reference is the actual color you want matched before purchasing.

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the 73 Kelpweed color name by itself. For SDS information, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page here: MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets.

If you are choosing between formats, review the SDS for the specific MyPerfectColor paint product you plan to order so you are looking at the right safety information.

For 73 Kelpweed, apply light, even coats and keep a consistent spray distance so the film builds gradually instead of flooding the surface. Overlapping passes slightly helps reduce striping and patchy coverage.

Avoid heavy passes, because they can lead to runs, uneven sheen, or a darker, muddier look as the coating builds. On small parts, fixtures, or removable items, several thin coats are usually safer than one wet coat.

Before applying 73 Kelpweed, clean the surface, remove grease or residue, and mask off areas you do not want coated. If the surface is glossy or already painted, a light scuff may help the new coating grip better where that is appropriate for the substrate.

It is also smart to test the MyPerfectColor match on the actual surface before coating the full item, especially on plastic, metal, or previously finished parts. That helps you check adhesion, appearance, and whether the surface needs more prep.

No. The same 73 Kelpweed color can read differently in matte, satin, or gloss because the finish changes how light reflects off the surface. That means the color match may still be correct, but the finished appearance can look lighter, deeper, or more vivid depending on sheen.

If your project needs to sit next to an existing painted surface, choose the finish carefully because a sheen change can be just as noticeable as a color shift. MyPerfectColor matches the selected color reference, but the final look still depends on the finish you order and the surface you apply it to.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Rodda Paint 73 Kelpweed 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.

MyPerfectColor offers custom spray paint matched to Rodda Paint 73 Kelpweed which enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish. It is difficult to gauge spray paint coverage because it depends on how you apply it and the amount of overspray, but generally the 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. This paint sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Rodda Paint 73 Kelpweed, 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.
