Match of Rodda Paint™ 517 Regatta Blue *

Lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces can all change how a match of 517 Regatta Blue reads after it is applied. The color is matched to the selected brand reference, but the finished item may still look a little different in direct sun, indoor light, shade, or next to other materials.

If the part will be viewed beside an existing surface or in changing light, plan for that before you order. A standard match is best when you want MyPerfectColor paint matched to 517 Regatta Blue for the item itself, not a promise that it will look identical to an aged or differently finished surface next to it.

Before ordering 517 Regatta Blue, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need. Custom color orders are made to your selected reference, so choosing the wrong target can lead to a mismatch for your project.

MyPerfectColor custom-made matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is worth checking the color reference carefully before you submit the order. This is especially important when you need 517 Regatta Blue in a specific format for a small part, fixture, or removable component.

Plastics vary widely, so 517 Regatta Blue should be tested on the actual material before you commit to the full project. MyPerfectColor spray paint is often used on many plastic parts, but surface prep and the specific plastic can change adhesion results.

Using the MyPerfectColor primer can help improve adhesion on difficult surfaces. For the best decision, clean the part, prepare it for paint, and test a small area first if the plastic is unfamiliar or low energy.

Confirm 517 Regatta Blue from a physical swatch or another known existing brand reference, not from screen viewing alone. Screens can shift color, and MyPerfectColor matches to the selected brand color standard rather than to what a monitor shows.

If you are deciding whether the reference is correct, verify the original brand color first and then order the MyPerfectColor match. The code and name identify the target color, but they do not by themselves define sheen, product line, or how an existing painted surface will look.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the color name alone. If you need the safety data for 517 Regatta Blue in a specific MyPerfectColor format, check the product SDS rather than assuming one SDS covers every version.

MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets are available on the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page. Use the SDS for the exact product you plan to order so you are reviewing the right safety and handling information.

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 517 Regatta Blue, 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.
