Match of Sico™ 4197-31 Clay *

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product chemistry, not to the Sico 4197-31 Clay color name by itself. If you are ordering a MyPerfectColor match of Sico 4197-31 Clay, use the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor product format you plan to buy.

If you need the Safety Data Sheet before ordering, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the product you are considering.

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used and how much shine you want on the finished item. Higher gloss finishes are usually easier to clean and more durable in many applications, while flatter finishes reduce reflectivity and can make surface imperfections less noticeable.

Keep in mind that sheen changes how a match of Sico 4197-31 Clay looks after it is applied. If the item will sit near other painted surfaces, the finish can affect the final appearance as much as the color match itself.

Confirm Sico 4197-31 Clay from a physical swatch, an approved sample, or a known existing painted reference rather than from a screen. MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color standard, so the most important step is making sure the reference you want is the correct one before you order.

If the surface you are matching is aged, faded, or dirty, decide whether you want the original Sico 4197-31 Clay standard or the current look of the existing surface. Those are not always the same thing.

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so test on the actual part before painting the full item. Surface prep matters, and some plastics need more preparation than others for the coating to hold well.

MyPerfectColor spray paint can be used on many plastic items, and using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion. This is especially important when you are working with difficult or low-energy plastics.

Coverage depends on the size of the item, the texture of the surface, the hiding power needed, the application method, and how many coats you plan to apply. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

If you are coating a rough, porous, or darker surface, plan for additional product because you may need more than one coat to reach even coverage with a match of Sico 4197-31 Clay.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use.

The MyPerfectColor 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat. Keep in mind that it is difficult to gauge spray paint need as the coverage is highly dependent on how it is applied. Learn more about how spray paint works at MyPerfectColor.

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 we can provide Sico 4197-31 Clay in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another brand.

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