Match of Home Hardware™ 3131 Celtic Lament *

For spray application, a match of 3131 Celtic Lament is typically dry to the touch within minutes, can usually be recoated in 1 to 2 hours, and is fully cured in about 2 weeks. Do not assume that dry to the touch means ready for hard handling, stacking, or installation. If the part will be handled between coats, wait until the film is dry enough to avoid lifting or marking.

Yes. The same match of 3131 Celtic Lament can look different in matte versus gloss because the finish changes how much light reflects off the surface and how deep the color appears. If the part needs to sit beside an existing painted item, keep the finish as close as possible to the existing surface when you can, since sheen differences can make the color read differently even when the color match itself is correct.

Coverage depends on the size of the part, surface texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. As a general planning guide, one can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Rough, porous, or dark surfaces can require more paint, and very light colors like a match of 3131 Celtic Lament may show contrast sooner over an uneven base. For larger projects, plan for test spray and extra material rather than assuming one can will finish the job.

Plastics vary widely, so it is smart to test on the actual material before coating the full part. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but a primer can improve adhesion, especially on low-energy or hard-to-bond surfaces. If the part is a vent, cover, fixture, grille, or other plastic component, the safest approach is to confirm adhesion on a small hidden area and use the MyPerfectColor primer when extra bonding support is needed.

Confirm 3131 Celtic Lament from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color standard, so the key decision is whether the target reference you are approving is truly 3131 Celtic Lament. The code by itself does not tell you sheen, product line, or how an aged painted surface may look, so use a physical reference when the ordering decision needs to be accurate.

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 Home Hardware 3131 Celtic Lament, 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.
