A match of Sico 4038-73 True Blue is a deep, cool blue with a green-cyan lean rather than a red or violet one. The low LRV gives it a dark, substantial look, and the color reads more restrained than bright.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on railings, vent covers, switch plates, speaker grilles, mailbox parts, shutters, brackets, and painted PVC where a dark blue match is needed on small or removable pieces. It also works for hardware, display components, and equipment housings that need a consistent blue finish on metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated parts after proper prep.

Because this is a dark, moderately saturated color, surface condition and film build can change how even it looks. Thin coverage can leave lighter or patchy areas showing through, and gloss or satin finishes will make texture, seams, and repair edges more noticeable than flatter finishes.

On exterior or high-wear parts, the color can shift slightly as the sheen and surface age change. Careful preparation and consistent application help keep the result reading as a solid cool blue instead of a lighter or grayer version of the reference.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Sico™ 4038-73 True Blue *

How should I confirm Sico 4038-73 True Blue before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm 4038-73 True Blue from a physical swatch, an approved sample, or a known existing painted reference from the original brand. Screen images can shift with lighting and device settings, so they are not a reliable way to approve the color.

MyPerfectColor makes a match of the selected brand color reference, so the best ordering decision is based on the actual target color you want matched, not just how 4038-73 True Blue looks on a monitor.

What should I know before placing a custom order for Sico 4038-73 True Blue?

Because a MyPerfectColor order for 4038-73 True Blue is custom made, check the color reference, product format, sheen, and quantity before you submit the order. Once the paint is made to your selected reference, it is not a standard off-the-shelf stock item.

If you are matching 4038-73 True Blue for a specific project part, make sure the reference you selected is the one you actually want reproduced in MyPerfectColor paint.

How should I apply Sico 4038-73 True Blue in MyPerfectColor spray paint for smoother results?

For 4038-73 True Blue, apply several light, even coats instead of one heavy coat. Keep the spray moving, overlap passes slightly, and avoid loading the surface so heavily that the paint runs or the sheen builds unevenly.

Light coats usually give better control on small parts, trim pieces, vents, hardware, and other items where a matched color needs to look even after it dries. Follow the can directions for flash times and recoat timing between coats.

How does finish affect the look of Sico 4038-73 True Blue after it is painted?

Finish changes how 4038-73 True Blue reflects light, so the same color can look different in matte, satin, or glossier coatings. The color match is still based on the selected reference, but the final appearance on the object depends on sheen, surface texture, and substrate.

If you are matching an existing painted item, choose the finish that best fits the reference surface, not just the color name. Sheen is a practical ordering choice because it can change how the matched paint reads after application.

Can I use Sico 4038-73 True Blue on plastic parts, and what prep is needed?

Yes, 4038-73 True Blue can be used on many plastic parts, but plastics vary a lot, so test on the actual material first. Surface prep matters because some plastics and low-energy surfaces are harder for paint to grip.

MyPerfectColor spray paint is intended to stick well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult surfaces. Clean the part well, prepare it for coating, and verify adhesion on a test area before painting the final piece.
