A match of Sico 3216-32 Gris Ardoise is a medium-dark slate gray with a cool blue cast and very low saturation. It reads as a restrained gray rather than a bright blue, with the undertone becoming more noticeable in stronger light. Its LRV of 15.34 points to a fairly deep finish.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, railings, mailbox parts, PVC trim pieces, brackets, shelving supports, and other small metal, plastic, or wood components where a muted slate gray needs to coordinate with surrounding parts. It also works well for hardware, frame details, and access covers that benefit from a quiet, architectural look rather than a bright accent.

Because this color is low-chroma and relatively dark, it usually reads even and subdued, but the final appearance will still shift with sheen, substrate, and film build. Smooth glossy surfaces can make texture and prep marks more visible, and darker or uneven substrates may need more than one coat for consistent coverage. In exterior use, the color is generally less demanding than a vivid accent, though weathering and gloss loss can change how blue or gray it appears over time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Sico™ 3216-32 Gris Ardoise *

How much 3216-32 Gris Ardoise by Sico do I need for my project?

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of MyPerfectColor spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet, but the exact amount for 3216-32 Gris Ardoise will depend on your substrate and finish.

If you are coating a large or uneven surface, plan extra material so you do not run short before the job is complete.

Can I use 3216-32 Gris Ardoise by Sico on plastic parts?

Yes, but plastics vary widely, so test 3216-32 Gris Ardoise on the actual part before starting the full project. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but surface prep and the specific plastic type can change adhesion.

If you want better adhesion on a difficult plastic, use the MyPerfectColor primer made for acrylic enamel before applying the color coat.

What should I confirm before ordering 3216-32 Gris Ardoise by Sico as a custom MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity before you place the order. A custom-made match of 3216-32 Gris Ardoise is made to your selected color reference, so choosing the wrong reference or wrong format can lead to a result you do not want.
