Match of Sico™ 4198-31 Fossil *

Finish can change how a match of Sico 4198-31 Fossil reads on the finished item. A flatter finish usually reflects less light, while a glossier finish reflects more light and can make the same color appear a bit different once applied.

If the part will sit near other painted surfaces, choose the sheen carefully because gloss level can affect whether the match looks consistent in the real setting. MyPerfectColor is supplying a custom match to the selected brand color, but the final appearance still depends on sheen, substrate, and application.

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 4198-31 Fossil is a practical option for baskets, frames, shelving, furniture accents, signs, and other small items where spray application makes sense.

This is a color match to the selected Sico reference, not the original Sico paint. For the best result, make sure the item is clean and suitable for spray application, and use primer if the material or existing finish needs it.

Clean the surface first so dust, grease, and loose material do not interfere with the coating. On metal, remove rust and corrosion before painting. On an existing coating, scuff glossy or hard finishes so the new coat can bond better.

The condition of the old coating can affect the final look of a match of Sico 4198-31 Fossil, especially if the surface is uneven, textured, or wearing differently in spots. If the substrate is unfamiliar or difficult, a test application is a good way to reduce risk before painting the full item.

Choose sheen based on how the item will be used, how durable the finish needs to be, and how much light reflection you want on the surface. Lower sheen options usually hide surface flaws better, while higher sheen options are easier to wipe clean and reflect more light.

Because sheen changes the way a match of 4198-31 Fossil looks after application, the same color can read differently in flat, satin, or gloss finishes. MyPerfectColor can supply the color match in the format that best fits the project, but the sheen should match the surface and use case, not just the color name.

Spray paint matched to Sico 4198-31 Fossil is typically dry to the touch within minutes, should be recoated in about 1 to 2 hours, and is fully cured in about two weeks.

Those are different stages of drying, so dry to the touch does not mean the coating is ready for full handling. If you need multiple coats for coverage, follow the recoat window so the finish can build properly on the item.

While we can provide Sico 4198-31 Fossil 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.
