Match of Samson™ 8-5 Pewter Grey *

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used and how much shine you want on the finished item. A glossier finish is usually easier to wipe clean and can be more durable, but it will also reflect more light, which can make 8-5 Pewter Grey read a little differently on the surface. A flatter finish reduces reflection, but it may be less forgiving to clean.

If you are coating a door, trim piece, fixture, or other removable part, pick the sheen that fits the surface and the wear level, not the color name alone. A match of Samson 8-5 Pewter Grey is the color reference; the finish is a separate ordering choice.

Start with a clean, dry surface. Remove dirt, oils, wax, and loose coating before spraying 8-5 Pewter Grey. If the surface is glossy or already painted, a light scuff can help the new coating bond better. Mask off areas you do not want painted and remove sanding dust before spraying.

For best results, test 8-5 Pewter Grey on the actual item or material first, especially if you are painting a part that will be handled often or has an unknown coating underneath. Good prep has a bigger impact on adhesion and final appearance than the color code alone.

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the Samson color name alone. To get the correct SDS for 8-5 Pewter Grey, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets for the exact product format you plan to order, such as spray paint or another matched product.

If you are comparing multiple product formats, do not assume they share the same SDS just because the color reference is the same. Use the SDS for the specific MyPerfectColor item you are buying.

Before ordering 8-5 Pewter Grey, confirm the Samson color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need. Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to verify the order details before you submit them.

If the new coating will sit next to an older painted surface, also think about surface condition, aging, and texture. Even when the color reference is correct, those factors can change how the finished part looks.

Many plastic parts can be painted with 8-5 Pewter Grey, but plastics vary a lot, so test on the actual material first. MyPerfectColor spray paint is designed to stick well to most plastics, but surface prep and the type of plastic can change the result.

If adhesion is important, use the MyPerfectColor primer before spraying to improve bonding. Clean the part well, let it dry, and spray a test area before coating the full item.

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

While we can provide Samson 8-5 Pewter Grey 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.
