Match of Sears™ Aqua Blue *

Primer depends on the substrate, surface condition, and paint type. A compatible primer can improve adhesion, especially on bare, porous, glossy, repaired, or uneven surfaces. On plastics and other difficult materials, primer is often worth using because it helps reduce adhesion risk. If the product prep guidance for your specific item calls for primer, follow that guidance; if primer is optional, it still usually does not hurt when it is compatible with the topcoat.

No. The same Sears Aqua Blue (26049) color reference can look different in matte, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss because finish changes how light reflects off the surface. A flatter finish usually reads softer, while a glossier finish can make the color look deeper or slightly different. If you need the new coating to coordinate with an existing item, choose the finish that best matches that surface and, when possible, test first.

Yes, but plastic should be checked carefully because plastics vary a lot. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but testing on the actual material is important before committing to the full part. Clean the surface well, use the right prep steps for that plastic, and consider a compatible primer to improve adhesion. If the plastic is slick, flexible, or unknown, a test spray is the safest way to reduce risk.

Before ordering, confirm the Sears Aqua Blue (26049) reference, the MyPerfectColor product format you need, the sheen, and the quantity. Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to verify the details before you buy. If the item will sit next to an existing painted surface, consider the effect of age, texture, and finish because those factors can change how the match reads in real use.

Apply Sears Aqua Blue (26049) in light, even coats from the proper distance, and overlap each pass so the color builds evenly. Avoid heavy wet coats because they can run, dry unevenly, or change the final sheen. Let each coat flash off before the next one. Gradual build is especially important if you are covering a dark substrate or trying to get even coverage on a small part, fixture, or accessory.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Sears Aqua Blue in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

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. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. 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.

MyPerfectColor offers custom spray paint matched to Sears Aqua Blue which enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish. It is difficult to gauge spray paint coverage because it depends on how you apply it and the amount of overspray, but generally the 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. This paint sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sears Aqua Blue, 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.
