A match of Solver 1081 Ferric Red is a deep, warm red-brown with an earthy cast. The color sits in the darker range, and the red side of the undertone keeps it from reading as a plain brown or charcoal.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 1081 Ferric Red can be used on metal brackets, railings, vent covers, switch plates, speaker grilles, mailbox parts, shelving hardware, and small trim pieces. It is also a practical match for PVC, wood, plastic, and previously coated components when the part can be properly prepared for spray application.
As a dark, fairly saturated color, 1081 Ferric Red can make surface texture, edge wear, and sheen differences more noticeable once applied. Coverage on prepared surfaces is usually manageable, but finish, substrate color, and film build can shift how brown or red the result appears.

A match of Solver 1081 Ferric Red can look different after application depending on lighting, sheen, placement, and the surfaces around it. A MyPerfectColor match is made to the selected color reference, but the finished part can still read lighter, darker, warmer, or flatter once it is on your actual item.
If this color is going on a fixture, trim piece, pipe, vent, or removable part, check it in the same lighting where the item will be used. That is the best way to judge the final appearance of a match of 1081 Ferric Red on the real surface.
Before ordering 1081 Ferric Red, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity you need. MyPerfectColor is making its own custom-matched paint to the selected color reference, not selling the original Solver paint product.
Custom color orders should be chosen carefully because made-to-order color matches are not returnable or refundable. If you are matching 1081 Ferric Red to a part, fixture, or accessory, make sure the reference you selected is the one you want before you place the order.
Coverage depends on the size of the surface, the texture, the hiding power needed, the application method, and how many coats you plan to apply. For 1081 Ferric Red, quantity planning should start with the actual square footage of the item or area you want to coat.
A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, depending on the product and surface. If 1081 Ferric Red is going on a rough, porous, or dark substrate, plan for more material than you would need on a smooth, light surface.
Primer needs depend on the substrate, the condition of the surface, and the paint type you are using with 1081 Ferric Red. As a rule of thumb, primer never hurts and can improve adhesion, but it is not always required.
For the best result, follow the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product you order. If the surface is worn, uneven, glossy, or difficult to bond to, primer can help make the final match of 1081 Ferric Red more reliable.
Plastics and other low-energy surfaces can vary a lot, so test 1081 Ferric Red on the actual material before coating the full part. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but prep and adhesion can still differ by substrate.
If you are painting a plastic trim piece, cover, grille, or similar item, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel to improve adhesion when needed. That extra prep step can make a match of 1081 Ferric Red more dependable on difficult surfaces.
