A match of Ace C17-5 Rich Caramel is a warm, medium-depth brown with a golden caramel cast and moderate saturation. It reads earthy rather than gray, with enough color to feel defined without pushing into a very dark or very bright range.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on PVC trim, railings, shutters, mailbox parts, vent covers, switch plates, shelf brackets, picture frames, cabinet pulls, speaker grilles, and other small fixtures where a warm brown finish is needed on metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces. It is also a practical choice for removable components and accessory pieces that need to carry the same color reference across different materials.

Because this is a medium-depth warm color, surface prep and sheen can change how caramel or brown it reads once sprayed. Smooth substrates usually show the color more evenly, while rough or patchy surfaces can make the finish look less uniform. On darker or uneven bases, more than one coat may be needed for consistent coverage, and glossier finishes can make sanding marks, texture, and substrate differences more noticeable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Ace™ C17-5 Rich Caramel *

Will C17-5 Rich Caramel look the same in matte and gloss when I order a MyPerfectColor match?

The color reference stays C17-5 Rich Caramel, but the finish can change how it reads after application. Matte and flat finishes reflect less light, while gloss reflects more light and can make the same match look deeper or brighter on the part. If you need the new coating to blend with an existing painted surface, choose the sheen that best matches that surface. MyPerfectColor supplies a custom-matched paint made to match C17-5 Rich Caramel, not Ace's original paint.

How much MyPerfectColor spray paint of C17-5 Rich Caramel should I order for my project?

As a planning starting point, a typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Actual coverage for C17-5 Rich Caramel depends on the size of the part, surface texture, how much the surface hides, your spray technique, and how many coats you need. If you are ordering another MyPerfectColor paint format instead of spray, coverage is typically about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon, but the same surface factors still apply. When in doubt, round up so you do not run short before the job is done.

What is the best way to spray C17-5 Rich Caramel for an even finish?

Apply C17-5 Rich Caramel in light, even coats rather than one heavy coat. Keep the spray moving, overlap each pass slightly, and avoid stopping in one spot, since heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking build. Let each coat dry as directed on the product label before adding the next one. Thin, controlled coats usually give better color control than trying to cover everything at once.

Can C17-5 Rich Caramel be used on plastic, and do I need primer?

Yes, but plastics vary widely, so test C17-5 Rich Caramel on the actual part before painting the full item. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion when the surface is slick or difficult. If the plastic type is unknown, a test spot is the safest way to confirm prep and adhesion before you commit to the full project.

What prep is needed before painting metal with C17-5 Rich Caramel over an existing coating?

Clean the metal first to remove grease, dust, wax, and other contamination, then scuff the surface so the new coating can bond. If the old finish is peeling, chalky, or rusted, remove the loose material before applying C17-5 Rich Caramel. The gloss, texture, and condition of the existing coating can change how the matched color reads after it dries, so a small test area is a practical check before coating the whole part.
