A match of Ace C45-4 Blue Willow is a medium-light blue-gray with a cool cast and low chroma. It reads as a quiet, softened blue rather than a bright or saturated one, and the gray content keeps it from feeling overly vivid. In MyPerfectColor custom spray paint, that kind of color typically gives a controlled, subdued finish on small parts and coated accessories.

It is well suited to spray-painted items such as HVAC vents, speaker grilles, switch covers, access panels, brackets, shelving hardware, mailboxes, railings, PVC trim pieces, and other removable fixtures. Because the color is restrained rather than loud, it can be used on parts that need to coordinate with existing painted surfaces without drawing extra attention to the object itself. It also works on metal, plastic, wood, and previously coated items when the surface is properly prepared.

Technically, a color this light and low-chroma can still show substrate contrast if coverage is thin, especially over darker or uneven bases. Even spray passes, good surface prep, and enough film build help keep the blue-gray reading consistent. Finish also affects the result: glossier sheens can make the cool tone and surface variation more noticeable, while flatter finishes usually read a little softer.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Ace™ C45-4 Blue Willow *

Where can I find the SDS for Ace C45-4 Blue Willow?

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product you order, not to the Ace color name by itself. For Ace C45-4 Blue Willow, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the paint product or chemistry you are buying: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

If you need SDS details for a specific format, make sure you open the sheet that matches that product.

How do I confirm Ace C45-4 Blue Willow before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm Ace C45-4 Blue Willow from a physical swatch or a known existing painted reference, not from a screen. MyPerfectColor makes a match to the selected brand color reference, so checking the target color first helps avoid ordering a match for the wrong version of Blue Willow.

If the part must sit next to existing paint, verify the reference under the same lighting before you place the order.

How much Ace C45-4 Blue Willow paint should I order for my project?

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats usually cover about 400 to 600 square feet, depending on the product and surface.

For Ace C45-4 Blue Willow, plan for extra paint if the surface is rough, dark, uneven, or likely to need more than one coat.

Will Ace C45-4 Blue Willow look the same in matte and gloss?

No. The same matched color can read differently in matte, satin, or gloss because the finish changes light reflection and perceived depth. That means a match of Ace C45-4 Blue Willow in one sheen may not look identical in another sheen after it is applied.

If you need the new coating to coordinate with an existing surface, choose the finish that most closely matches that surface and test on the actual item when possible.

Can Ace C45-4 Blue Willow be used on plastic parts?

Yes, Ace C45-4 Blue Willow is available as MyPerfectColor spray paint for many plastic projects, but plastics vary and some need more prep or a primer to hold the coating well. Test on the actual plastic first if you can.

Clean the surface thoroughly and use the MyPerfectColor primer when you need better adhesion on difficult plastics. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but low-energy plastics are the cases where prep matters most.
