Match of Ace™ D44-2 Platinum *

If you are ordering MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Ace D44-2 Platinum, plan on about 20 square feet per can for one coat. Coverage can be lower on rough, porous, or dark surfaces, and you may need extra coats to get even hide.

If you choose another MyPerfectColor format instead of spray paint, coverage is usually much higher, often about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon depending on the product and the surface.

Clean the surface first to remove oil, dirt, wax, and other contamination. Then scuff the metal or the existing coating so the new finish can grip. If there is rust, peeling paint, or loose material, remove it before applying a match of Ace D44-2 Platinum.

Gloss, texture, and the condition of the old coating can affect how the finished color looks, so a test spot is a good idea if the part is visible or the existing finish is in poor condition.

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Ace D44-2 Platinum is a practical option for switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, knobs, trim pieces, and similar hardware. Spray paint is often the easiest way to coat shapes with edges, openings, or tight details.

Clean and scuff removable parts before spraying, and keep in mind that nearby older paint can look different because of age, sheen, or texture. If the part has to sit beside an existing surface, test first.

Sheen is a separate choice from the Ace D44-2 Platinum color target. Lower sheens usually hide surface marks and texture better, while higher sheens reflect more light and are easier to wipe clean.

If you are coordinating with an existing painted item, try to match the surrounding sheen as closely as possible. The same color can look different when the sheen changes, so sheen selection is part of getting the finished item to read correctly.

Use light, even coats and overlap each pass slightly. Keep the can moving at a steady distance and avoid laying down one heavy wet coat, which can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy build.

Let each coat dry or flash according to the product directions before adding the next coat. If the substrate or old coating is unusual, a test spray on scrap can help you confirm how a match of Ace D44-2 Platinum will lay down.

While we can provide Ace D44-2 Platinum 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.
