A match of Ace D45-3 Chelsea By The Sea is a very light blue-gray with a cool cast and very low chroma. It reads soft and subdued rather than clear or saturated, with a pale, slightly misty appearance.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Ace color reference can be used on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, access panels, shelf brackets, PVC trim pieces, railings, mailboxes, and hardware when a quiet coordinating color is needed. It also suits smaller items such as picture frames, baskets, and fixture covers where a light blue-gray finish helps the part blend with painted surroundings without drawing attention.
Because this is a light color, darker substrates or uneven prep can show through more readily than they would with a deeper shade, so coverage and film build matter. Finish also affects the read of the color: gloss can make it seem a bit cleaner and cooler, while flatter finishes tend to soften it further.

No. The same color match can read differently in matte, satin, and gloss because the finish changes how much light is reflected off the surface. That means a match of Ace D45-3 Chelsea By The Sea can still be the correct color reference while looking a bit different once it is applied in a different sheen.
If the part will sit next to an existing painted item, try to match the sheen as well as the color reference. MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint is made to the selected brand color, but the final look still depends on the finish, substrate, and lighting on the finished object.
Yes, but plastics vary widely, so it is important to test the actual part before painting the full item. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to many plastics, but adhesion can change based on the type of plastic, surface texture, and any mold release or contamination on the part.
For the best chance of success, clean the plastic carefully, then use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel when the surface is difficult or when you want better adhesion. If the part is important or has an unusual plastic blend, test a small area first before committing to the full project.
Clean the surface first so grease, dust, and oxidation do not interfere with adhesion. If the metal has rust, loose paint, or a failing old coating, remove or stabilize those areas before painting. A smooth, sound surface will give a more predictable result when you apply MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Ace D45-3 Chelsea By The Sea.
Also pay attention to the condition of the existing finish. Gloss, texture, and surface wear can change how the new color reads, even when the color match itself is correct. A quick test panel or test spot is a good way to confirm how the finished part will look before you coat the full item.
