Match of Martha Stewart™ MS027 Chinese Lacquer Red *

Yes, but the surface condition matters. Clean off dirt, oil, wax, and other contamination, and remove any rust or failing coating before painting. If the existing finish is sound and you are coating over it, scuffing usually helps the new coating grab better.

Keep in mind that gloss, texture, and the age of the old coating can change how MS027 Chinese Lacquer Red reads on the finished part. If you are repairing only one area next to older paint, test first so you can judge the appearance before coating the full item.

MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but plastics vary a lot, so test the actual item before painting the full surface. Smooth or low-energy plastics can need extra prep, and some parts may benefit from a light scuff and thorough cleaning first.

If you want better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel before applying MS027 Chinese Lacquer Red. That is especially useful when the plastic is slick, molded, or hard to identify.

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, but rough or uneven surfaces can use more.

Because MS027 Chinese Lacquer Red is a vivid color, it may need extra coats for even coverage over dark or uneven substrates. If you are coating an entire part, plan for enough material to cover the piece, edges, and any second-coat work.

No. Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so confirm the brand reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity before you order.

That matters especially for MS027 Chinese Lacquer Red because MyPerfectColor is making its own paint matched to the selected brand color reference, not selling the original Martha Stewart paint. Double-checking those order details reduces the risk of getting a product that does not fit your project.

The MS027 Chinese Lacquer Red color reference identifies the color target, but it does not tell you which sheen to use. Higher sheen finishes usually reflect more light and can be easier to clean, while lower sheen finishes reflect less and can look different on the finished item.

Choose the sheen based on the part you are painting and the look you need to match. If the item is going next to other coated pieces, the finish can matter as much as the color itself, so confirm the sheen before ordering.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Martha Stewart MS027 Chinese Lacquer Red in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart MS027 Chinese Lacquer Red, we don't provide any crossover information because this is a subjective determination. Every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, so determining which color is the best approximation is a judgement call.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Related Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the company 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.
