Match of Martha Stewart™ MS153 Sharkey Gray *

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product you order for MS153 Sharkey Gray, not to the brand color name alone. You can find it on the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for this product: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

Use that page to confirm the SDS for the specific MyPerfectColor paint or spray paint format you plan to buy.

It depends on the substrate, its condition, and the paint format. Primer is not always required, but it usually does not hurt and can improve adhesion, especially on bare, repaired, glossy, or uneven surfaces.

Check the prep instructions for the specific MyPerfectColor product you are ordering, because the right prep can change by surface and coating type.

Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint can work on many plastics, but plastic types vary and some are harder to coat than others. Test on the actual plastic first, and use MyPerfectColor primer to improve adhesion when needed.

If the item is critical or highly visible, a test panel is the safest way to confirm the finish before painting the full part.

Coverage depends on the surface area, 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, while other MyPerfectColor paint formats usually cover about 400 to 600 square feet.

For MS153 Sharkey Gray, plan extra if the surface is rough, porous, dark, or if you expect to use more than one coat.

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used, not just the color code. Higher-gloss finishes are usually easier to clean and more durable, while lower-gloss finishes reduce reflectivity but can make the same MS153 Sharkey Gray match read differently on the finished item.

If the part will be handled often or exposed to frequent cleaning, pick the finish that fits those needs in the MyPerfectColor product line.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Martha Stewart MS153 Sharkey Gray 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 MS153 Sharkey Gray, 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.
