Match of Martha Stewart™ MS160 Starched Linen *

Not exactly. The same MyPerfectColor match of MS160 Starched Linen can read differently in matte, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss because finish changes how much light the surface reflects and how deep the color appears. If you need the coating to coordinate with an existing item, choose the finish intentionally and test on the actual surface when possible before painting the full part.

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. As a planning guide, a typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet. Rough, porous, dark, or uneven surfaces often need more paint than a smooth, light, uniform surface.

Yes, MS160 Starched Linen can be used on many plastics, but plastics vary a lot, so test on the actual material first. MyPerfectColor spray paint adheres well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult surfaces. If the plastic part matters to the project, a small test area is the safest way to confirm prep and finish before coating the whole item.

For metal or an existing coating, clean off dirt, grease, and other contamination first, then remove rust or loose material and scuff glossy areas so the new coating can grab. The condition of the old finish, its gloss, and its texture can change how MS160 Starched Linen looks after application. If the part is important or will sit beside an older painted surface, test a small area before committing to the full item.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product chemistry, not the MS160 Starched Linen color name by itself. You can find MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets at https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm. If you are ordering a specific format, check the SDS for that exact product rather than relying on the color reference alone.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Martha Stewart MS160 Starched Linen 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 MS160 Starched Linen, 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.
