Match of Martha Stewart™ MS228 Blue Ticking *

With MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to MS228 Blue Ticking, dry-to-touch can happen within minutes, but that is not the same as being ready to recoat or handle. Plan on recoating in 1 to 2 hours, and allow about 2 weeks for full cure before heavy handling or reassembly.

If you are painting small parts, vents, hardware, or other removable items, let each coat set enough that the surface is stable before moving to the next step. Dry time can vary with film thickness, temperature, and humidity.

MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to MS228 Blue Ticking adheres well to most plastics, but plastics vary a lot, so a test on the actual part is important. Clean the surface first, and if the plastic is slick, flexible, or low energy, use the MyPerfectColor primer to improve adhesion.

For items like grilles, covers, housings, baskets, or trim pieces, primer can reduce the risk of poor bonding or early wear. If you are unsure about the plastic type, test a small hidden area before coating the full part.

Confirm MS228 Blue Ticking from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color standard, so the most important step is verifying that MS228 Blue Ticking is the target you want before placing the order.

If you are matching an existing painted item, use the best available physical reference from the same source or the approved color sample. Screen images can shift with lighting, display settings, and camera processing, which can lead to ordering the wrong match.

For metal or an already coated surface, start with cleaning so the part is free of dust, oil, and contamination. Remove rust or loose material, and scuff glossy areas so the new coating has a better surface to grip.

With MyPerfectColor paint matched to MS228 Blue Ticking, the final look can change with the condition of the old coating, its gloss, and its texture. If the existing finish is failing, peeling, or not well bonded, that needs to be corrected before painting. A suitable primer may also help depending on the substrate and condition.

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the MS228 Blue Ticking color name by itself. If you need safety information, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the exact product format you are ordering.

Be sure to review the SDS for the correct spray paint or other product type before use, since different formats can have different handling and safety details.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Martha Stewart MS228 Blue Ticking 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 MS228 Blue Ticking, 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.
