Match of Martha Stewart™ MS285 Fountain *

Clean the surface first to remove dust, grease, wax, and loose material, then let it dry fully. If the surface is glossy or already coated, lightly scuff it where appropriate so the new coating has a better grip. Mask off adjacent areas, and test MS285 Fountain on the actual surface before doing the full job.

Good prep matters because MyPerfectColor is supplying a custom match of MS285 Fountain, and adhesion and final appearance are affected by the condition of the item you are painting.

Use light, even coats and keep your passes consistent with overlap. Avoid heavy wet passes, since they can cause runs, uneven sheen, or color buildup that changes how MS285 Fountain looks when dry.

Build coverage gradually rather than trying to finish in one pass. Let each coat dry according to the product directions before adding the next coat.

Plastics vary a lot, so test MS285 Fountain on the actual plastic part before painting the full item. MyPerfectColor spray paint adheres well to most plastics, but slick or low-energy plastics can still need extra prep.

For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer, especially if the plastic is smooth or difficult to coat. Clean the part first and follow the prep steps that fit the material you are painting.

Confirm MS285 Fountain from a physical swatch or another known existing reference from the original Martha Stewart color, not from your screen alone. Screen color can shift with lighting and display settings.

MyPerfectColor matches the selected brand color reference, so once you verify that MS285 Fountain is the target, you can order the MyPerfectColor match in the format that fits your project.

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.

Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon. If the surface is rough, porous, dark, or uneven, plan for extra material and test a small area first.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Martha Stewart MS285 Fountain 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 MS285 Fountain, 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.
