Match of True Value™ A106 Carnelian *

Coverage depends on the surface area, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. If you are ordering MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to True Value A106 Carnelian, a typical spray can covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, but the actual amount still depends on the job.

For items like vents, pipe, shutters, railings, hardware, or small fixtures, plan for extra material if the surface is rough, porous, or being changed from a darker color. If you need a reliable quantity, estimate the project by surface area first, then add room for additional coats and waste.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the True Value A106 Carnelian color name by itself. If you are ordering a match of A106 Carnelian, use the SDS for the specific MyPerfectColor paint format you plan to buy.

MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets can be found on the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm. Check the SDS before use if you need handling, storage, or safety details for the exact product format.

Primer depends on the substrate, the surface condition, and the paint type you are using. For a match of True Value A106 Carnelian, primer is not always required, but it can help with adhesion, uniformity, and coverage on difficult or uneven surfaces.

A primer never hurts and can only improve adhesion, especially on bare metal, glossy plastic, weathered wood, or patched areas. If you are painting PVC pipe, vents, brackets, or hardware, check the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product you ordered and test on a small area if the surface is unfamiliar.

Choose sheen based on how the item will be used, cleaned, and viewed. With a match of True Value A106 Carnelian, lower sheen finishes reduce reflectivity and can hide surface flaws better, while higher sheen finishes are usually easier to clean and more durable on handled parts.

Sheen also changes how the color reads on the finished item. If you need the best visual match to an existing surface, compare sheen as well as color because the same A106 Carnelian match can look different in matte, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss.

For spray paint matched to True Value A106 Carnelian, dry-to-touch, recoat, and full cure are different stages. Spray paint is typically dry to touch within minutes, should be recoated in 1 to 2 hours, and is fully cured in about two weeks.

If you are painting small parts like switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, or other removable items, allow enough time between coats so the film can set without runs or fingerprints. Do not assume a surface is ready for handling just because it feels dry on top.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the True Value A106 Carnelian 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.

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.

MyPerfectColor offers custom spray paint matched to True Value A106 Carnelian which enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish. It is difficult to gauge spray paint coverage because it depends on how you apply it and the amount of overspray, but generally the 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. This paint sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the True Value A106 Carnelian, 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.
