A match of Valspar 338-4 Quaker Gray is a medium-dark gray with low chroma and a slight cool cast. With an LRV of 18.35, it reads as a deeper neutral rather than a light gray, and the blue-leaning undertone can show more clearly on smooth or glossy surfaces.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailboxes, shutters, hardware, frames, and equipment housings where a muted gray is needed on a sprayable part. It is also a practical choice for PVC, metal, plastic, or previously coated components when the goal is to coordinate small parts with an existing color reference.

Because this is a relatively low-chroma gray, it usually behaves more predictably than a vivid color, but finish and substrate can still change how dark or cool it appears. On uneven, porous, or darker surfaces, a uniform spray build helps reduce show-through and keeps the color reading consistent. Sheen differences can also make the same match look lighter or deeper from part to part.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Valspar™ 338-4 Quaker Gray *

How do I confirm I have the right Valspar 338-4 Quaker Gray color before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm 338-4 Quaker Gray from a physical Valspar color reference, such as a swatch or an existing labeled color chip, before placing the order. Screen viewing alone can shift the color enough to cause a wrong match decision.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, not the original Valspar paint. That means the target color should be verified first, especially if the item will be matched to an existing painted part or a visible surface.

Where can I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor paint matched to Valspar 338-4 Quaker Gray?

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the Valspar 338-4 Quaker Gray color name by itself. Look up the SDS for the specific MyPerfectColor paint product you plan to order.

For this collection, the SDS page provided is https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

What sheen should I choose for a MyPerfectColor match of Valspar 338-4 Quaker Gray?

Choose sheen based on the item and the finish you need, because gloss level changes how a match of 338-4 Quaker Gray will look on the final surface. Lower sheen usually hides surface irregularities better, while higher sheen shows more reflectivity and can make color appear different.

If you are matching a part that must coordinate with an existing surface, try to match the sheen as closely as possible. If the part is new or separate, select the finish that best fits the wear, cleanup, and appearance needs of the item.

Can I return a custom MyPerfectColor order for Valspar 338-4 Quaker Gray if I choose the wrong color, sheen, or quantity?

Custom-made color orders should be checked carefully before you buy, because a match of 338-4 Quaker Gray is made specifically to your selected reference and order choices. Confirm the color, product format, sheen, and quantity before submitting the order.

If the wrong reference or finish is selected, the order may not be returnable or refundable. This is especially important for custom spray paint or other made-to-order products where the color match is produced for a specific target.

How much paint do I need for a project using Valspar 338-4 Quaker Gray?

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, application method, and how many coats are needed. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paints often cover about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon.

For a match of 338-4 Quaker Gray, plan extra material if the surface is rough, porous, dark, or likely to need more than one coat. If you are coating a small part, fixture, or removable item, count the total painted area rather than the size of the whole object.

How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Valspar 338-4 Quaker Gray?

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.
