A match of Valspar 248-2 Clear Horizon is a light blue with a cool, slightly aqua undertone and soft chroma. It reads airy rather than saturated, with enough color to register clearly but not so much that it feels vivid or dense.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, access panels, mailbox parts, railings, PVC trim pieces, shelf brackets, picture frames, and other small fixtures where a consistent light blue finish is needed. It is also a practical choice for removable parts that need to coordinate with a known paint reference without repainting a larger surface.
Because this is a light color, darker or uneven substrates may show through more easily, especially on plastic, raw metal, or previously coated parts. A uniform surface prep and enough film build help the color read more evenly, and the final appearance can shift with sheen, substrate texture, and the number of coats applied.

Yes. Before you buy, confirm the exact color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen you want, and the quantity you need. The code 248-2 Clear Horizon identifies the Valspar color target, but it does not by itself define sheen, product line, or surface preparation.
Because this is a custom-made color match, it should be chosen carefully. Custom color orders are generally not returnable or refundable, so make sure Valspar 248-2 Clear Horizon is the correct reference before placing the order.
The color match is made to the reference for Valspar 248-2 Clear Horizon, but the finished item can still read differently after application. Lighting, placement, sheen, texture, and nearby surfaces all affect how the color appears once it is on the part.
This matters most when the coated item will sit next to an existing painted surface. Even when the color target is correct, an older finish, different gloss, or a different substrate can make the result look a little different in real use.
Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Valspar 248-2 Clear Horizon can be used on many plastic parts, but plastics vary widely. Some plastics need different prep or primer to get reliable adhesion, so testing on the actual material is important.
MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel can help improve adhesion. Clean the part first, follow the prep steps carefully, and test a small area before coating the full item.
Yes. A match of Valspar 248-2 Clear Horizon is a practical choice when the goal is to coordinate a real object to a known paint color. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can work for baskets, frames, shelving, brackets, knobs, accessories, and other small parts where spray application is the best fit.
This is usually a good option when the item is removable, awkward to brush, or part of a project that needs a repeatable color across several pieces. Choose the format that fits the object and the size of the job.
Clean the surface first, then scuff glossy areas so the new coating can bond. If there is rust, loose paint, or contamination, handle that before spraying because those conditions can affect adhesion and the way the finished Valspar 248-2 Clear Horizon match looks.
The condition of the old coating matters as much as the color itself. When the new finish will sit beside an older painted surface, a small test area can help you check adhesion and how the matched color reads on that specific metal piece.
MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use.
