Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application

A match of Valspar 343C-6 Superior Ship is a dark, muted green-brown with an olive cast and low saturation. With an LRV of 10.75, it reads as a deep color rather than a midtone, and the green note is softened by gray and brown undertones.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Valspar 343C-6 Superior Ship can be used on small parts and fixtures where a subdued dark color is needed. It is a practical choice for HVAC vents, speaker grilles, switch covers, metal brackets, railings, mailbox parts, shutters, conduit, PVC trim pieces, shelf supports, and other hardware or accessories that spray well after proper prep.

Because this is a dark, low-chroma color, it often covers more cleanly than vivid colors, but finish and substrate still matter. Gloss level can make texture, sanding marks, and previous coating differences more noticeable, and a contrasting base can change how the color reads until coverage builds. On metal, plastic, or previously painted parts, surface preparation and enough film build help the final result look more even.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Valspar™ 343C-6 Superior Ship *

Where can I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor matched to Valspar 343C-6 Superior Ship?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product and chemistry, not to the Valspar color name alone. For Valspar 343C-6 Superior Ship, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the specific product format you plan to order, including spray paint or any other applicable format.

If you need to review the SDS before ordering, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the matched product rather than relying on the brand color name by itself.

Can I apply MyPerfectColor match of Valspar 343C-6 Superior Ship over metal or an existing coating?

Yes, but the surface needs proper prep. Clean off dirt, grease, wax, and other contamination, then scuff the surface so the coating has something to grip. If there is rust, loose paint, or failing coating, remove it before painting.

When you apply a match of Valspar 343C-6 Superior Ship over an existing finish, the old coating's gloss, texture, and condition can change how the new color reads on the part. If the item is high-visibility or already painted, a test application on the actual surface is the safest way to judge the result.

Which finish should I choose for MyPerfectColor 343C-6 Superior Ship?

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used and how you want the coating to perform, not just on the color name. Higher gloss usually gives more reflectivity and can be easier to clean, while lower gloss reduces reflection. The finish also changes how Valspar 343C-6 Superior Ship looks once it is applied.

If you are matching an existing item, try to keep the finish consistent with the surrounding surface. A color match in a different sheen can look noticeably different even when the color formula is correct.

How much MyPerfectColor paint matched to Valspar 343C-6 Superior Ship do I need?

Coverage depends on the size of the item, the surface texture, the hiding power of the color, the application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet.

If you are coating a rough, porous, dark, or uneven surface, plan for more material because it may take additional coats to get even coverage for 343C-6 Superior Ship.

Will MyPerfectColor match of Valspar 343C-6 Superior Ship stick to plastics?

Plastics vary a lot, so test on the actual material before committing to the whole part. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but adhesion can still depend on the exact plastic, surface texture, and prep.

For better adhesion on difficult plastics, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel before applying 343C-6 Superior Ship. A quick test is the best way to reduce the risk of poor adhesion or peeling.
