A match of Valspar 304-4 Battleship reads as a muted blue-gray with a cool undertone and low chroma. The color sits in a medium-dark range, so it looks subdued rather than bright, with enough blue to stay recognizable and enough gray to keep it restrained.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 304-4 Battleship can be a practical choice for vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, mailbox parts, railings, brackets, shutters, and PVC trim pieces that need a coordinated blue-gray finish. It also suits frames, shelving ends, knobs, hardware, and other small objects where an even sprayed coat is easier than brushing around edges and openings.

Because this color is muted rather than vivid, it generally does not behave like a high-chroma accent color that needs extra coverage to calm down. Even so, the darker midtone can reveal substrate color, surface texture, and sheen differences, especially on rough plastic, patched metal, or parts painted beside older finishes. A proper primer and consistent film build help it read more evenly.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Valspar™ 304-4 Battleship *

Can 304-4 Battleship be painted on plastic parts, or does it need special prep?

Plastic surfaces can vary a lot, so test MyPerfectColor paint matched to 304-4 Battleship on the actual part before you commit to the full project. MyPerfectColor spray paint adheres well to most plastics, but using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult plastic substrates.

The code identifies the color target only. It does not tell you how the plastic is made, so prep and testing matter.

How much area will MyPerfectColor 304-4 Battleship spray paint cover?

Coverage depends on the size of the part, surface texture, how much hiding power is needed, the application method, and how many coats you plan to apply. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

If you are using another MyPerfectColor format matched to 304-4 Battleship, coverage can differ. Plan based on the actual surface you are coating, not just the color name.

What prep is needed before applying 304-4 Battleship to metal or an existing coating?

Before painting metal or a previously coated surface with a match of 304-4 Battleship, clean the surface well, remove rust or contamination, and scuff it if needed so the new coating can bond better. The condition of the old coating matters.

Gloss, texture, and wear in the existing finish can all affect the final appearance, even when the color match itself is correct.

Where do I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor 304-4 Battleship?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the 304-4 Battleship color name alone. If you need safety information, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the product you are ordering.

MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets are available at https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

How do I choose a finish for 304-4 Battleship, and will the sheen change the look?

Yes. Finish choice affects durability, reflectivity, cleanup, and how the matched 304-4 Battleship color reads on the finished item. The same color can look different at different gloss levels.

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used and what surface you are coating. If you are matching an existing item, keep the finish practical for that surface instead of treating the color code as the only decision.

How do I convert Valspar 304-4 Battleship to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Valspar 304-4 Battleship in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another brand.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the brand 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.
