Match of Valspar™ 246A-1 Rainfall *

MyPerfectColor SDS information is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint chemistry, not to the Valspar color name alone. For 246A-1 Rainfall by Valspar, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm. If you need SDS details for a specific order, check the sheet for the exact MyPerfectColor product you plan to buy.

Choose the finish for 246A-1 Rainfall based on how the item will be used and how much sheen you want in the finished coating. Lower-sheen finishes usually reduce reflection and can make surface texture less noticeable, while higher-sheen finishes are easier to wipe and look more reflective. The color target stays 246A-1 Rainfall, but the finished part can read differently as the sheen changes.

If you are coating handled parts, fixtures, vents, switch covers, or other pieces that may need more cleaning, the finish choice matters as much as the color match.

MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to 246A-1 Rainfall can be used on many plastics, but plastics vary a lot, so the safest approach is to test on the actual part first. Clean and prep the surface well, and use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel to help improve adhesion on difficult plastic.

If the part is a low-energy plastic or has molded texture, plan on a test piece before painting the final item. That is especially important for removable parts, covers, trim pieces, and other items where adhesion matters.

Before ordering 246A-1 Rainfall by Valspar, confirm the target from a physical swatch or a known existing painted part rather than from a screen image. MyPerfectColor makes a match to the original brand color reference, so the key decision is whether 246A-1 Rainfall is the exact Valspar color you need.

If the surface you are matching has aged, faded, or been repainted, verify the source reference first so you do not order a match to the wrong version of the color.

Once 246A-1 Rainfall by Valspar is applied, the way it looks can still change with lighting, sheen, nearby colors, surface texture, and where the part is installed. A color that looked right from the swatch can read lighter, cooler, or more reflective on the finished item depending on those conditions.

If the part will be viewed beside other coated surfaces or under a specific light source, plan for those viewing conditions when you choose the finish and apply the coating.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use.

While we can provide Valspar 246A-1 Rainfall 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.
