Match of Martha Stewart™ MSL117 Artesian Well *

Primer depends on the surface, its condition, and the product you are applying. A primer is often helpful on bare, porous, glossy, repaired, or difficult substrates because it can improve adhesion and help the finish build more evenly.

If you are coating a previously painted item in good condition, primer may not be required, but it usually does not hurt the result. Check the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product you are ordering before you paint Martha Stewart MSL117 Artesian Well.

Confirm the exact brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity before you place the order. A match of Martha Stewart MSL117 Artesian Well is a custom color match reference, so the details you choose determine what you receive.

Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to verify that you selected the right color reference and the right format for your project before checkout.

Finish changes how much light the coating reflects, which changes how Martha Stewart MSL117 Artesian Well is perceived after application. The same color match can look different in flat, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss because the sheen changes reflectivity and surface appearance.

The substrate also matters. Texture, porosity, and the way the part was prepared can all change how the finished color reads, even when the paint match itself is correct.

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used and how much surface reflection you want. Lower-sheen finishes usually reduce glare and can make surface irregularities less noticeable, while higher-sheen finishes usually clean more easily and reflect more light.

For Martha Stewart MSL117 Artesian Well, keep the same sheen across parts that need to match each other closely. If you are unsure, compare the product options for the item you are painting and choose the finish that fits the surface and wear level best.

Use light, even coats and keep the can moving so you do not build paint too heavily in one spot. Hold a consistent distance from the surface, overlap each pass slightly, and avoid stopping in the middle of a pass because that is where runs and uneven sheen often start.

For Martha Stewart MSL117 Artesian Well, multiple thin coats are usually better than one heavy coat, especially on darker or uneven substrates. Let each coat dry according to the product instructions before applying the next coat.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart MSL117 Artesian Well, we don't provide any crossover information because this is a subjective determination. Every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, so determining which color is the best approximation is a judgement call.

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