Match of Martha Stewart™ MSL123 Arrowroot *

For metal or an existing coating, clean the surface first so dust, oil, wax, and other contamination do not interfere with adhesion. If the old coating is glossy, lightly scuff it so the new coating has a better mechanical bond. Remove loose rust, peeling paint, and failing finish before applying a match of MSL123 Arrowroot.

The condition of the old surface can affect how the final color reads. A sound, evenly prepared surface usually gives more predictable results than coating over rust, patchy texture, or unstable paint.

Confirm MSL123 Arrowroot from a physical swatch, chip, or another known existing color reference from the Martha Stewart brand. Screen images can vary, so they should not be the only basis for ordering.

MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color reference, not the on-screen appearance of the color. If you are matching an existing item, compare the reference under the lighting where the finished part will be used before placing the order.

Yes. Finish and sheen change how light reflects from the surface, so the same MSL123 Arrowroot color can look different in matte, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss. The color match stays the same, but the perceived look of the finished item can shift with sheen and texture.

Use finish as a practical coating choice for the object you are painting, not as part of the color code itself. If appearance consistency matters, test the chosen finish on the actual substrate before coating the full item.

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so test on the actual material before painting the full part. Clean the surface well, and if the plastic allows it, lightly scuff it to help the coating bond. Mold release, silicone, and very slick factory finishes can make adhesion more difficult.

MyPerfectColor spray paint is made to stick well to most plastics, and using MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult surfaces. For a small plastic part, a test panel is the safest way to confirm that MSL123 Arrowroot will apply and hold as expected.

Coverage depends on the size of the surface, its texture, how much hiding power you need, the application method, and the number of coats required. A typical can of MyPerfectColor spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paints typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet per coat.

If the surface is dark, rough, or hard to cover evenly, plan for extra material rather than ordering to the exact minimum. That is especially important when you need a match of MSL123 Arrowroot across multiple parts or a larger area.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Martha Stewart MSL123 Arrowroot in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart MSL123 Arrowroot, 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.
