Match of Martha Stewart™ MSL275 Pewter *

Use light, even coats of MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to MSL275 Pewter instead of trying to cover in one heavy pass. Keep the spray movement steady, overlap each pass consistently, and let each coat flash off before adding the next. Heavy passes can cause runs, soft edges, or a muddy-looking finish on the final part.

If you are coating trim pieces, hardware, vents, or similar parts, plan on building color gradually so the match reads evenly across the surface.

For MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to MSL275 Pewter, a practical starting point is about 20 square feet per can with one coat. Actual coverage depends on the size of the part, surface texture, how much the material absorbs, the spray method, and how many coats are needed.

If you are coating a larger surface or a part that needs multiple coats for even color, plan extra material rather than ordering exactly to the measured area. If you are using another MyPerfectColor format for a larger job, coverage is typically much higher, often in the 400 to 600 square foot range depending on the product and application.

MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to MSL275 Pewter can be used on many plastics, but plastics vary a lot and some are harder to coat than others. The safest approach is to test on the actual part first so you can confirm adhesion and appearance before painting the full item.

Using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can improve adhesion on difficult plastic surfaces. Clean the part first, follow the primer steps if the material is unfamiliar, and do not assume every plastic will behave the same.

No. The same MSL275 Pewter color reference can look different in matte, satin, or gloss because finish changes how light reflects off the surface. MyPerfectColor can match the color target, but the chosen finish still affects how the final coating reads on the part.

If the item will sit next to an existing painted surface, use the finish that best fits the part you are coating. A finish mismatch can be as noticeable as a color mismatch, especially on smooth or reflective surfaces.

Before applying a match of MSL275 Pewter to metal or over an existing coating, clean the surface well and remove dust, oil, rust, and other contamination. If the old coating is glossy or otherwise sound, scuffing can help the new coating grip better.

The condition of the existing surface matters as much as the color match. Gloss, texture, rust, and old coating failure can all affect how the finished MSL275 Pewter color looks once it is sprayed.

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.

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 MSL275 Pewter, 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.
