Match of Ameritone Devoe™ 1M17E Western Blue *

For metal or a previously painted surface, clean off dirt, grease, wax, and any loose coating before you apply a match of 1M17E Western Blue. If the old finish is sound, light scuffing usually helps the new coating grip better. Remove rust and contamination first, because they can affect adhesion and the final look.

Keep in mind that gloss, texture, and the condition of the old coating can change how 1M17E Western Blue reads after application. If the item will sit next to an existing painted area, a test on the actual surface is the safest way to check the result before you commit to the full job.

Plastics vary a lot, so a match of 1M17E Western Blue should be tested on the actual material before you paint the full part. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but adhesion can improve when you use the MyPerfectColor primer made for acrylic enamel. That is especially useful when the surface is slick, flexible, or otherwise hard to coat.

If the plastic is unknown or low-energy, prep and primer choice matter more than the color name itself. A small test application helps confirm how 1M17E Western Blue will bond and look on that specific item.

Yes. A match of 1M17E Western Blue can be ordered in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for small parts such as switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, and trim pieces. Spray application is useful when you want a smooth, durable finish on items that are small, removable, or awkward to brush.

For these projects, focus on the part's material, shape, and prep needs first, then choose the MyPerfectColor format that fits the job. A spray finish is often the practical choice when you need even coverage on detailed hardware or fixtures.

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you plan to apply. As a general guide, a typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats usually cover about 400 to 600 square feet, but that depends on the product type and the job.

If you are coating a rough, porous, or contrasting surface, plan on using more material than you would on a smooth, similar-color item. For 1M17E Western Blue, it is safer to size the order for the full project and any extra coats rather than rely on a single coverage estimate.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product and chemistry, not to the 1M17E Western Blue color name alone. To find the correct document, look up the Safety Data Sheet for the specific MyPerfectColor product you are ordering in that matched color.

If you need the SDS for compliance or project records, make sure you are checking the exact product format, such as spray paint or another MyPerfectColor coating, because the safety document follows the product, not just the color reference.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Ameritone Devoe 1M17E Western Blue, 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.
