Match of Pratt and Lambert™ 12-13 Colorado Sand *

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 12-13 Colorado Sand should be treated as having separate timing stages: dry to touch in minutes, recoat in about 1 to 2 hours, and full cure in about two weeks. Do not assume it is ready for stacking, hard handling, or outdoor service just because the surface feels dry.

For parts like vents, hardware, trim pieces, or PVC pipe, plan your workflow around those timing windows so you do not trap solvent or mar the finish between coats.

Because 12-13 Colorado Sand is a custom-matched color order, confirm the Pratt and Lambert reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, sheen, and quantity before you place the order. Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so the color and format need to be correct before checkout.

If you are matching removable items like a grille, cover plate, bracket, or pipe section, make sure you are ordering the format that fits the project, such as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 12-13 Colorado Sand.

A match of Pratt and Lambert 12-13 Colorado Sand will not look exactly the same in every setting even when the match is correct. Lighting, sheen, placement, and nearby surfaces can all change how the finish reads after it is applied.

That matters most when the painted item sits next to an existing wall, trim piece, fixture, or panel. The selected color reference stays the same, but the finished appearance can still shift with viewing angle and light source.

Coverage for 12-13 Colorado Sand depends on the size of the item, the surface texture, how much hiding power is needed, your application method, and whether you need one coat or more than one. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet.

For projects such as gutters, downspouts, railings, mailboxes, vents, brackets, or multiple small parts, estimate total surface area and allow for extra material if the substrate is rough, dark, or likely to need more than one coat.

Before applying 12-13 Colorado Sand, clean and degrease the surface, then use light scuffing where appropriate, mask adjacent areas, and test on the actual substrate first. Good prep helps the matched paint adhere and also helps you see how the color behaves on metal, plastic, wood, or a previously coated item.

This is especially useful for spray projects such as PVC pipe, vents, switch covers, hardware, frames, and other small parts where the surface condition can affect the result as much as the color match.

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 Pratt and Lambert 12-13 Colorado Sand, 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.
