Match of Pratt and Lambert™ 23-13 Blue Zircon *

Use light, even coats and keep the can moving so the color builds gradually instead of pooling in one spot. Overlap each pass slightly, and do not try to cover the part with one heavy coat.

For 23-13 Blue Zircon, heavy passes can lead to runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy look on edges and details. Let each coat flash or dry according to the product directions before adding the next coat, especially on small parts, grilles, hardware, or accessories.

Choose the sheen based on the item and how it will be used, not on the color code alone. Sheen affects how durable the finish is, how easy it is to clean, and how much light it reflects.

A flatter sheen will hide surface texture more, while a higher sheen will look more reflective and can make the same match of 23-13 Blue Zircon appear different on the finished part. If you are matching an existing piece, select the sheen that best matches the original finish or the surrounding installed parts.

Confirm the target color from a physical swatch or a known existing Pratt and Lambert reference before you place the order. A screen image alone can shift the appearance of 23-13 Blue Zircon and lead to the wrong match.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom-matched paint based on the selected brand color reference, so verifying the original color first is the best way to avoid ordering the wrong match.

Yes, a match of Pratt and Lambert 23-13 Blue Zircon is often used for small objects and removable parts that are practical to spray, such as baskets, frames, shelving, hardware, decor pieces, and similar accessories.

For these projects, make sure the item is clean and suitable for spray application, then build the color with light coats instead of one heavy pass. That approach helps the finish read more evenly on small or detailed pieces.

Clean the surface well to remove dust, oils, wax, and other contamination before spraying. If the item has rust, loose paint, or a failing old finish, remove the problem areas first so the new coating has a stable base.

On sound glossy metal or a good existing coating, scuffing helps the MyPerfectColor match of 23-13 Blue Zircon grip better. The condition of the old surface can affect the final look, including gloss and texture, so it is worth preparing the part before you spray.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Pratt and Lambert 23-13 Blue Zircon, 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.
