Match of Pratt and Lambert™ 24-8 Forget-Me-Not *

For a MyPerfectColor match of Pratt and Lambert 24-8 Forget-Me-Not, dry-to-touch, recoating, and full handling are different stages. A spray application is typically dry to the touch within minutes, ready to recoat in about 1 to 2 hours, and fully cured in about two weeks. If the item will be handled often or put back into service, wait for full cure before relying on the finish.

Primer depends on the substrate, its condition, and the paint system you are using. For a MyPerfectColor match of Pratt and Lambert 24-8 Forget-Me-Not, primer is not always required, but it can improve adhesion and it usually does not hurt. Use primer when the surface is bare, glossy, porous, damaged, or otherwise difficult, and follow the prep guidance for the selected product before ordering or spraying.

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used and how you want the finished surface to perform, not just on the color name. With Pratt and Lambert 24-8 Forget-Me-Not, higher gloss levels are usually easier to clean and more reflective, while flatter finishes reduce shine and can hide surface variation better. The same color can look different across sheens, so make the sheen choice before ordering your MyPerfectColor match.

Yes, but plastics vary widely, so testing on the actual material is important.

If the part is a difficult plastic or a low-energy surface, use the MyPerfectColor primer recommended for adhesion and verify the result on a small test area first.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Pratt and Lambert 24-8 Forget-Me-Not, 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.
