Match of Pratt and Lambert™ 28-17 Lava *

Custom-matched paint made by MyPerfectColor to match Pratt and Lambert 28-17 Lava is made for your order, so you should confirm the brand color reference, product format, sheen, and quantity before buying. Custom color orders are generally not returnable or refundable, so the safest approach is to verify those choices before checkout.

Coverage depends on the size of the surface, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. If you are ordering Pratt and Lambert 28-17 Lava as spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet, so measure the item or area and plan for extra if the surface is rough, porous, or dark underneath.

For Pratt and Lambert 28-17 Lava in spray form, apply several light, even coats instead of one heavy coat. Keep the spray moving, hold a consistent distance, and overlap each pass slightly so the color builds evenly. Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking build, especially on small parts and detailed surfaces.

Primer needs depend on the substrate, the condition of the surface, and the paint type you choose for Pratt and Lambert 28-17 Lava. Check the prep guidance for the selected MyPerfectColor product, because some surfaces need primer for adhesion or uniform coverage while others may not. As a general rule, primer usually does not hurt and can help the finished coating perform better.

Sheen changes both the look and the performance of Pratt and Lambert 28-17 Lava. Higher gloss finishes usually clean more easily and can be more durable, while flatter finishes reduce reflectivity. The same matched color can also read differently depending on sheen and surface texture, so choose the finish that fits the item you are painting and the level of cleanup or wear it will face.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Pratt and Lambert 28-17 Lava, 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.
