Match of Pratt and Lambert™ 28-26 Gig's Grey *

The color code 28-26 Gig's Grey identifies the color target, but the finish is a separate product choice that changes how that match looks once it is on the item. A flatter finish reflects less light and can make the color read differently than a glossier finish, even when the color formula is the same.

If you are matching an existing part or working next to another coated surface, confirm the finish you need before ordering so the final look of the MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint is closer to your goal.

For MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 28-26 Gig's Grey, use light, even coats instead of trying to cover in one heavy pass. Keep the gun or can moving, overlap each pass consistently, and stay at the application distance recommended for the product you ordered.

Heavy coats can cause runs, mottling, or an uneven sheen that changes how the color reads after it dries. If the part is visible or small, test on a scrap piece first and follow the product instructions for flash time between coats.

MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to 28-26 Gig's Grey can be used on many plastic parts, but plastics vary a lot, so testing on the actual material is important. Some plastics accept paint well, while others need more preparation to get reliable adhesion.

To improve adhesion on difficult plastics, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel before applying the color coat. Clean the part well, prep the surface as needed, and test first if the plastic is unknown or has a slick, low-energy surface.

Confirm 28-26 Gig's Grey from a physical swatch, a known existing painted sample, or another solid brand reference rather than relying on a screen image. Screens can shift the color, and MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color standard, not what a monitor displays.

If you already have a sample or an approved reference, use that to verify the target before placing the order. That helps reduce the risk of ordering a MyPerfectColor match of the wrong Pratt and Lambert color.

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product and chemistry, not to the color name alone. If you are ordering 28-26 Gig's Grey in spray paint or another format, check the SDS for the exact product you plan to use.

MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets are available on the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page. Use the sheet for the specific product to review the safety and handling information that applies to your order.

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. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. 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 28-26 Gig's Grey, 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.
