Match of Pratt and Lambert™ 28-31 Mirage Gray *

Lighting can change how a match of 28-31 Mirage Gray reads after it is applied. Daylight, warm indoor lighting, and mixed light can all make the same coating look a little different on the finished item.

Placement also matters. A part next to other painted surfaces, a glossy surface, or a textured substrate can make the color seem lighter, darker, warmer, or cooler than it looked on the swatch. If the project is visible next to an existing finish, test the MyPerfectColor match on the actual surface before coating the full item.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not the color name alone. If you are buying a MyPerfectColor match of Pratt and Lambert 28-31 Mirage Gray, use the SDS for the exact product format you plan to order.

Check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the current SDS information before you place or use the order.

Before ordering 28-31 Mirage Gray, confirm the color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity you need. Custom-made color matches should be chosen carefully because they are not returnable or refundable.

If the new coating has to sit beside an existing painted surface, verify the reference first and consider testing on the actual item. That helps reduce the risk of ordering the wrong product or discovering a mismatch after application.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 28-31 Mirage Gray is practical for trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and other small or awkward parts that are harder to coat well with a brush.

It is also useful when you need a repeatable color on removable items or on components that need to coordinate with a known paint-brand color reference. MyPerfectColor also offers this kind of match in other formats for coordinated projects.

Start by cleaning and degreasing the surface so dirt, oil, and residue do not interfere with adhesion. Light scuffing can help on some surfaces, and masking is important when you need clean edges or want to protect nearby areas.

Test the match on the actual surface before a full application, especially on unfamiliar plastic, metal, or previously coated items. Surface condition can change both how the color looks and how well the coating holds up.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Pratt and Lambert 28-31 Mirage Gray, 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.
