Match of Pratt and Lambert™ 33-7 Linen White *

Coverage depends on the size of the part, the surface texture, how much hiding power is needed, the application method, and how many coats you apply. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, depending on product type and surface conditions.

If you are coating items like trim pieces, vents, PVC pipe, hardware, or other small parts, plan for extra material if the surface is rough, porous, or a dark color underneath. For the most reliable order, estimate the actual area you will coat and allow for more than one coat if needed.

No. The same 33-7 Linen White color can look different in matte, satin, or gloss because the finish changes how light reflects off the surface and how deep the color appears.

If you are trying to coordinate a painted part with an existing surface, match the finish as closely as you can to the item you are trying to coordinate. If you are coating a new part, choose the finish based on the look and performance you need, not just the color code.

Start by cleaning the surface, removing grease, and letting it dry fully. If the material allows it, lightly scuff the surface so the coating can grip better. Mask any areas you do not want painted, then test the product on the actual item before doing the full job.

This matters for metal, wood, plastic, and previously coated parts because prep affects adhesion, durability, and how the matched 33-7 Linen White reads after application. Good prep is especially important on small parts where mistakes are hard to correct.

Plastics vary widely, so testing on the actual material is important before you commit to the full project. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but some low energy surfaces may need more careful prep or a primer to improve adhesion.

If you are painting items like switch covers, vents, grilles, housings, or other molded parts, clean and prepare the surface first and test a small area. Using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can help improve adhesion when the plastic is difficult to coat.

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used and how you want the coating to perform. Finish affects durability, reflectivity, cleanup, and the way the matched 33-7 Linen White will look after it is applied.

If you are coating a part that needs frequent handling, easy cleaning, or a closer visual match to an existing finished surface, the finish choice matters as much as the color reference. For spray-painted items, select the finish that fits the surface and the use case before you place the order.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Pratt and Lambert 33-7 Linen White in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

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 33-7 Linen White, 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.
