Match of CertainTeed™ 1 Arbor Blend *

Yes, if you choose MyPerfectColor's Original Material Match option for CertainTeed 1 Arbor Blend. In this collection, only products labeled Original Material Match are suitable for direct touch up because they include a sheen match. That makes them the right starting point for scratches, rub marks, edge damage, or field-cut repairs on factory-finished building materials.

If the siding has already aged outdoors, the color reference can still be correct, but the repaired spot may not disappear completely because weathering, texture, and sheen can differ from the surrounding surface.

It can be the right color reference, but there is no guarantee it will blend perfectly with an aged installed surface. Sun exposure, chalking, sheen change, texture, embossing, and batch variation can all make an older CertainTeed 1 Arbor Blend surface read differently from the original factory color.

If the repair is highly visible or the approval tolerance is tight, a sample or an existing part is often a safer reference than relying on the nominal brand color alone.

For direct touch up on factory-finished building materials, choose MyPerfectColor's Original Material Match version of CertainTeed 1 Arbor Blend. That is the only product type in this collection that should be treated as suitable for touch up because it includes a sheen match.

Other matched formats, such as spray paint, paint pens, brush-in-cap bottles, interior/exterior housepaint, urethane, or epoxy, may be useful for separate parts, accessories, or broader repainting, but they should not be described as the right choice for direct touch up on the original factory-finished surface.

A match of CertainTeed 1 Arbor Blend is a factory-finish color reference for siding-family applications, so it is useful when a replacement board, trim piece, soffit, fascia, gutter, flashing, vent, shutter, or other nearby accessory needs to blend with the existing material. MyPerfectColor can make a matched paint to coordinate those parts to CertainTeed 1 Arbor Blend.

If you are repairing the original factory-finished surface itself, use the Original Material Match option so the touch-up paint includes a sheen match.

Yes, if the installed CertainTeed 1 Arbor Blend surface has aged, weathered, or changed sheen, an existing part or factory sample can be a better reference than the nominal color name alone. That is especially important when the repair is visible or the match has to be approved closely.

The brand color is still useful as a starting point, but a sample helps MyPerfectColor account for real-world differences in finish, wear, and surface condition.

It depends. MyPerfectColor matches the color of the CertainTeed 1 Arbor Blend but may not match the sheen. If you see Custom Sheen as a sheen option, this means we also match the sheen of the material, otherwise you would need to pick the closest sheen available. However, keep in mind that our version of the CertainTeed 1 Arbor Blend is based on matching an official CertainTeed color sample. The color and sheen of your specific CertainTeed parts may vary. If your material is not new and has been exposed to the weather, then it is likely that the color has changed over time. MyPerfectColor samples not been exposed to sunlight and weather. If you need a touch up application, you may need to send us a part so we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

MyPerfectColor has the original CertainTeed color samples. A sample of the CertainTeed 1 Arbor Blend you are looking for is in our library. We are able to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

Please note that if your existing materials are not new and you are trying to touch up, they will have aged and are likely different now than they were when new. MyPerfectColor will be sending paint matching the sample at our facility which has not aged the same as your materials and may also be different due to other factors such as variations in manufacturing processes. If your match is critical, you may consider sending a part of your materials for precise color matching. Learn more about our color matching services.
