Match of CertainTeed™ 2 Arctic Blend *

For direct touch up on CertainTeed 2 Arctic Blend factory-finished building materials, choose an option that explicitly says Original Material Match. That is the touch-up path in this collection because it includes a sheen match. If you are repairing a cut edge, rub mark, scratch, or small damaged area on siding or a related part, Original Material Match is the safest product type to start with.

Not always. A match of CertainTeed 2 Arctic Blend is the color reference MyPerfectColor uses, but an installed siding surface can look different after sun exposure, weathering, chalking, sheen change, texture wear, or batch variation. If you are touching up beside an older surface, the right product can still be a close color reference, but the existing material may not read exactly the same as the original color standard.

For direct touch up on CertainTeed 2 Arctic Blend factory-finished building materials, use Original Material Match when it is available because it includes a sheen match. Water-based housepaint, urethane, and epoxy can still be color-matched options, but they are better suited to separate parts, broader repainting, or coordinated components, not direct touch up on the original finished surface.

If the job is a replacement piece or an accessory that needs to blend with nearby siding, choose the format that fits the part and the application method rather than assuming every format is suitable for touch up.

A match of CertainTeed 2 Arctic Blend is a siding color reference, so it is commonly used to coordinate replacement siding pieces, trim, soffit, fascia, gutters, flashings, shutters, and similar exterior accessories. If you are painting a separate part to blend with existing siding, order a MyPerfectColor match of CertainTeed 2 Arctic Blend in the format that fits that part.

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

Even when the color match for CertainTeed 2 Arctic Blend is correct, the repair can still read differently if the new coating does not match the original surface texture, gloss level, embossing, or substrate behavior. Those finish details affect how the color appears once it is on the material.

For best results, match the product type to the job: Original Material Match for direct touch up, and other matched formats for separate parts or broader repainting where the surface is different from the original siding finish.

It depends. MyPerfectColor matches the color of the CertainTeed 2 Arctic 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 2 Arctic 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 2 Arctic 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.
