Match of CertainTeed™ 35 Mint *

For direct touch up on factory-finished siding, choose the MyPerfectColor option that explicitly says Original Material Match. That is the touch-up path for CertainTeed 35 Mint because it includes a sheen match.

If the repair is only a small area, use the Original Material Match product rather than a general-purpose paint type. Other product formats can be color matched, but they are not the right choice for direct touch up on factory-finished building materials.

Not always. A match of CertainTeed 35 Mint is the color reference, but an older installed surface can look different because of sun exposure, weathering, chalking, sheen change, texture, and batch variation.

If you are repairing beside existing siding, the color reference can still be the right starting point, but it does not guarantee a perfect visual blend on aged material. When the existing surface is heavily weathered or the repair is highly visible, compare against the installed part before you order.

For direct touch up on CertainTeed 35 Mint factory-finished material, use the product option labeled Original Material Match because it includes a sheen match.

If you are painting a separate part, accessory, or replacement piece, other MyPerfectColor formats such as spray paint, paint pens, brush-in-cap bottles, interior/exterior housepaint, epoxy, or urethane can be color matched for that job. Those formats should not be treated as the direct touch-up choice for factory-finished siding.

A match of CertainTeed 35 Mint is a siding color reference, so it is useful when a replacement board, trim piece, soffit, fascia, gutter, flashing, vent, shutter, or similar exterior accessory needs to coordinate with the existing siding.

If the item is a direct touch-up on the factory-finished surface, choose Original Material Match. If it is a separate paintable part or accessory, a MyPerfectColor match of CertainTeed 35 Mint can be used to help it blend with the surrounding material.

Because color is only one part of the result. With CertainTeed 35 Mint, the repair can still read differently if the surface has a different sheen, texture, embossing, or substrate than the original siding.

That is why Original Material Match is important for touch up, and why a painted replacement part may still look slightly different from the surrounding factory-finished surface even when the color is matched correctly.

It depends. MyPerfectColor matches the color of the CertainTeed 35 Mint 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 35 Mint 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 35 Mint 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.
