Match of Behr™ 1012 Swiss Coffee *

Clean the surface first so dirt, grease, wax, and loose residue do not interfere with adhesion. If the item is glossy or previously coated, a light scuff and proper masking can help the new coating lay down more evenly.

Because Behr 1012 Swiss Coffee is being supplied as a MyPerfectColor custom match, it is smart to test the product on the actual substrate before painting the full part. This is especially useful on metal, plastic, or a previously painted surface where prep and surface texture can change the final result.

Custom color orders matched to Behr 1012 Swiss Coffee should be confirmed carefully before checkout, because they are made specifically for your order and are not returnable or refundable. Check the brand color reference, product type, sheen, and quantity before you place the order.

If the match will be used on a visible part or beside an existing coated surface, verify the exact Behr 1012 Swiss Coffee reference and the format you need, such as spray paint or another MyPerfectColor product type, so you avoid ordering the wrong item.

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, application method, hiding power, and how many coats are needed. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet.

For Behr 1012 Swiss Coffee, plan carefully if you are coating a rough, porous, or dark substrate, because those conditions can increase the amount needed. If you are painting multiple small parts or a larger item with edges and recesses, it is usually better to estimate conservatively and allow for extra coats.

Finish is a practical coating choice, not just a visual preference. The sheen you order changes reflectivity, and that can make the same Behr 1012 Swiss Coffee color read differently after it is applied.

The selected finish can also show substrate texture, film build, and application marks more or less strongly. If you need Behr 1012 Swiss Coffee on a part that will sit near other painted pieces, choose the finish that fits the project and test it on the actual surface so you understand how the match will look when dry.

Apply Behr 1012 Swiss Coffee in light, even coats rather than one heavy pass. Keep the can moving, hold a consistent distance, and overlap each pass slightly so the color builds evenly without runs or puddling.

Heavy coats can cause uneven sheen, drips, or a muddy looking build, especially on small parts, trim, or fixtures. Let each coat dry per the product directions before recoating, and do a quick test spray on a sample piece or hidden area if the substrate is unfamiliar.

While we can provide Behr 1012 Swiss Coffee in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another brand.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the brand 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.
