A match of Behr 1A40-5 Shipside is a medium blue with a cool undertone and a slight violet cast. It has moderate chroma, so it reads clearer than a muted slate but does not push into a very bright blue. With an LRV of 24.92, it sits in the deeper midrange rather than a light, reflective blue.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this Behr color can be useful on vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, railings, mailbox hardware, shutters, brackets, trim pieces, and other small parts that need a consistent blue finish. It is a practical choice for metal, plastic, wood, wicker, and previously coated accessories once the surface is properly prepared.

Because the color is moderately saturated and fairly deep, the final look can shift with finish and substrate. A gloss or satin finish may make the blue appear a little richer and show surface texture more clearly, while a flatter finish can soften it. If the base material is dark, uneven, or contrasting, additional coats may be needed for even coverage.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Behr™ 1A40-5 Shipside *

How much paint should I plan for 1A40-5 Shipside by Behr if I am spraying multiple parts?

Coverage depends on the size of the item, the surface texture, the hiding power of the color, the application method, 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 a match of 1A40-5 Shipside, plan for extra material if you are coating rough, porous, dark, or uneven surfaces, or if the job has edges and back sides that also need coverage. That will help you avoid running short before the finish is even.

How do I confirm I am ordering the right MyPerfectColor match for 1A40-5 Shipside by Behr?

Confirm 1A40-5 Shipside from a physical swatch or a known existing Behr color reference, not from how it looks on a screen. MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color target, so the key step is making sure the target color is the one you actually want before you place the order.

The code and name identify the color reference only. They do not tell you the sheen, product line, or how an existing painted surface has aged.

Can I use MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to 1A40-5 Shipside on plastic parts?

Yes, but plastics vary widely, so test on the actual material first. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but the exact plastic, surface texture, and prep can change the result.

Using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion. Clean and prepare the part first, then test 1A40-5 Shipside on a small hidden area or a spare piece before coating the whole item.

How do I choose a finish for 1A40-5 Shipside in MyPerfectColor custom paint?

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used and cleaned. Higher gloss finishes usually reflect more light and are easier to wipe down, while flatter finishes usually reduce reflection and can be less revealing on minor surface flaws.

The same 1A40-5 Shipside color can look different as the sheen changes, so select the finish that fits the part's wear and cleaning needs before you order.

What should I expect when 1A40-5 Shipside by Behr is applied in different lighting or next to other surfaces?

Even after you order the correct match, 1A40-5 Shipside can read differently in daylight, indoor light, shadows, and near nearby surfaces or textures. Placement, gloss, and the material underneath can all change how the color appears once it is applied.

If the item will sit beside an existing painted surface, expect some visual difference from aging, sheen, and texture even when the color match itself is correct.

The need for primer depends on the specific paint and the substrate being painted.

How do I convert Behr 1A40-5 Shipside to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Behr 1A40-5 Shipside 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.

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.
