Match of Behr™ 1B42-1 Skyway *

Use a physical Behr swatch or a known existing painted reference to verify Behr 1B42-1 Skyway before you order. Screen images can shift the look of the color, and MyPerfectColor matches to the selected brand color reference rather than to an aged or weathered surface.

If the item you are matching sits next to older paint, a test sample is the safer way to reduce ordering risk.

Yes. If you order a match of Behr 1B42-1 Skyway in a spray format from MyPerfectColor, use light, even coats and keep the can moving so the finish does not build up too fast. Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a color that looks muddy.

Apply each coat only after the previous coat has flashed or dried according to the product instructions, and overlap passes evenly for a smoother result.

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, shape, hiding power, application method, and how many coats Behr 1B42-1 Skyway will need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but real-world coverage can be lower on rough, porous, or highly detailed parts.

If you are coating a large area, plan for extra material rather than assuming one can will cover every surface the same way.

Yes. The finish changes reflectivity, so the same Behr 1B42-1 Skyway match can look different in gloss, satin, or flatter sheens. Higher gloss reflects more light, while flatter finishes reduce reflection.

The substrate also matters. Smooth metal, textured plastic, and an older coated surface can all make the color read a little differently after application.

Before applying a match of Behr 1B42-1 Skyway to metal or over an old coating, clean off dirt, grease, and chalking, remove rust, and scuff glossy areas so the new coating can bond properly. Make sure the existing coating is sound, because peeling or failing paint can affect the final result.

Gloss, texture, and surface contamination can all change how the matched color looks after it is applied, so proper prep helps reduce surprises.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new.

If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

While we can provide Behr 1B42-1 Skyway 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.
