Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of Valspar 10068 Magic Stone is a very dark, low-chroma gray-green with a muted stone character. It reads close to charcoal at a glance, but the slight green cast keeps it from looking purely black or brown.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color is useful on small parts and fixtures where a deep, subdued finish is needed: metal vents, speaker grilles, switch covers, cabinet hardware, shelf brackets, railings, mailboxes, shutters, PVC trim, and other removable components. It can also be used on maker projects, display pieces, and equipment housings that need a dark, restrained coating rather than a brighter accent.

Because the color is so dark and close to neutral, surface prep and finish will affect the result. Gloss levels can make scratches, texture, and seam lines more noticeable, while satin or matte finishes usually read flatter and more stone-like. On lighter or uneven substrates, a uniform base coat may help the final color look even.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Valspar™ 10068 Magic Stone *

How do I confirm that Valspar 10068 Magic Stone is the right color before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm Valspar 10068 Magic Stone from a physical swatch, an approved sample, or another known existing color reference before you order. Screen images can shift with lighting and display settings, so they are not the best source for final approval.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom-matched paint to that Valspar color reference. Verifying the target color first helps you avoid ordering the wrong match, especially when the finished part will sit next to an existing painted surface.

What finish should I choose for Valspar 10068 Magic Stone if I am ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used and how much reflectivity you want on the finished surface. Sheen affects durability, cleanup, and how the matched color reads on the part.

For Valspar 10068 Magic Stone, the same color can look different in matte, satin, or gloss finishes, so confirm the sheen before ordering. MyPerfectColor can make a custom match of the color in the format you need, including spray paint for parts and fixtures where application method matters.

How much MyPerfectColor paint do I need for Valspar 10068 Magic Stone?

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats are needed. For spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, depending on the product and surface.

If you are coating a rough, porous, dark, or uneven surface with a match of Valspar 10068 Magic Stone, plan for more material than you would for a smooth, well-prepared surface. It is safer to order enough for full coverage plus any extra needed for a second coat or testing.

Can I return a custom MyPerfectColor order for Valspar 10068 Magic Stone if the color is not what I expected?

Custom color matches should be chosen carefully because they are made to order and are not returnable or refundable. Before placing the order, confirm Valspar 10068 Magic Stone from the correct brand reference, then verify the product format, sheen, and quantity.

This is especially important when ordering a MyPerfectColor match of Valspar 10068 Magic Stone for a project where the part, fixture, or surface needs to coordinate with an existing color reference.

What surface prep should I do before applying MyPerfectColor paint matched to Valspar 10068 Magic Stone?

Start by cleaning the surface, removing dirt, grease, and loose material. Light scuffing can help when the substrate and existing coating allow it, and masking protects adjacent areas that should not be painted.

Before doing the full application, test the match on the actual surface if possible. Prep matters because the same match of Valspar 10068 Magic Stone can look different on metal, plastic, wood, or an already coated item if the surface is not prepared well.
