Match of ICI™ Acadia Gem *

Coverage depends on the surface area, texture, how well the substrate hides, and how many coats you need. If you are ordering MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Acadia Gem by ICI, a typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

If the part is rough, porous, or a dark color that needs extra hiding, plan for more paint. For larger projects, measure the total area and add some margin for overspray and a second coat if needed. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats usually cover about 400 to 600 square feet per coat, but spray paint is the right reference for small parts and detailed work.

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used, not just on the color name. With Acadia Gem by ICI, a glossier finish usually wipes clean more easily and can be more durable on frequently handled parts, while a flatter finish reduces shine but may show wear sooner.

Keep in mind that the same matched color can look different as sheen changes. If you want the most practical result, match the finish to the object you are painting and expect the appearance of Acadia Gem to shift a bit between matte, satin, and gloss levels.

Yes, but plastic is not all the same, so test on the actual part first. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but prep and the exact material can change the result when you are applying a match of Acadia Gem by ICI.

If the surface is hard to bond to, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel to improve adhesion. Clean the part well, make sure it is dry, and verify the fit on a small area before painting the full item.

Not always. Once the match of Acadia Gem by ICI is applied, lighting, sheen, and nearby surfaces can all change how it reads on the finished item. The color reference stays the same, but the eye can see it differently depending on where and how it is installed.

For the most reliable result, judge the finished piece in the lighting where it will actually be used. Warm indoor light, daylight, shadow, and neighboring finishes can all make the same MyPerfectColor match of Acadia Gem appear a little different.

The SDS is tied to the exact MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the Acadia Gem by ICI color name alone. If you are ordering a match of Acadia Gem by ICI, look up the Safety Data Sheets for the specific MyPerfectColor paint format you plan to use.

The MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page is the place to check the SDS before purchase or use so you can confirm the handling and safety information for the product you are ordering.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the ICI Acadia Gem in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

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. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. 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.

MyPerfectColor offers custom spray paint matched to ICI Acadia Gem which enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish. It is difficult to gauge spray paint coverage because it depends on how you apply it and the amount of overspray, but generally the 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. This paint sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI Acadia Gem, we don't provide any crossover information because this is a subjective determination. Every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, so determining which color is the best approximation is a judgement call.

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