A match of ICI America's Cup is a deep blue-gray with a cool undertone and low light reflectance. Its LRV of 8.11 makes it a very dark color, and the gray content keeps the blue subdued rather than bright or vivid.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be useful for vents, return-air grilles, switch covers, speaker grilles, camera housings, conduit, bracketry, mailbox parts, railings, and small furniture accents. It is also practical for PVC pipe, shutters, or other exterior fixtures where a darker blue-gray needs to be carried onto a separate part or replacement piece.

Because this is a dark color, surface prep and finish will affect the result noticeably. Scratches, sanding marks, and sheen differences can show more clearly on metal and smooth plastics, so a clean primered surface and even film build help the color read consistently. Multiple light coats are often easier to control than one heavy coat, especially on detailed parts and edges.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ America's Cup *

What should I confirm before ordering MyPerfectColor custom paint for America's Cup 344068 by ICI?

Confirm the exact brand color reference, America's Cup 344068 by ICI, along with the product format, sheen, and quantity before you place the order. MyPerfectColor makes a custom-matched paint to that color reference, not the original ICI paint, and custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable.

If the project has multiple parts, order enough at once so the color and finish stay consistent across the job.

How should I prepare a surface before using MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to America's Cup 344068?

Start with a clean, dry surface. Remove dust, oil, wax, and loose coating, then scuff lightly where the material can benefit from it, mask nearby areas, and test on the actual surface before painting the full item.

America's Cup 344068 can look different on metal, plastic, wood, or an older painted finish, so a small test spray is the safest way to confirm adhesion and appearance before you commit.

Can I use MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to America's Cup 344068 on switch covers, vents, or hardware?

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to America's Cup 344068 is practical for switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, knobs, brackets, trim pieces, access panels, and similar small parts.

Spray paint is usually the better choice when the item is removable, has edges or openings, or needs a smoother finish than a brush can easily leave. Make sure the part is properly cleaned and prepared before spraying.

Which sheen should I choose for a match of America's Cup 344068 from ICI?

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used and cleaned, not just on the color name.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI America's Cup, 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.
