Coverage for Blue Crab depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet.

If you are coating a rough, porous, dark, or uneven surface, plan for more paint than you would need on a smooth, light, uniform surface. If you are unsure, estimate for the full number of coats you expect to apply.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Blue Crab is useful when you need to coat small parts or awkward items that are harder to brush evenly. Common examples include trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, and accessories.

It is also practical for removable parts, equipment covers, and other pieces where spray application gives more even coverage than a brush. Make sure the substrate is prepared correctly for the material you are painting.

No. Finish changes how Blue Crab reflects light, so the same color can look different in different sheens and on different substrates. The code identifies the color target, but it does not define sheen or how an existing painted surface has aged.

If the item has to match a specific installed surface, choose the finish that best fits the job and test it on the actual material whenever possible. That helps you judge the color under the same reflectivity and texture conditions as the finished item.

MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Blue Crab is usually dry to the touch within minutes, should be recoated in about one to two hours, and is fully cured in about two weeks.

Dry to the touch, recoat, and full cure are different stages, so do not treat them as the same thing. If you need to handle the part, give it extra time before moving, stacking, or installing it.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the ICI Blue Crab 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 Blue Crab 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 Blue Crab, 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.
