Match of ICI™ Bright Cherry *

Yes, but the surface condition matters more than the color name itself. A match of ICI Bright Cherry is a MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint made to match the selected ICI color reference, and metal or an older coating should be cleaned first so oil, dust, and other contamination do not interfere with adhesion.

If the existing coating is sound, scuffing helps give the new coat a better grip. If you see rust, peeling, cracking, or chalky residue, address that before painting. The gloss, texture, and age of the old coating can change how Bright Cherry looks after it is applied, so a test area is a practical way to check the result on the actual substrate.

For MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Bright Cherry, dry-to-touch is typically within minutes. Recoating is generally best after 1 to 2 hours, and full curing takes about two weeks.

Those milestones are different. A coat can feel dry on the surface but still be soft enough to mark if you handle it too soon. For parts like vents, switch covers, brackets, hardware, or other small items, wait until the coating is fully cured before putting the piece back into regular use if you want the finish to resist handling marks as much as possible.

Confirm Bright Cherry from a physical swatch or an existing known color reference, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard, so the most important step is making sure Bright Cherry is the exact target you want before placing the order.

This matters most when you are coordinating removable parts or small items such as trim pieces, covers, fixtures, or accessories. Screen colors can shift with lighting and display settings, so a real-world reference gives you the best basis for ordering a match of Bright Cherry in MyPerfectColor paint.

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used and how you want the finished surface to behave, not just on the color name. Sheen affects durability, reflectivity, cleanup, and how Bright Cherry reads on the final part.

Higher gloss can make the matched color look brighter and show surface texture, film build, and prep issues more readily. Lower sheen usually reduces reflection and can be more forgiving on parts with minor surface variation. If you are coating metal, plastic, wood, or a previously painted item, the sheen you pick should fit the substrate and the expected handling of the object.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product chemistry, not the Bright Cherry color name alone. If you need the Safety Data Sheet for the product you are ordering, use the MyPerfectColor SDS page for the matched paint product.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the ICI Bright Cherry 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 Bright Cherry 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 Bright Cherry, 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.
