Match of ICI™ Buried Treasure *

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so the first step is to test Buried Treasure on the actual plastic part before you paint the full item. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but adhesion can change based on the specific plastic and its surface condition.

If you want better adhesion, use MyPerfectColor primer for the project and make sure the part is clean before coating. For unfamiliar plastics, a test piece is the safest way to reduce the risk of poor adhesion or an uneven finish.

Confirm Buried Treasure from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference from the original ICI color standard before ordering. Screen viewing alone is not reliable enough for ordering because digital displays can shift the color you see.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so the important step is making sure Buried Treasure is the exact target you want. Once the reference is verified, you can order the matching MyPerfectColor paint with less risk of selecting the wrong color.

Yes. Finish and sheen affect how Buried Treasure reflects light, so the same color can look different once it is applied to a part or surface. The color reference stays the same, but the coating finish changes the visual result.

When ordering, treat finish as a practical coating choice, not just an appearance preference. If the item will be viewed next to other finished parts, the sheen level can be just as important as the color match itself.

For metal or a previously painted surface, clean the part first, then scuff the surface if needed so the new coating can bond properly. You should also check for rust, grease, dust, or other contamination before applying Buried Treasure in MyPerfectColor paint.

The condition of the old coating matters. Gloss, texture, and any failing paint can affect how Buried Treasure looks after application, so repairs or removal of weak coating may be needed before you paint.

Yes. A match of ICI Buried Treasure can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for small parts and hardware where a smooth sprayed finish is practical. It is commonly used for items such as switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, and trim pieces.

This format is a good choice when you want a repeatable color match on removable or hard-to-brush items. If the part has an awkward shape or a visible front face, spray application usually makes it easier to get even coverage.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the ICI Buried Treasure 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 Buried Treasure 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 Buried Treasure, 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.
