Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of ICI Caribbean Spice reads as a warm, medium-deep orange with a brown spice cast and a clear red-gold undertone. It is fairly saturated rather than muted, and the low LRV gives it a noticeably deep appearance on finished parts.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can work well on small parts that need a strong warm accent or a coordinated finish. It is a practical choice for metal brackets, railings, speaker grilles, switch plates, vent covers, mailbox parts, shelf supports, cabinet pulls, furniture feet, and other removable accessories. It can also be used on PVC, hardware, or trim pieces when spray application is easier than brushing.

Because this is a fairly vivid color, coverage may vary with the substrate and what is already underneath it. Darker or uneven surfaces can show through sooner, and the finish you choose can shift the balance between orange and brown. As with any custom spray finish, surface preparation and film build affect the final appearance, especially on plastic, metal, and previously coated parts.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ Caribbean Spice *

How should I prep metal before applying MyPerfectColor paint matched to ICI Caribbean Spice 344223?

For metal, clean off dirt, oil, wax, and other contamination before you paint. If the surface is glossy or has an existing coating, scuff it so the new coating can grip. Remove any rust, loose paint, or failing coating first, because those conditions can affect adhesion and can also change how ICI Caribbean Spice 344223 reads after it is applied.

If the old coating is sound and properly prepared, MyPerfectColor paint matched to ICI Caribbean Spice can usually be applied over it. If the existing finish is peeling, chalking, or uneven, plan on more prep or removal before you order the final product.

Will the finish change how ICI Caribbean Spice 344223 looks after MyPerfectColor applies it?

Yes. Finish and sheen are separate from the color reference, and they change how reflective the coating looks on the item. The same match of ICI Caribbean Spice 344223 can read differently in a flat, satin, or gloss finish because the surface reflects light in different ways.

If you are trying to coordinate with an existing painted part, treat sheen as part of the match decision, not just a cosmetic choice. The color code alone does not define the finish, so order the MyPerfectColor product in the sheen that best fits the project.

Can MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI Caribbean Spice 344223 be used on baskets, frames, or furniture accents?

Yes. A match of ICI Caribbean Spice 344223 in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint is a practical option for baskets, frames, shelving, decor pieces, knobs, brackets, and similar items where spray application is easier than brushing.

This is a good fit when the goal is to coordinate a removable or small object to a known paint color. Make sure the material is prepared correctly for its substrate, and use primer if the surface requires it before applying the color coat.

What spray technique should I use for ICI Caribbean Spice 344223 to avoid runs or uneven color?

Use several light, even coats instead of one heavy pass. Keep the can moving, overlap each pass slightly, and follow the product directions for spray distance and dry time between coats. Heavy wet coats are more likely to run, dry unevenly, or change how ICI Caribbean Spice 344223 looks on the finished item.

If the surface is unusual, textured, or hard to repaint, test first on a hidden area or scrap piece so you can confirm coverage and appearance before coating the final part.

How much MyPerfectColor paint matched to ICI Caribbean Spice 344223 do I need for my project?

Coverage depends on the size of the project, surface texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical spray can covers about 20 square feet with one coat. If you are ordering another MyPerfectColor paint format instead of spray paint, coverage is usually much higher, often between 400 and 600 square feet per gallon depending on the product and surface.

For ICI Caribbean Spice 344223, plan for extra material if you are coating a dark, rough, or uneven surface or if the project needs multiple coats for full, even color.

How do I find the same color as the ICI Caribbean Spice in a different company?
