Match of ICI™ Gentle Touch *

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used, because sheen affects durability, cleanup, reflectivity, and how Gentle Touch reads after application. A flatter finish usually hides surface imperfections better, while higher sheen levels are easier to clean and show more light reflection.

If you are matching an existing painted item, the closest visual result usually comes from selecting a sheen that is similar to the surface you are coating. MyPerfectColor makes a custom-matched paint to the selected brand color reference, so the sheen you choose is a separate ordering decision from the color match itself.

Coverage depends on the size of the item, surface texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats Gentle Touch needs. As a planning guide, a typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet.

If you are coating a rough, porous, dark, or uneven surface, plan for more product than a smooth, light, single-color part. For ordering, it is safer to estimate using the actual surface area and then allow for extra coverage if you expect multiple coats.

Yes. Gentle Touch (ICI 344468) can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color for projects such as baskets, frames, shelving, furniture accents, decor pieces, and similar items. Spray application is useful when the part is small, detailed, or awkward to brush.

This is a color match of Gentle Touch, not the original ICI paint product. For accessories and craft items, the main ordering question is whether you want a spray format or another MyPerfectColor format that fits the object and the surface prep you can do.

Lighting can change how Gentle Touch (ICI 344468) looks after the match is applied. The same color can read differently under bright light, dim light, daylight, or artificial light, and the appearance can also shift depending on where the item is placed and what surfaces are nearby.

Because MyPerfectColor is supplying a match of the selected brand color, the color reference stays the same even though the finished appearance can vary with the viewing conditions. If the item will sit next to other finished surfaces, expect small visual differences from sheen, texture, and surrounding light.

For Gentle Touch (ICI 344468) in spray paint, dry to touch happens within minutes, recoating is usually done in 1 to 2 hours, and full cure takes about two weeks. Those are different stages, so do not treat dry to touch as fully handled or fully cured.

If you are planning a multi-coat project, allow enough time between coats and avoid heavy handling until the paint has had time to cure. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on many small parts and accessories, but the timing between coats still matters for the final result.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the ICI Gentle Touch 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 Gentle Touch 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 Gentle Touch, 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.
