Match of ICI™ Golden Day *

Apply MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI Golden Day in several light coats rather than one heavy coat. Keep the can moving, maintain a consistent spray distance, and overlap each pass slightly so the color lays down evenly. Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking build.

If the part needs full coverage, plan on more than one coat and allow each coat to flash or dry as directed for the product you order. A clean, properly prepared surface will also help the match of ICI Golden Day look more even.

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used and how much reflectivity you want, not just the color itself. The same match of ICI Golden Day can look softer in a flatter finish and more reflective in a glossier finish, so sheen changes the final appearance of the color.

If you are coating a part that must blend with an existing surface, try to match the existing sheen as closely as possible. For items that will be handled often or cleaned more frequently, select the finish that best fits the wear requirements of the project.

Yes. A match of ICI Golden Day can appear different after application because lighting, placement, sheen, nearby colors, and the surface texture all affect how the eye reads the finish. That is normal even when the color match is correct.

If the item will sit next to an older painted surface or in strong daylight, test a small area on the actual substrate before committing to the full project. For high-visibility work, this reduces the chance of a surprise after installation.

Start with cleaning and degreasing so the surface is free of dust, oil, and residue. Lightly scuff smooth surfaces if the substrate allows it, then wipe off the dust, mask off nearby areas, and confirm adhesion on the actual item before spraying the full piece.

Good prep matters more on plastics, metal, and previously coated parts. If the surface is glossy, slick, or unusual, a test application is the safest way to see how MyPerfectColor matched to ICI Golden Day behaves before you commit.

Yes. MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to ICI Golden Day can be a practical choice for baskets, frames, shelving, brackets, decor pieces, and other small items where spray application is easier than brushing. It is often used when the goal is to coordinate an object to a known paint color reference.

Make sure the material can accept paint, prepare it properly, and test the finish on the actual item if the substrate is unfamiliar. That is especially important on wicker, coated metal, plastic, or mixed-material accessories.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the ICI Golden Day 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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI Golden Day, 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.
