Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of ICI Hobbit's Quest is a dark, muted olive with brown and yellow-green undertones. It reads as an earthy, low-reflectance color rather than a clean green, with a subdued character that can look deeper on small parts and flatter substrates.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected ICI color is practical for vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, railings, mailboxes, downspouts, brackets, shelf supports, frames, hardware, and other sprayable parts that need an earthy green-brown finish. It also works well for PVC, removable fixtures, and small metal or plastic components where a repeatable match matters more than the original brand label.

Because this is a deeper color, surface prep, film build, and sheen choice can affect the result. Lighter or uneven substrates may need additional coats for even color development, and texture or surface wear can be more visible on finished parts. On exterior pieces, direct sun and shade can change how warm or brown the color appears.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ Hobbit's Quest *

Can Hobbit's Quest 344541 be sprayed onto plastic parts?

Yes, MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Hobbit's Quest 344541 can be used on many plastic parts, but plastics vary a lot. Test on the actual item or on a hidden area before painting the full part.

Clean the surface well, scuff it only if that is safe for the plastic, and use the MyPerfectColor primer for better adhesion when the substrate is hard to coat or when the part will be handled often.

How should I spray Hobbit's Quest 344541 to get a smoother finish?

Apply Hobbit's Quest 344541 in light, even coats rather than one heavy pass. Keep the spray moving, overlap each pass slightly, and avoid flooding the surface, which can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy color build.

Let each coat flash and dry according to the product directions before adding the next coat. A test spray on a sample piece helps you confirm coverage and how the color reads on your substrate.

Can Hobbit's Quest 344541 be ordered for small parts and hardware like switch covers or grilles?

Yes. Hobbit's Quest 344541 is available as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for small parts and hardware where a smooth coated finish is needed. It is often used on switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, and similar items.

For best results, choose the format that fits the part, clean and prep the item carefully, and confirm that the finish and substrate are appropriate for a spray application.

Where do I find the SDS for Hobbit's Quest 344541?

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product, not to the color name Hobbit's Quest 344541 by itself. If you need safety information, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets for the exact product you are ordering.

If you are comparing formats, make sure you review the SDS for that exact paint chemistry, since spray paint and other product types can have different safety details.

What prep should I do before painting metal or an existing coating with Hobbit's Quest 344541?

Before applying Hobbit's Quest 344541, clean off dust, grease, and other contamination. On metal, remove rust and loose coating, then scuff sound glossy areas so the new coating can bite in better.

When you are painting over an existing finish, the condition of the old coating can affect adhesion and appearance. Gloss, texture, and surface damage can change how the matched color reads, so a test area is a good way to reduce risk.

How do I find the same color as the ICI Hobbit's Quest in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI Hobbit's Quest, 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.
