A match of ICI Light's Out is a very dark charcoal with a cool blue-gray lean. The low chroma keeps it subdued rather than colorful, and the low LRV means it reads close to black in lower light while still holding a slight gray-blue character.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, metal brackets, railings, mailbox parts, door hardware, appliance trim, shelving supports, and PVC or other small fixtures where a dark finish needs to look consistent across multiple parts. It also works well for kiosk components, display frames, and maintenance pieces that should stay visually quiet rather than stand out.

On a color this dark, surface prep and sheen tend to matter because scratches, texture, and film-build differences can show once the coating dries. Coverage usually builds more evenly over a clean, uniform substrate, but older lighter coatings or rough plastics may still need extra coats for full depth. For exterior pieces, wear at edges and high-contact points can become more noticeable over time, so proper prep and finish selection are important.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ Light's Out *

How will finish affect MyPerfectColor match of Light's Out ICI 344629 after it is applied?

Finish changes how Light's Out ICI 344629 reflects light, so the same color can look different in matte, satin, or gloss. Lower sheen usually hides surface texture better, while higher sheen reflects more light and can make the color read differently on the finished item.

If you are matching an existing coated part, try to match the sheen as closely as possible. If you are coating a new part, choose the finish based on how much reflection, cleanability, and durability the item needs.

Where can I find the SDS for Light's Out ICI 344629?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product made to match Light's Out ICI 344629, not to the color name by itself. Look up the Safety Data Sheets for the specific MyPerfectColor paint product you plan to order.

If you need the SDS before buying, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page and verify the product matches the format you are ordering, such as spray paint or another MyPerfectColor product type.

Do I need primer before painting with Light's Out ICI 344629?

Primer depends on the substrate, its condition, and the type of paint system you are using. As a rule of thumb, primer never hurts and can improve adhesion, but it is not always required.

Primer is often worth using on bare, patched, porous, glossy, slick, or otherwise difficult surfaces. For the best result, check the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product matched to Light's Out ICI 344629 and test on the actual material when the surface is unfamiliar.

Which finish should I choose for Light's Out ICI 344629?

How should I spray Light's Out ICI 344629 for the best result?

Use light, even coats when spraying MyPerfectColor match of Light's Out ICI 344629. Keep the can moving, overlap passes consistently, and avoid heavy application that can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a cloudy build.
