Match of ICI™ Paper Lantern *

Paper Lantern (ICI 344795) can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for many plastic projects, but plastics vary a lot. Because of that, test on the actual part first rather than assuming every plastic will behave the same.

If you want better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel before painting. That is especially helpful on difficult or low-energy plastics. Clean the surface well and follow the prep steps for the specific part you are painting.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to Paper Lantern (ICI 344795) as a color name by itself. Look up the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets for the exact product format you plan to order.

If you are comparing product options, check the SDS for that specific paint type rather than assuming one SDS applies to every format.

After a match of Paper Lantern (ICI 344795) is applied, the finished item can still look different depending on lighting, sheen, surface texture, placement, and nearby surfaces. That is normal and can change how the same color reads once it is on the part.

If the item will sit next to an existing painted surface, a test application on the actual material is the most reliable way to judge the result in the real setting.

For Paper Lantern (ICI 344795) in spray paint, expect dry to touch in minutes, recoating in 1 to 2 hours, and full cure in about 2 weeks. These are different milestones, so a surface that feels dry is not fully cured yet.

If you plan to add more coats, let each coat flash off before the next one. Do not put the part into heavy service or reinstall it as though it is fully cured just because the surface no longer feels tacky.

Paper Lantern (ICI 344795) is a practical match for small parts and awkward shapes such as trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and removable components. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint is often easier to apply than brushing on items with edges, grilles, curves, or tight access.

If the part will be handled often or exposed outdoors, make sure the surface is prepared correctly and choose the format that fits the material and the job.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the ICI Paper Lantern 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.

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 Paper Lantern, 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.
