Match of ICI™ Regal Wave *

Primer may be needed for Regal Wave depending on the surface, its condition, and the paint system you are using. A primer is not always required, but on bare, repaired, glossy, or uneven substrates it can improve adhesion and help the finish build more evenly. Check the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product you plan to order so you can match the surface prep to the job.

Plastics vary a lot, so test Regal Wave on the actual plastic before painting the full part. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but some low-energy surfaces still benefit from extra prep. Using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can improve adhesion, especially on difficult plastics or parts that will be handled often.

For items like covers, trims, housings, or accessory parts, do a small test on the same material first so you can confirm adhesion and appearance before committing to the whole piece.

A match of ICI Regal Wave is a practical choice when you need a match of Regal Wave on small or awkward items that are easier to spray than brush. Common uses include trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and other parts that need to coordinate with an existing brand color.

It is also useful for removable or repeatable parts such as grilles, brackets, covers, displays, and similar components where a custom-matched spray finish is more efficient than trying to coat the item by hand.

Confirm Regal Wave from a physical swatch, a known existing painted part, or another trusted original color reference before ordering. Screen viewing alone can be misleading, and MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color target rather than to how the color appears on your monitor.

If you are matching an existing item, compare against the actual reference in the same lighting you will use to approve the project. That helps reduce the risk of ordering a match of the wrong Regal Wave target.

Coverage for Regal Wave depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. As a general planning guide, a typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

If the item is porous, heavily textured, or being coated over a darker or uneven base, plan for more than one coat and order extra so you do not run short before the job is complete.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the ICI Regal Wave 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 Regal Wave 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 Regal Wave, 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.
