A match of ICI Secret Affair is a very light, low-chroma warm neutral with a soft beige-gray cast. It reads close to off-white, but the slight warmth keeps it from feeling stark or cool. In MyPerfectColor paint, it is a match to the selected brand color reference for parts that need a quiet, pale finish.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Secret Affair can be used on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, shelving brackets, picture frames, cabinet hardware, railings, PVC trim pieces, and mailbox details when a light coordinated finish is needed on small or awkward parts. The soft neutral character also suits louvered shutters, access panels, and fixture covers where the color should recede rather than call attention to the part.
Because this color is very light, darker substrates, patchy repairs, or strong underlying colors may show through more readily and can take extra coats for even coverage. The final look can also shift with gloss level, film build, and surface texture, so prep and application technique matter on smooth plastic, metal, and previously coated pieces.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and its chemistry, not to the color name alone. For ICI Secret Affair, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the exact product you plan to order: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.
Review the SDS for the specific format you are buying, since spray paint and other product types can have different handling and safety details.
Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used and how much reflectivity you want, since finish affects durability, cleanup, and how ICI Secret Affair reads on the finished surface. A higher-gloss finish will look more reflective, while a lower-gloss finish will look less reflective and may be better for some parts.
If you are matching an existing piece, try to match the existing sheen as closely as possible because the same color can look different at different gloss levels. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI Secret Affair is available in formats intended for practical ordering decisions like this.
Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to ICI Secret Affair can be used on many plastic parts, but plastics vary a lot. The actual plastic type, surface texture, and prep steps all affect adhesion, so a test on the real part is important before painting the full item.
Using the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel can help improve adhesion on difficult surfaces. Clean the part well, follow the prep steps for that substrate, and test first if the plastic is unknown or has a slick, low-energy surface.
Confirm ICI Secret Affair from a physical swatch, an original brand color reference, or another known existing sample rather than relying on how it looks on a screen. MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard, so the target color needs to be verified before ordering.
This helps reduce approval risk, especially if the color will be used on a part that sits next to other painted items or needs a repeatable match across multiple pieces.
Yes. A match of ICI Secret Affair in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint is practical for switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, and other small parts where a smooth sprayed finish is useful.
This is a good option when the part is removable or when spray application gives better coverage and a more even finish than brushing. Just make sure the substrate is prepared correctly and that the finish you order fits the part's use.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI Secret Affair, 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.
