MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected ICI color Slate Brown is a muted, dark brown with low chroma and a quiet earthy character. It reads as a brown-gray rather than a clean red brown, with a slight warm olive undertone that can shift a bit depending on sheen, lighting, and substrate.
This color is useful for spray-painted parts that need a subdued, coordinated finish on small or awkward surfaces. It can work on vents, switch covers, railings, brackets, mailboxes, speaker grilles, PVC trim, hardware, shelving supports, and furniture accents. It is also a practical choice for maintenance pieces, retrofit parts, and removable components that need to match a known brown reference across metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces after proper preparation.
Because Slate Brown is relatively dark and muted, surface condition and finish can be noticeable in the final result. Thin coverage, gloss differences, or an uneven substrate may make the color read lighter, grayer, or less uniform, so even film build and good prep matter. On exterior parts, the final appearance can vary with the base material, coating thickness, and the finish selected for the project.

How should I spray MyPerfectColor match of ICI Slate Brown 345022 for smoother coverage?

How do I find the same color as the ICI Slate Brown in a different company?
While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI Slate Brown, 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.
