Match of ICI™ Soft Shimmer *

Choose the finish based on how durable, washable, and reflective you want the finished part to be. A glossier finish usually looks more reflective and is often easier to clean, while a flatter finish reduces reflectivity.

For ICI Soft Shimmer 345040, the color match stays the same reference, but the finish can change how the coating reads on the final item. If the part will be handled often or cleaned frequently, pick the sheen that fits that use rather than choosing by color name alone.

Custom-made color matches should be chosen carefully because they are not returnable or refundable. Before ordering MyPerfectColor paint matched to ICI Soft Shimmer 345040, confirm the brand color reference, product type, sheen, and quantity.

This matters because the same color reference can look different depending on the finish, substrate, and application method. Verifying those details up front helps reduce ordering mistakes.

Coverage depends on the size of the item, surface texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats the project needs. For spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, but the exact amount still depends on the project. If the surface is rough, porous, or dark, plan for extra material so you do not run short before the job is complete.

For spray paint, dry-to-touch happens within minutes, recoating is usually possible in one to two hours, and full cure takes about two weeks. Those are different stages, so a part can feel dry before it is ready for full handling or heavy use.

If the item will be installed, assembled, or exposed to wear soon after painting, allow enough time for the coating to cure. That helps the finished part hold up better in service.

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI Soft Shimmer 345040 is practical for small parts and hardware when you want a smooth sprayed finish on items like switch covers, vents, knobs, speaker grilles, brackets, and trim pieces.

It is a good option when the part can be removed or masked and you want a repeatable color on metal, plastic, wood, or other prepared surfaces. Surface preparation still matters, and a test application is smart on unfamiliar substrates.

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.

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 Soft Shimmer, 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.
