Match of ICI™ Southern Pine *

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used and how much reflectivity you want in the finished coating. With Southern Pine, a flatter sheen will usually show less reflection, while a higher sheen will be easier to wipe clean and can look more reflective on the finished item.

The same Southern Pine color match can look different as sheen changes, so it is worth matching the finish to the actual object you are painting, not just the color name. If the part is visible in strong light or will be handled often, sheen choice can matter as much as the color match itself.

Before you place a custom order for Southern Pine, confirm the exact brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type you need, the sheen, and the quantity. That helps avoid ordering a match in the wrong format or finish.

Custom-made color matches should be chosen carefully because they are made to your selected reference. If you are not sure which Southern Pine reference you want, verify it before ordering so the match is made to the correct target.

Start with a clean, dry surface. Remove dirt, dust, grease, and any loose coating before applying a Southern Pine matched coating. If the surface is glossy or already coated and the material allows it, a light scuff can help improve adhesion.

Mask off nearby areas you do not want painted, and test the Southern Pine match on the actual surface before doing the full application. That is especially helpful on metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated parts where the substrate can affect the final result.

Use light, even passes with steady overlap and keep the can moving so the finish does not build too heavy in one spot. Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking color build. This matters on small parts like vents, speaker grilles, PVC pipe, hardware, and fixtures. A few thin coats are usually safer than one wet coat.

Confirm Southern Pine from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference whenever possible. A screen image can vary by device and lighting, so it is not the best way to approve the target color for a custom match.

MyPerfectColor matches to the selected brand color standard, so the key decision is making sure Southern Pine is the exact reference you want before ordering. That is the best way to reduce approval risk on a custom match.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the ICI Southern Pine 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 Southern Pine 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 Southern Pine, 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.
