Match of ICI™ Susie Q *

Plan by total surface area, texture, hiding power, application method, and the number of coats you expect to use. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet. If you are coating items like PVC pipe, vents, grilles, trim pieces, brackets, or mailboxes, count each part and allow extra if the surface is rough, porous, or going over a darker base.

For Susie Q 345105, the safest approach is to size the order for the full project and not just the visible face of one part. That helps avoid running short if you need additional coats for even coverage.

Use several light, even coats instead of one heavy coat. Keep the can moving, hold a consistent distance, and overlap passes slightly so the film builds evenly. Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking color build.

On items such as switch covers, speaker grilles, small hardware, trim pieces, or removable fixtures, it often helps to spray the edges first and then the broader faces. Let each coat flash off according to the directions for the product you ordered before applying the next coat.

Primer depends on the substrate, the condition of the surface, and the paint type you choose. It is often a good idea on bare, porous, glossy, or problem surfaces, and it can help improve adhesion and make coverage more predictable.

For Susie Q 345105 on PVC, metal, plastic, or a previously coated part, follow the prep guidance for the exact MyPerfectColor product you are ordering. A primer never hurts and can only improve adhesion, but it is not always required.

No. The same Susie Q 345105 color can look different in matte, satin, or gloss because the finish changes how light reflects from the surface and how deep the color appears.

If you are coating a part that will sit next to an existing painted surface, choose the finish carefully before ordering. MyPerfectColor can match the selected brand color reference, but the final look still depends on sheen, substrate texture, and how the item is painted.

Confirm Susie Q 345105 from a physical swatch, a known sample, or an existing original-brand reference before you place the order. Screen viewing can shift color, so a monitor is not the best approval source.

MyPerfectColor matches to the selected brand color reference, not to what a screen shows. That matters most when the new part will sit beside an older painted surface, a legacy fixture, or another item that must coordinate with the same ICI color.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the ICI Susie Q 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 Susie Q 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 Susie Q, 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.
