Match of James Hardie™ JH40-30 Timber Bark *

For direct touch up on factory-finished building materials, choose an Original Material Match product for James Hardie JH40-30 Timber Bark because it includes a sheen match. That is the safest choice when you are repairing a scratch, rub mark, edge damage, or a missed cut on the original surface.

If you are painting a separate replacement part or an accessory that only needs to coordinate with Timber Bark, other MyPerfectColor formats may be used for that job. They are not the right choice for direct touch up on the factory-finished surface.

A match of James Hardie JH40-30 Timber Bark is the correct color reference, but an older installed surface can look different because of sun exposure, weathering, chalking, moisture, texture, sheen change, and batch variation. That means a repair beside existing siding may not read exactly the same even when the color match is correct.

If you have access to a removed piece, sheltered sample, or another less-weathered reference, use that as the best visual check before ordering. Original Material Match is still the right touch up path, but it does not remove the risk created by an aged surface.

For direct touch up on James Hardie JH40-30 Timber Bark, use Original Material Match because it includes a sheen match. That makes it the correct choice for factory-finished siding repairs where you are working on the original surface.

Water-based housepaint, urethane, and epoxy can still be color-matched options, but they are better suited to separate parts, accessories, or broader repainting jobs. They should not be treated as direct touch-up products for factory-finished building materials.

A match of James Hardie JH40-30 Timber Bark is a building-material color reference for the siding family, so it is useful when a replacement board, trim piece, soffit, fascia, shutter, or nearby accessory needs to blend with existing James Hardie material.

If you are repainting a separate part to coordinate with Timber Bark, choose the MyPerfectColor format that fits that part and substrate. If you are repairing the factory-finished siding itself, use Original Material Match so the sheen is part of the match.

Exterior exposure can change how James Hardie JH40-30 Timber Bark looks after installation. UV, rain, moisture, dirt, and chalking can alter the way the color reads on site compared with a fresh reference.

When the part is weather-exposed, check the actual installed surface and not just the color name. Original Material Match is still the correct touch up path for the factory-finished surface, but site conditions can affect how close the repair appears next to the surrounding material.

It depends. MyPerfectColor matches the color of the James Hardie JH40-30 Timber Bark but may not match the sheen. If you see Custom Sheen as a sheen option, this means we also match the sheen of the material, otherwise you would need to pick the closest sheen available. However, keep in mind that our version of the James Hardie JH40-30 Timber Bark is based on matching an official James Hardie color sample. The color and sheen of your specific James Hardie parts may vary. If your material is not new and has been exposed to the weather, then it is likely that the color has changed over time. MyPerfectColor samples not been exposed to sunlight and weather. If you need a touch up application, you may need to send us a part so we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.
