A match of Color Guild 8005D Wilshire Blue is a medium-dark blue with a cool lean and a muted, slightly gray character. It sits in the deeper part of the blue range without becoming a navy-black, so the color reads calm and restrained rather than bright or saturated.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Color Guild color reference can be used on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, railings, brackets, mailboxes, shutters, and hardware where a coordinated blue finish is needed on small or detailed parts. It also works well for PVC, plastic trims, furniture accents, and removable fixtures after the proper surface prep.

Because this color is moderately deep and not especially high-chroma, finish and substrate still matter. A glossy finish can make it look a little darker and cleaner, while a matte or textured surface can mute it further. Uneven film build, rough substrates, or patchy priming may show as slight shifts in depth or sheen, especially on small parts.

Can 8005D Wilshire Blue be ordered for switch covers, vents, knobs, and other small parts?

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 8005D Wilshire Blue is a practical option for small parts and hardware such as switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, and trim pieces when you want a smooth spray finish.
