Match of Behr™ MQ5-49 Expressionism *

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used and cleaned, not just on the color name. The same match of MQ5-49 Expressionism will usually look different in matte, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss because the finish changes reflectivity and how the color reads on the surface.

If the item will be handled often, cleaned often, or used outdoors, a more durable finish may make sense. If you are matching an existing painted item, note that the sheen should be part of the reference, because the color code alone does not define the final look.

Many plastic parts can be sprayed with a match of MQ5-49 Expressionism, but plastics vary widely, so test on the actual material before committing to the full project. Clean the part well and make sure the surface is ready for paint.

Using the MyPerfectColor primer can help improve adhesion on difficult plastic surfaces. If the plastic is smooth, flexible, or unknown, a test piece is the safest way to reduce the risk of adhesion problems or poor coverage.

Confirm MQ5-49 Expressionism from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference from the original Behr color, not from a screen alone. Screens can shift the way the color appears, and that can lead to ordering the wrong target.

MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color standard, so the key decision is making sure MQ5-49 Expressionism is the color you actually want before you place the order. This helps you order a match of the correct reference, not just a color that looks close on a display.

Not always. Once MQ5-49 Expressionism is applied, lighting, placement, surface texture, sheen, and nearby colors can all change how the match appears on the finished item.

If the painted part will sit next to an existing surface or be viewed in a specific light, test it on the actual substrate and check it in the real environment before finishing the whole project. That is the best way to judge the final appearance of a match of MQ5-49 Expressionism.

Before ordering, confirm the color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need. Custom color matches are made to order, so it is important to verify those choices before checkout.

Also make sure you are ordering a match of MQ5-49 Expressionism in the format you actually want, such as spray paint or another MyPerfectColor option. Custom-made color orders should be chosen carefully because they are not returnable or refundable.

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.

While we can provide Behr MQ5-49 Expressionism in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another brand.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the brand 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.
