Match of Behr™ PPU5-7 Studio Taupe *

Use light, even coats and keep the spray moving so the film builds gradually. Slightly overlap each pass and avoid heavy passes, since too much material at once can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking finish. For best results, apply the match of Behr PPU5-7 Studio Taupe to a properly prepared surface and let each coat flash off before the next coat.

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used, cleaned, and viewed. Lower-sheen finishes usually hide texture better and reflect less light, while higher-sheen finishes are generally easier to wipe clean but can make surface flaws and application marks more noticeable. Because sheen also changes how Behr PPU5-7 Studio Taupe reads on the finished item, match the finish to the part and the environment, not just the color name.

Lighting, placement, nearby surfaces, sheen, and substrate texture can all change how Behr PPU5-7 Studio Taupe appears once it is on the item. The same matched color can read a little lighter, darker, warmer, or cooler depending on the surroundings and the surface it is sprayed on. If the part will sit next to an existing painted area, test on the actual surface first so you can judge the result in the real lighting.

Before you order, confirm the exact Behr color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the finish, and the quantity you need. A match of Behr PPU5-7 Studio Taupe is used here as the color target, and MyPerfectColor supplies its own custom-matched paint rather than the original Behr paint product. Because custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, it is important to verify the details before placing the order.

Start with a clean, dry, sound surface. Remove dirt, grease, wax, and loose coating, then lightly scuff where appropriate so the new coating can bond better. Mask off areas you do not want painted, and test the MyPerfectColor match of Behr PPU5-7 Studio Taupe on the actual surface before committing to the full project. Good prep matters even more on metal, plastic, and previously coated parts.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use.

The MyPerfectColor 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat. Keep in mind that it is difficult to gauge spray paint need as the coverage is highly dependent on how it is applied. Learn more about how spray paint works at MyPerfectColor.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Behr PPU5-7 Studio Taupe 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.

While we can provide Behr PPU5-7 Studio Taupe 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.
