Match of Behr™ MQ2-46 Basswood *

Confirm MQ2-46 Basswood from a physical brand swatch, a known existing painted part, or another reliable color reference before ordering. Screen images can shift the color enough to create a mismatch risk.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom-matched paint to the selected brand color reference. It is not the original Behr paint product, so the important step is verifying that MQ2-46 Basswood is the target color you want matched.

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so MQ2-46 Basswood should be tested on the actual material before you commit to the full project. Different plastics can have different surface energy, texture, and adhesion behavior.

For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel on the plastic if the substrate calls for it. A test spray on the real part is the best way to confirm adhesion and appearance before ordering the full quantity.

For metal or a previously coated part, start with cleaning to remove dust, grease, and contamination. If the surface is glossy or smooth, scuff it so the new coating has better mechanical adhesion.

Check for rust, failing paint, or loose edges first, because those issues can show through or reduce adhesion. The final look of MQ2-46 Basswood can also shift with the texture, gloss, and condition of the old coating underneath.

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

If you are using another MyPerfectColor paint format, coverage is often about 400 to 600 square feet, depending on the product and application. For MQ2-46 Basswood, plan extra product if the substrate is rough, dark, porous, or likely to need more than one coat.

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used and how you want the finished surface to perform, not just how the color name sounds. Higher gloss usually gives more reflectivity and can be easier to clean, while lower gloss reduces shine.

Sheen also changes how MQ2-46 Basswood reads on the finished item, so the same color can look different in flat, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss. If you are matching an existing part, confirm the sheen of that surface before placing the order.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Behr MQ2-46 Basswood enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish in any color in any sheen. It sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

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 MQ2-46 Basswood 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 MQ2-46 Basswood 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.
