A match of Behr P170-4 Sugar Poppy reads as a warm coral pink with a clear red-orange undertone and moderate color strength. It sits between soft pink and spirited coral, with enough chroma to feel distinct but not so much that it turns into a bright orange-red.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be useful on small, sprayable parts that need a warm accent finish or a repeatable color reference. It can work on metal frames, shelf brackets, lamp bases, switch covers, speaker grilles, mailboxes, railings, shutters, planters, hardware, and PVC trim pieces, as well as maker projects and accessory parts made from plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces.

Because this is a fairly chromatic color, coverage may take more than one coat for an even result, especially over dark or uneven substrates. Its LRV suggests it will not act like a pale tint, but film build and surface preparation still affect how open or dense the color reads. Finish also matters: glossier coatings can make the warm undertone and contrast appear stronger, while flatter finishes usually soften the look.

When you order a match of the selected brand color, you are getting MyPerfectColor paint made to match that reference, not the original brand product. For best results, use proper prep and apply to a complete part or component when possible, since sheen and texture differences can change the final appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Behr™ P170-4 Sugar Poppy *

What prep should I do before applying P170-4 Sugar Poppy by Behr in MyPerfectColor spray paint?

Before using MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to P170-4 Sugar Poppy by Behr, clean the item, remove grease or wax, and let it dry fully. If the surface is smooth and the coating needs help anchoring, light scuffing may be appropriate. Mask areas you do not want painted, and test the match on the actual surface before coating the full part.

That test is useful because the same color reference can look different on metal, plastic, wood, or an older painted surface after the finish goes on.

How much P170-4 Sugar Poppy by Behr spray paint do I need for my project?

Coverage depends on the size of the part, the surface texture, the hiding power needed, the application method, and how many coats you plan to use. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats usually cover about 400 to 600 square feet per coat.

If you are coating a dark, uneven, or porous surface, plan carefully because you may need extra material to get even coverage with a match of P170-4 Sugar Poppy by Behr.

Will P170-4 Sugar Poppy by Behr look the same in MyPerfectColor paint after it is applied?

MyPerfectColor makes a match of P170-4 Sugar Poppy by Behr, but the finished look can still change based on sheen, substrate, and application. A glossier finish reflects more light, while a flatter finish reflects less, so the same color reference can read differently after it is sprayed on.

If the part will sit next to an existing painted surface, test the match on that actual material first because texture and sheen can affect how the color is perceived.

Which finish should I choose for P170-4 Sugar Poppy by Behr in MyPerfectColor paint?

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used, how much cleanup it may need, and how much reflectivity you want in the final coating. Higher gloss finishes are usually easier to wipe down and will reflect more light. Lower gloss finishes reduce reflectivity and can make a match of P170-4 Sugar Poppy by Behr read differently on the finished item.

If you are coating a replacement part, fixture, or accessory that needs to coordinate with an existing surface, matching the sheen is often as important as matching the color reference.

How long does P170-4 Sugar Poppy by Behr take to dry and recoat in MyPerfectColor spray paint?

For spray paint, dry to touch is typically within minutes, recoating is usually in one to two hours, and full curing takes about two weeks. Those are different stages, so a surface can feel dry before it is ready for heavy handling or service.

If you are applying more than one coat of a match of P170-4 Sugar Poppy by Behr, wait for the recoat window before adding the next coat, and avoid full use until the finish has fully cured.

How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Behr P170-4 Sugar Poppy?
