A match of Behr P170-6 Race Car Strip is a saturated warm red with a clear orange bias. It reads as a medium-deep color rather than a blue-based red, with enough chroma to look strong and clean while still carrying noticeable depth.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Behr color reference can be useful on parts and accessories where a strong red is needed on a smaller surface. Common spray-painted uses include mailboxes, bike frames, shelf brackets, speaker grilles, switch plates, rail sections, shutters, metal trim pieces, and painted PVC or other hardware that needs to coordinate with an existing color reference.

Because this is a high-chroma color with a relatively low LRV, coverage may take extra coats for even color over dark, rough, or uneven substrates. Finish and film build can shift how deep or vivid it appears, and glossier finishes tend to make surface texture, prep marks, and sheen differences more noticeable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Behr™ P170-6 Race Car Strip *

How much MyPerfectColor spray paint should I plan for Behr P170-6 Race Car Strip?

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, prep, and how many coats you need for even hiding. As a rough planning guide, a typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

If you are painting a rough, porous, or dark surface, plan for less coverage and allow extra paint for test spraying and overlap. For larger parts, measure the total area first so you can order enough MyPerfectColor paint matched to Behr P170-6 Race Car Strip without running short.

Where can I find the SDS for Behr P170-6 Race Car Strip?

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not the color name alone. If you need the SDS for Behr P170-6 Race Car Strip, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the specific product you are ordering.

For reference, the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page is https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm. If you are ordering a different format, check the SDS for that exact product rather than relying on the brand color name by itself.

Do I need primer before applying Behr P170-6 Race Car Strip?

Primer depends on the substrate, surface condition, and the type of paint you are using. Bare metal, plastic, wood, glossy surfaces, and damaged or uneven surfaces often benefit from primer.

The general rule is that primer never hurts and can improve adhesion, but it is not always required. For a match of Behr P170-6 Race Car Strip, follow the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product and test a small area if the surface is unfamiliar.

Will Behr P170-6 Race Car Strip look the same in matte and gloss?

No. The same color reference can read differently in matte versus gloss because the finish changes how light reflects off the surface. That can make the color look deeper, flatter, brighter, or more reflective even when the color match itself is the same.

If you need Behr P170-6 Race Car Strip to coordinate with an existing painted part, compare the actual finish on that part before ordering. The sheen is part of how the finished item will read after application.

Which finish should I order for a MyPerfectColor match of Behr P170-6 Race Car Strip?

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used and how you want the coating to perform. Lower sheen reduces reflectivity, while higher sheen is usually easier to clean and can make the color read differently on the finished item.

For a match of Behr P170-6 Race Car Strip on spray-painted items like vents, grilles, PVC, hardware, or removable parts, pick the sheen that best fits the object and the surrounding surfaces. If you are unsure, compare the available MyPerfectColor product options before ordering so you do not select the wrong finish.
