Match of Ace™ 18C-7 Gold Medal *

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. Other paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet, but the exact amount still depends on the project.

If you are coating a rough, porous, dark, or uneven surface, plan for more product than a smooth surface of the same size.

Confirm Ace 18C-7 Gold Medal from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard, so the target color should be verified before you order.

If the item you are matching is aged, faded, or previously painted, compare it carefully to the brand reference before choosing the match.

Primer depends on the substrate, its condition, and the paint type you are using. A primer never hurts and can improve adhesion, but it is not always required.

Check the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product you are ordering. Bare, glossy, damaged, or porous surfaces often benefit most from primer before the Ace 18C-7 Gold Medal match is applied.

Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint can work well on many plastics, but plastics vary a lot, so testing on the actual part is important. Surface prep matters, and some plastics need different primers or preparation steps.

If you want better adhesion on a plastic part, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel before applying the Ace 18C-7 Gold Medal match.

Lighting, sheen, texture, placement, and nearby surfaces can all change how Ace 18C-7 Gold Medal appears after application. The paint can still be the correct match to the selected brand color reference while reading differently on the finished item.

If the part will sit next to an existing painted surface, test the match in the actual location before finishing the full project.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Ace 18C-7 Gold Medal 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 Ace 18C-7 Gold Medal 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 Ace 18C-7 Gold Medal 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.
