A match of Ace 27D-5 Key Lime reads as a clear yellow-green with a strong lime cast and notable chroma. It is not a muted olive; the color has a brighter green side balanced by yellow warmth, which keeps it from feeling cool or forest-dark. The overall effect is medium-depth and direct, with enough color to stand out on small parts without becoming heavy.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Ace color reference can be useful on small, sprayable parts where that yellow-green needs to carry across the object itself. Common uses include vent covers, switch plates, speaker grilles, mailbox hardware, shelf brackets, frames, railings, PVC fittings, baskets, and trim components. It also works for accessories, display parts, and shop pieces when the goal is to coat a removable item to the same brand color reference.

Because this is a vivid, high-chroma color, it may hide less efficiently than a muted neutral, especially over dark, uneven, or previously worn surfaces. A smooth base and even film build help the color read consistently, and the final gloss level can make it look sharper or softer. On textured metal or plastic, thin coverage may leave the substrate or edge contrast visible.

For exterior parts, bright yellow-green pigments can be more sensitive to weathering than quieter colors, so preparation and coating thickness matter. Keeping the application even is especially important on shutters, railings, mailboxes, or other exposed pieces where the finish will be seen close up.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Ace™ 27D-5 Key Lime *

How long does MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Ace 27D-5 Key Lime need before recoating?

For this custom spray paint match of Ace 27D-5 Key Lime, dry-to-touch is typically within minutes. Plan to recoat in 1 to 2 hours rather than trying to stack coats immediately.

Fully cured paint can take about two weeks. If the part will be handled, assembled, or put back into service, treat dry-to-touch and full cure as different stages.

How should I confirm Ace 27D-5 Key Lime before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm Ace 27D-5 Key Lime from a physical swatch or another known existing color reference, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor matches the selected brand color reference, so the order should be based on the actual target color you want reproduced.

If the item you are matching is already painted, verify whether you want the original Ace 27D-5 Key Lime reference or the look of the aged surface, because those can differ.

Will the finish change how Ace 27D-5 Key Lime looks in MyPerfectColor paint?

Yes. Finish changes reflectivity, which changes how Ace 27D-5 Key Lime is perceived on the finished item. The color reference is the same, but gloss or sheen can make the result read differently on metal, plastic, wood, or a previously coated part.

Choose the finish based on the coating needs for the part, not just the color name.

What projects are a good fit for MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Ace 27D-5 Key Lime?

It is useful for small or awkward items where brushing is inefficient, such as trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and similar parts. It is also practical for removable items like covers, grilles, panels, baskets, frames, and brackets when you want them matched to Ace 27D-5 Key Lime.

For projects with multiple materials, MyPerfectColor custom spray paint gives you a repeatable match of the selected brand color on parts that need to coordinate with an existing painted surface.

Can MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Ace 27D-5 Key Lime be used on plastic parts?

MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can improve adhesion on difficult surfaces. If the part is important, do a test application before coating the full item.

How do I convert Ace 27D-5 Key Lime to a different company?
