A match of Ace NLT02 Black Onyx is a very dark near-black with a subtle cool cast and very low chroma. It reads as a restrained black rather than a warm charcoal, with enough softness to keep it from looking harsh.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailboxes, shelf supports, knobs, and small hardware where a dark, coordinated finish is needed. It also works for frame edges, appliance trim pieces, display parts, and other removable components that are easier to spray than to brush, especially when the goal is a consistent dark appearance on metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces after proper prep.

Because this is such a dark color, surface condition and sheen can show through more readily than they do in lighter paints. Scratches, sanding marks, and texture differences may be more noticeable, and the final look can shift with finish choice, film build, and substrate type. On exterior parts, a dark color like this can also show wear and weathering more readily than quieter mid-tone colors.

MyPerfectColor supplies its own paint matched to the selected brand color reference, not Ace's original paint product. As with any custom color match, the appearance can vary with lighting, sheen, and the material being coated, so a test application is helpful when the part will sit beside an existing surface or when the finish needs to read consistently across multiple pieces.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Ace™ NLT02 Black Onyx *

Where can I find the SDS for NLT02 Black Onyx from Ace?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product chemistry, not the color name alone. For NLT02 Black Onyx, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the exact paint format you plan to order.

If you need the SDS for spray paint or another MyPerfectColor format matched to NLT02 Black Onyx, make sure you are reviewing the correct product before you place the order.

How can lighting affect NLT02 Black Onyx after it is applied?

Lighting, sheen, placement, and nearby surfaces can all change how NLT02 Black Onyx reads after it is applied. Because this color has a very low LRV, small changes in light and surface texture can be noticeable on the finished item.

If the part will sit next to an existing painted surface, test the MyPerfectColor match on the actual substrate first so you can judge it in the same viewing conditions.

Can NLT02 Black Onyx be ordered as custom spray paint for hardware, vents, or pipes?

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to NLT02 Black Onyx is useful for trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and other parts that are awkward to coat with a brush.

This is a practical choice when you want a repeatable match of NLT02 Black Onyx on a small or removable item, rather than trying to repaint a large area by hand.

How much NLT02 Black Onyx do I need for my project?

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 MyPerfectColor paint formats usually cover about 400 to 600 square feet, depending on the product and surface.

For NLT02 Black Onyx, plan carefully if you are covering a light or uneven surface, since more than one coat may be needed for even coverage.

What surface prep should I use before applying NLT02 Black Onyx?

Before applying NLT02 Black Onyx, clean the surface, remove grease or contamination, and scuff lightly where appropriate so the coating can bond well. Mask any areas you do not want painted.

It is also a good idea to test the MyPerfectColor match on the actual surface first, especially on metal, plastic, or previously coated parts, since prep and substrate type can affect the final result.
