A match of Behr BIC-38 Honest Blue reads as a muted medium-dark blue with a cool bias and a slight green cast. Its restrained chroma keeps it from looking bright, while the lower light reflectance gives it more depth and a steadier, less airy appearance.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color is useful on small parts and removable pieces where a consistent blue finish matters. It can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailboxes, shutters, frames, shelving, hardware, and other sprayable components that need a coordinated blue with less glare than a cleaner, brighter blue.

Because this color is fairly deep, it can make surface texture, edge condition, and gloss level more noticeable as the finish builds. Coverage is usually manageable, but darker substrates, rough plastics, or uneven prep may still show through until the coating reaches full film build. For exterior parts, repeated sun and weather exposure can also shift how muted blues read over time, so finish choice and prep matter.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Behr™ BIC-38 Honest Blue *

How should I spray a MyPerfectColor match of BIC-38 Honest Blue for a smoother finish on small parts?

Use light, even coats and keep the can moving so you do not load too much paint in one pass. Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking color build. For a cleaner result, apply several thin coats instead of trying to cover in one heavy coat.

For items like vents, grilles, brackets, mailboxes, or other small parts, maintain a consistent spray distance and overlap each pass slightly. Let each coat dry per the product directions before adding the next coat, and test on a scrap piece if the part is visible and the finish matters.

How much MyPerfectColor BIC-38 Honest Blue spray paint 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, but rough, dark, or highly porous surfaces may need more paint.

If you are painting a single small item such as a vent cover, hardware piece, or bracket, one can may be enough. If you are coating multiple parts or a larger surface, plan for extra product so you do not run short before the finish is even.

Can I use a MyPerfectColor match of BIC-38 Honest Blue on plastic parts?

MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but plastics vary widely, so it is important to test the actual material first. Some plastics need different prep or primer to get reliable adhesion.

Clean the part well, make sure it is dry, and use the MyPerfectColor primer to improve adhesion when the plastic is slick or difficult. If the item is flexible, molded, or has an unknown finish, a test spray on a hidden area is the safest way to check the result before painting the full part.

What prep should I do before painting metal with BIC-38 Honest Blue over an existing coating?

Start by cleaning the surface so grease, dust, and other contamination do not interfere with adhesion. If the metal has rust, loose paint, or chalky residue, remove it before painting. Glossy areas usually benefit from scuffing so the new coating can grip better.

The condition of the old coating, along with its gloss and texture, can change how BIC-38 Honest Blue looks after it dries. If you are coating a visible part, a full refinish is usually more consistent than trying to patch one small spot beside an older finish.

Where can I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor BIC-38 Honest Blue?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the BIC-38 Honest Blue color name by itself. That means you should look up the Safety Data Sheet for the specific MyPerfectColor format you plan to order.

If you need the SDS before ordering, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page and confirm the exact product type, such as spray paint or another format, so you are reviewing the correct document.
