A match of Behr M490-7 Shasta Lake reads as a deep, muted blue-green with a cool blue bias and subdued chroma. Its low LRV gives it a dark, grounded look rather than a bright teal appearance, so it tends to read restrained on the surface.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on metal and plastic parts where a repeatable dark blue-green finish is needed. It fits vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, brackets, railings, shutters, mailbox parts, shelving supports, and hardware accents, especially when the color needs to be applied cleanly to smaller components.

Because this is a dark color, the final result can look deeper or flatter depending on sheen, substrate texture, and film build. A smooth, even spray application helps avoid patchiness, and lighter or uneven base surfaces may need careful preparation so the finished color reads consistently. On glossy finishes, surface flaws and sheen differences can be more noticeable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Behr™ M490-7 Shasta Lake *

How soon can I handle Behr M490-7 Shasta Lake MyPerfectColor spray paint after spraying?

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Behr M490-7 Shasta Lake is typically dry to the touch within minutes, but that is not the same as being ready for handling. Plan on recoating in 1-2 hours and allow about 2 weeks for full cure.

If the part must be assembled, installed, or put into service, wait until the coating has fully cured so the finish is less likely to mark or transfer.

Where do I find the SDS for Behr M490-7 Shasta Lake in MyPerfectColor paint?

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and its chemistry, not to the Behr M490-7 Shasta Lake color name by itself. Use the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor paint format you are ordering.

MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets can be found on the Safety Data Sheets page at https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

What surface prep should I use before applying Behr M490-7 Shasta Lake MyPerfectColor paint?

Before applying a match of Behr M490-7 Shasta Lake, clean the surface, remove grease or residue, and use light scuffing where appropriate to help the coating grip. Mask off nearby areas if you want a clean spray edge.

It is also smart to test the product on the actual surface first, especially on plastic, metal, or previously coated parts. That helps you confirm adhesion, coverage, and appearance before you finish the whole item.

How do I choose a finish for Behr M490-7 Shasta Lake matched paint?

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used, how much cleaning it needs, and how reflective you want the surface to be. Higher gloss levels usually give more durability and easier cleanup, while lower sheens reduce reflection.

Keep in mind that sheen changes how Behr M490-7 Shasta Lake reads after application. The same color can look different in matte, satin, or gloss, so the finish choice matters as much as the color match for the final result.

Will lighting and nearby surfaces change how Behr M490-7 Shasta Lake looks after MyPerfectColor applies it?

Yes. Even when the MyPerfectColor match of Behr M490-7 Shasta Lake is correct, lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces can change how the finished item looks. That is especially important for visible parts, fixtures, or anything installed next to an existing painted surface.

If the item will sit beside another coated area or be viewed in a specific light, test the finish on the actual surface first. That gives you a more accurate check of how the color will read after it is applied.

How do I convert Behr M490-7 Shasta Lake to a different color from another paint company?
