Match of Behr™ MS-83 Agate *

Confirm the target color from a physical Behr swatch or from an existing painted reference you trust. Screen images can shift with lighting and display settings, so they are not a reliable way to verify MS-83 Agate before ordering. MyPerfectColor makes a match to the original Behr MS-83 Agate color reference, so the key step is to verify that MS-83 Agate is the color you want before you place the order.

Yes, but the surface condition matters. Clean the metal or coated part first, then remove oil, wax, dust, and rust. If the old coating is sound, lightly scuff it so the new coating can bond better. Gloss, texture, and the condition of the old finish can change how MS-83 Agate looks after application, so it is smart to test a small area when the existing surface is aged, glossy, or uneven.

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 paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet. For MS-83 Agate, plan from the actual part or surface, not just the nominal size, because rough, porous, or uneven substrates usually take more paint.

Plastics vary widely, so test MyPerfectColor paint matched to Behr MS-83 Agate on the actual part before doing the full job. Clean the piece well, and if the surface is slick or low-energy, use the MyPerfectColor primer to improve adhesion. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but prep and primer choice can make a difference on difficult materials.

Yes. A match of Behr MS-83 Agate can look different even when the color match stays the same because finish changes how light reflects off the surface. Matte finishes absorb more light and can make the color read softer, while gloss finishes reflect more light and can make the same match look deeper or brighter. If you need to coordinate with an existing item, order the finish that best matches that surface, not just the color code.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Behr MS-83 Agate enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish in any color in any sheen.

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 Behr MS-83 Agate 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.

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 Behr MS-83 Agate 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.
