Match of Behr™ S540-7 Bossa Nova *

No. The color target stays S540-7 Bossa Nova, but the finish changes how light reflects, so the same match can read differently in matte, satin, and gloss. If you need the finished part to sit near an existing painted item, choose the sheen that best matches that surface rather than relying on the color code alone.

For small parts, trim, fixtures, or removable pieces, the finish is part of the ordering decision because it affects perceived depth and sheen even when the color is matched correctly.

Confirm the exact brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity before you place the order. S540-7 Bossa Nova identifies the target color, but it does not tell you which format or finish you need.

Because custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, it is worth checking that you are ordering the right MyPerfectColor paint matched to S540-7 Bossa Nova for your project before you submit the order.

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so a test on the actual part is important before you paint the full item. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but some plastics and low-energy surfaces need better prep or primer to get reliable adhesion.

For S540-7 Bossa Nova, use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel when you want to improve adhesion on difficult plastic surfaces, and verify the result on the actual material before committing to the whole piece.

Apply light, even coats rather than one heavy pass. Hold the can at a steady distance, overlap each pass consistently, and keep moving to reduce runs, uneven sheen, and muddy color build.

That matters with S540-7 Bossa Nova because spray technique can change how the matched color reads on the finished item, especially on small parts, grilles, hardware, and other detail pieces where heavy application shows quickly.

Clean the surface first, then scuff it if needed so the new coating can grip. Check for rust, contamination, peeling, or weak old paint before you apply a match of S540-7 Bossa Nova, because the condition of the substrate can affect both adhesion and final appearance.

Gloss and texture from the old coating can also change how the new color reads, so test a small area when the new coat will sit next to an existing finish or when the underlying surface is uneven.

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 S540-7 Bossa Nova enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish in any color in any sheen. It sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

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.

While we can provide Behr S540-7 Bossa Nova 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.
