A match of Behr SM14-8 Floating Blue reads as a soft, light blue with a cool gray cast. It is restrained rather than vivid, with moderate lightness and low chroma, so the color comes across as a quiet blue instead of a bright or saturated one.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be useful on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, access panels, brackets, railings, shutters, mailboxes, PVC trim pieces, and small hardware parts where a coordinated blue finish is needed on a sprayable surface. It also suits baskets, frames, shelving, and fixture accents when a subdued blue is easier to integrate than a stronger accent color.

Because the color is fairly light, dark or uneven substrates can show contrast through the first coats, and a uniform base will usually help the match read more evenly. Finish and film build can also change the appearance: a smoother, glossier application may make the blue look a little deeper, while a flatter finish can push it toward a softer gray-blue.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Behr™ SM14-8 Floating Blue *

How much MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Behr SM14-8 Floating Blue should I order for my project?

Coverage depends on the size of the item, surface 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.

If you are coating a larger part or a rough or uneven surface, plan for extra material. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet, but the right amount still depends on the substrate and the finish you want to achieve.

Can I apply MyPerfectColor matched to Behr SM14-8 Floating Blue over metal or an existing coating?

Yes, but surface condition matters. Clean the metal first, remove dirt, oil, and contamination, and scuff glossy areas so the new coating has a better chance to bond.

If there is rust, peeling paint, or a weak old coating, address that before painting. The gloss, texture, and condition of the existing finish can change how a match of Behr SM14-8 Floating Blue looks after application, so a test area is a practical check before you commit to the full part.

Will MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Behr SM14-8 Floating Blue work on plastic parts?

Plastics vary widely, so test on the actual material before painting the full item. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but different plastics and low-energy surfaces can still need different prep.

Using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult plastic parts. That is especially useful when you want Behr SM14-8 Floating Blue on items like covers, housings, trim pieces, or other molded parts where surface prep has a big effect on the result.

What should I confirm before ordering Behr SM14-8 Floating Blue as a MyPerfectColor custom match?

Confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity before you order. Behr SM14-8 Floating Blue identifies the color target, but it does not by itself define the finish, substrate prep, or the exact product format you need.

MyPerfectColor is supplying its own paint matched to that selected brand color reference. Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is worth checking those details carefully before placing the order.

Why can Behr SM14-8 Floating Blue look different after I apply the MyPerfectColor match?

Even when the color match is correct, lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces can change how Behr SM14-8 Floating Blue reads after it is applied. The same color can look a little different on a flat wall, a curved part, or a small fixture.

If the painted item will sit next to an existing surface, a test application on the final substrate is a practical way to reduce risk before you finish the whole project.
