Match of Home Hardware™ 5K2-7 Ivy *

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used, cleaned, and viewed. The 5K2-7 Ivy color code identifies the color target, but it does not define gloss level. A flatter finish hides surface flaws better, while a glossier finish is usually easier to wipe clean and can look more reflective on the finished item.

If you are matching an existing painted part, try to match the surrounding sheen as closely as possible because the same 5K2-7 Ivy color can look different in flat, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss.

Coverage depends on the size of the part, 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. Other paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet per gallon.

For 5K2-7 Ivy, plan extra material if the surface is rough, porous, dark, or previously coated in a color that may show through. Buying a little more than the minimum usually reduces the risk of running short during a multi-coat project.

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Home Hardware 5K2-7 Ivy is a practical option for small parts such as switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, knobs, and similar items where a smooth spray finish is helpful.

For these parts, remove or mask the item carefully, clean it well, and make sure the finish format you order fits the job. Spray paint is often the most convenient choice when the part is small, removable, or awkward to brush.

Plastics vary a lot, so test on the actual part before coating the full item. MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Home Hardware 5K2-7 Ivy sticks well to most plastics, but some plastics need better prep or a primer to improve adhesion.

Clean the surface first, and if the plastic is slick or low-energy, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel to help the coating bond more reliably. This matters more on parts like covers, trim pieces, and fixtures than on easier surfaces.

Clean the surface first to remove dust, grease, rust, and any loose coating. If the existing finish is glossy or sound but smooth, light scuffing can help the new coating adhere better. The condition of the old coating can affect both adhesion and how the final 5K2-7 Ivy match reads.

If the part is going to sit next to an older painted surface, remember that gloss, texture, and age differences can make the same color look different even when the color match itself is correct. A test application is a good way to reduce risk on important metal parts or repainted fixtures.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Home Hardware 5K2-7 Ivy, we don't provide any crossover information because this is a subjective determination. Every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, so determining which color is the best approximation is a judgement call.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Related Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the company 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.
