Match of Home Hardware™ 6Q1-6 Graphite *

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product and chemistry, not to the Home Hardware color name alone. If you are ordering 6Q1-6 Graphite as a MyPerfectColor match, use the Safety Data Sheets page here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

Check the SDS for the exact product format you plan to use before starting your project.

Clean off dirt, wax, and grease first, then let the surface dry. Lightly scuff smooth or glossy areas when appropriate, mask adjacent areas you do not want coated, and test 6Q1-6 Graphite on the actual item before spraying a larger area.

Good prep improves adhesion and helps you judge the match on the real substrate, not just on a sample card or screen.

Confirm the brand color reference, the product type, the sheen, and the quantity before checkout. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match of 6Q1-6 Graphite, which is not the original Home Hardware paint, and custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable.

Verifying those details first reduces the risk of ordering the wrong match or finish.

Plastics vary a lot, so test 6Q1-6 Graphite on the actual plastic before painting the full part. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can improve adhesion on difficult plastic surfaces: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/en/product/995031-Primer-for-Acrylic-Enamel/.

Proper prep and a test panel are the safest way to confirm results on your specific plastic.

Finish changes how reflective the coating is, so 6Q1-6 Graphite can look different on the same item depending on sheen and surface texture. If you need a practical match, choose the finish that fits the part you are coating and compare it under the lighting where the item will be used.

The color code alone does not define sheen, so finish should be selected as part of the order.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Home Hardware 6Q1-6 Graphite 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. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. 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.

MyPerfectColor offers custom spray paint matched to Home Hardware 6Q1-6 Graphite which enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish. It is difficult to gauge spray paint coverage because it depends on how you apply it and the amount of overspray, but generally the 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. This paint sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Home Hardware 6Q1-6 Graphite, 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.
