A match of Home Hardware C11-3-0520 Slate Tint is a muted, cool blue-gray with a soft slate cast and low chroma. It reads more restrained than bright blue and more colored than a plain neutral gray, with medium-dark depth from the low LRV.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, speaker grilles, switch covers, brackets, railings, mailboxes, shelving, and other small parts where a consistent slate-toned finish is needed. It also works for coordinated hardware, fixture trim, PVC pieces, and removable accessories that are easier to spray than brush.

Because the color is muted rather than vivid, it generally does not have the coverage challenges seen with higher-chroma colors. Even so, the finished look can shift with substrate, film build, and sheen: smoother or glossier parts may make the blue undertone read a little clearer, while rough or uneven surfaces can push it toward a more gray appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Home Hardware™ C11-3-0520 Slate Tint *

How much C11-3-0520 Slate Tint paint do I need for my project?

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 paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, but the exact yield can vary by surface and application.

If you are coating a rough, porous, or dark surface, plan for extra material because C11-3-0520 Slate Tint may need more than one coat to reach even coverage.

Which finish should I choose for C11-3-0520 Slate Tint paint?

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used and cleaned. Finish affects durability, reflectivity, cleanup, and how C11-3-0520 Slate Tint will look once it is applied. A glossier finish will reflect more light, while a flatter finish will reflect less.

If you are matching an existing part or coating, make sure the sheen is part of the order decision because the same color can look different in different finishes.

Can I return custom-made C11-3-0520 Slate Tint paint if the match is not what I expected?

Custom-made color matches should be chosen carefully because they are not returnable or refundable. Before ordering C11-3-0520 Slate Tint, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need.

This helps reduce the risk of ordering the wrong match or the wrong format for your project.

Can I use C11-3-0520 Slate Tint in custom spray paint for small parts or hardware?
