Match of Home Hardware™ C5-6-0489 Whirlwind *

Confirm C5-6-0489 Whirlwind from a physical swatch, a chip, or another known existing color reference from Home Hardware before you order. Screen images can shift with calibration and lighting, so they are not the safest way to approve the color.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom-matched paint to the selected brand color reference. It is not the original Home Hardware paint, so the best way to avoid ordering the wrong match is to verify the target color from the actual reference you want reproduced.

Coverage for C5-6-0489 Whirlwind depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. For spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet.

If you are coating trim, vents, pipe, hardware, shutters, or other small parts, estimate each face that will be painted and allow extra for test spraying, uneven surfaces, and a second coat if needed.

Once C5-6-0489 Whirlwind is applied, lighting, sheen, placement, texture, and nearby surfaces can all change how the match reads on the finished item. A color that looked right in the reference may appear a little different on a metal bracket, PVC pipe, grille, or painted panel.

If the item will sit next to an existing painted surface, check the matched coating under the same lighting and in the same location where it will be used. That gives you the most realistic read on the finished result.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product chemistry, not the Home Hardware color name alone. If you need the safety information for the product you are ordering, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page.

Choose the finish for C5-6-0489 Whirlwind based on how the part will be used and how you want the coating to perform. Gloss level affects reflectivity, cleanup, and how much surface variation shows after application.

If the part needs to coordinate with an existing painted surface, pick a sheen that matches the surrounding finish as closely as possible. If you want better resistance to visible surface flaws, a lower-gloss finish usually shows less reflection than a higher-gloss one.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Home Hardware C5-6-0489 Whirlwind 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.

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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Home Hardware C5-6-0489 Whirlwind, 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.
