Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of ICI 1324 Light's Out reads as an almost-black charcoal with a cool gray base and a faint blue-green undertone. The color is very low in chroma, so it stays quiet rather than vivid, and its dark value gives it a dense, near-black appearance on most surfaces.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, brackets, shelf supports, railings, mailboxes, door hardware, and PVC trim pieces. It also works for frames, furniture accents, equipment covers, and other small parts where a dark, restrained finish is needed on metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces after proper preparation.

Because the color is so dark, surface condition and sheen can affect the final read more than they would in a lighter color. A thin film may look slightly uneven over a lighter base, and scratches or texture can stand out more clearly in the finished coating. For the most even result, solid prep and proper film build matter more than in lighter, softer colors.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ 1324 Light's Out *

Will MyPerfectColor 1324 Light's Out look the same in matte and gloss finishes?

No. The color reference stays 1324 Light's Out, but the finish can change how the match reads after it is applied. Matte, satin, and gloss reflect light differently, so the same matched color can look deeper or lighter depending on sheen and surface texture.

If you are coating a part that will sit next to an existing painted surface, choose the closest sheen you can and expect a test sample or small trial area to be the safest check before committing to the full project.

How much MyPerfectColor 1324 Light's Out do I need for my project?

Coverage depends on the size of the item, the texture of the surface, how well the old surface hides, the application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, depending on the product and application conditions.

For 1324 Light's Out, plan extra if the substrate is rough, porous, dark, or uneven, or if you expect multiple coats for full hide.

Where can I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor 1324 Light's Out?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not the 1324 Light's Out color name by itself. You can find MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets here: Safety Data Sheets.

If you are ordering 1324 Light's Out in a specific format, check the SDS for that exact product type so you have the right safety information for what you are using.

How should I spray MyPerfectColor 1324 Light's Out for the best finish?

Use light, even coats and build coverage gradually instead of trying to cover the part with one heavy pass. Keep a steady spraying distance, overlap each pass slightly, and avoid dwelling in one spot. Heavy coats can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking build.

For 1324 Light's Out, let each coat dry as directed before adding the next one. Smooth, controlled passes usually give better color consistency than a fast, heavy application.

Can I use MyPerfectColor 1324 Light's Out on plastic surfaces?

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so testing on the actual material is important before you commit to the full project. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult surfaces.

For 1324 Light's Out, prep the part carefully, test the finish on a hidden area if possible, and use the primer when you want better bonding on plastic or other low-energy surfaces. You can find the primer here: Primer for Acrylic Enamel.
