Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of ICI 1459 America's Cup is a dark, muted blue-gray with a cool cast and a slight teal undertone. The low chroma keeps it subdued rather than vivid, and the low LRV gives it a noticeably deep appearance on finished surfaces.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color is a practical choice for vents, speaker grilles, switch covers, brackets, railings, mailbox parts, shutters, camera housings, shelf supports, and other small metal, plastic, or previously coated pieces. It can also be used for furniture accents, trim components, and removable accessories where a repeatable dark blue-gray is needed.

Because this is a dark color, surface prep and finish selection matter. Gloss and semi-gloss finishes can make texture, edge wear, and substrate flaws more noticeable, while thin coverage over a light base may look uneven until enough film builds. Proper priming and even spray passes help the color read deeper and more uniform.
