A match of Kelly Moore KM4873-2 Thunder Cat reads as a muted blue-gray with a cool bias and a faint green cast. It has medium depth, so it comes across as subdued rather than bright, with enough body to hold color on small parts and fixtures.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Kelly Moore color can be useful for vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, access panels, railings, mailbox parts, bracketry, PVC trim, and other small metal or plastic pieces where a coordinated finish matters. It also works well on frames, shelving, hardware, and removable accessories that need a steady blue-gray tone without looking vivid.

Because the color is relatively low-chroma, it usually covers more cleanly than stronger colors, but substrate color still matters. On white or uneven surfaces, more than one light coat may be needed to build an even read, and sheen will influence how cool or gray the color appears. A glossier finish can also make surface texture, seams, and repair lines more noticeable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Kelly Moore™ KM4873-2 Thunder Cat *

How much paint do I need for KM4873-2 Thunder Cat by Kelly Moore?

Coverage for KM4873-2 Thunder Cat depends on the size of the part, surface texture, prep work, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you plan to apply. If you are using MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this Kelly Moore color, a typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

For other MyPerfectColor paint formats, typical coverage is often about 400 to 600 square feet per coat, but the actual result can vary by substrate and film build. Measure the area first and order extra if the surface is rough, porous, or likely to need more than one coat.

How do I confirm KM4873-2 Thunder Cat is the right Kelly Moore color before ordering?

Confirm KM4873-2 Thunder Cat from a physical Kelly Moore swatch or another known color reference, not from a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor matches the original Kelly Moore color standard, so the safest approach is to verify the target color before you place the order.

If you are matching an existing painted item, compare against a known reference in the same lighting conditions you will see the finished part in. This helps reduce the risk of ordering a match of the wrong Kelly Moore color code.

Which sheen should I choose for KM4873-2 Thunder Cat in MyPerfectColor paint?

The right sheen for KM4873-2 Thunder Cat depends on the item you are coating and the look you need on the finished part. Sheen affects durability, cleanup, reflectivity, and how the matched color reads on the surface.

In general, flatter finishes reduce glare, while glossier finishes reflect more light and can make the same color appear different. Choose the finish that fits the use of the part and any surfaces it needs to coordinate with, rather than choosing by color name alone.

Where can I find the SDS for KM4873-2 Thunder Cat?

The SDS for KM4873-2 Thunder Cat is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry you order, not the Kelly Moore color name by itself. Check the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor format you plan to buy.
