Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application

A match of Kelly Moore KM4985-2 Old Faithful is a subdued blue with noticeable gray in it, giving it a cool, softened character rather than a clean or vivid blue look. With moderate lightness and low chroma, it reads as a blue-gray that stays restrained and practical on coated parts.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Kelly Moore color reference can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, railings, mailbox parts, shelf brackets, picture frames, light fixtures, hardware, and PVC trim pieces. It is also a useful match for shutters, window hardware, signage frames, and other removable components where a calm blue-gray finish is wanted on the object itself.

Because this color is moderately light and not highly saturated, it usually covers more predictably than a vivid color, but substrate color, texture, and finish still affect the result. Darker or uneven surfaces may need proper preparation and primer for even color development, and the sheen level can make the blue-gray read slightly lighter or deeper once sprayed.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Kelly Moore™ KM4985-2 Old Faithful *

How should I prepare metal or an existing coating before spraying KM4985-2 Old Faithful?

If you are applying a match of KM4985-2 Old Faithful to metal or over an existing coating, start by cleaning off dirt, oil, wax, and other contamination. Any rust, peeling paint, or loose coating should be removed first. If the old coating is sound but glossy, scuff sanding helps the new coating grip.

The final appearance can still change with the condition of the substrate, the old coating's gloss, and surface texture. For a project with visible finish differences, test the match on a small area before coating the whole part.

How do I confirm the right KM4985-2 Old Faithful color before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm KM4985-2 Old Faithful from a physical swatch or a known existing reference from the original Kelly Moore color, not from a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so the reference you approve is the key ordering decision.

If you are matching an existing item, verify whether you want the original brand color standard or the look of the aged surface, since those can differ. Once the target is confirmed, choose the MyPerfectColor product format and sheen that fit your project.

What should I expect for dry time, recoating, and handling with KM4985-2 Old Faithful spray paint?

With KM4985-2 Old Faithful in spray form, dry-to-touch, recoat, and full cure are different stages. It may be dry to the touch within minutes, should usually be recoated in 1 to 2 hours, and is fully cured in about two weeks.

Do not judge handling readiness by touch alone. If the part will be installed, stacked, or exposed to wear, wait for full cure so the coating has time to harden.

Where can I find the SDS for KM4985-2 Old Faithful from MyPerfectColor?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product chemistry, not to the KM4985-2 Old Faithful color name by itself. Check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the exact product or format you plan to order.

If you are comparing spray paint with another MyPerfectColor format, review the SDS for the specific product because the safety information can differ by chemistry.

What should I know before ordering KM4985-2 Old Faithful as a custom MyPerfectColor match?

Because KM4985-2 Old Faithful is a custom-matched order, confirm the color reference, product type, sheen, and quantity before you buy. MyPerfectColor custom color matches are not returnable or refundable.

If you are unsure about the final use, verify the target color on a physical reference and pick the format that fits the surface before submitting the order.
