Match of Kelly Moore™ KM5813-2 Dusky Grouse *

Confirm KM5813-2 Dusky Grouse from a physical Kelly Moore swatch, a known painted sample, or another reliable original color reference. Do not rely on a screen image alone, since monitors and lighting can shift how the color appears. MyPerfectColor matches to the selected brand color reference, so the goal is to verify that KM5813-2 Dusky Grouse is the target before you place the order.

The code identifies the color target. It does not tell you the sheen, product line, or how an existing painted surface will look after repainting.

Choose the sheen based on the item you are painting and how you want it to perform, not just on the color name. Lower sheen finishes usually hide surface flaws better, while higher sheen finishes are typically easier to wipe clean but can make texture and prep marks more visible. A match of Kelly Moore KM5813-2 Dusky Grouse can read differently depending on the sheen, so select the finish before ordering.

The color code tells you the target color, but it does not define the finish. If you need the part to coordinate with an existing surface, match the sheen as closely as possible to reduce visible differences.

Start by cleaning off dust, oil, wax, and other contamination. Then scuff the surface so the new coating has something to grip. If the metal has rust, loose paint, or a failing old coating, address that first before applying KM5813-2 Dusky Grouse.

Glossy or slick existing coatings usually need more abrasion than dull ones. Because gloss, texture, and the condition of the old finish can change how the new color looks, a test area is a good idea when the part is visible or the existing coating is in poor shape.

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so test on the actual item before painting the full piece. MyPerfectColor spray paint is designed to stick well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult or low-energy surfaces.

For KM5813-2 Dusky Grouse, clean the part thoroughly, use primer if the surface is known to be hard to coat, and spray a small test area first. That reduces the risk of adhesion problems or a finish that looks different from what you expected.

Apply KM5813-2 Dusky Grouse in light, even coats from a consistent distance, with slightly overlapping passes. Avoid heavy wet coats, because they can cause runs, uneven sheen, and a heavier color build that looks different from the intended match.

Let each coat flash off before applying the next one. This helps the finish level out and gives you more control over how the matched color looks on the final item, especially on small parts, fixtures, or accessories.
