A match of Kelly Moore KMA87-5 Stiletto is a very dark charcoal that reads close to black, with a restrained cool cast and very low chroma. It has more gray depth than a pure black, so it can look slightly softer while still staying clearly dark.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this Kelly Moore reference works well on small parts and fixtures where a deep charcoal finish is needed. Common spray uses include HVAC vents, speaker grilles, switch covers, camera housings, shelf brackets, railings, mailbox parts, door hardware, and PVC or conduit that needs to coordinate with darker trim or equipment. It can also be applied to metal, plastic, wood, and previously coated accessories after proper surface preparation.

Because the color is very dark and low-chroma, surface texture, scratches, and sheen differences can be more noticeable, especially on glossy finishes or on parts with uneven prep. Final appearance can shift with substrate, film build, and lighting, so a careful test spray on the actual material is often helpful before coating a full set of parts.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Kelly Moore™ KMA87-5 Stiletto *

How do I confirm I am ordering the right MyPerfectColor match for KMA87-5 Stiletto from Kelly Moore?

Confirm KMA87-5 Stiletto from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference from Kelly Moore, not from a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor makes a custom-matched paint to that selected brand color reference, so the order should start with the original color target you want matched.

The code by itself does not define sheen, product line, or how an already-painted surface will look after aging or wear. If you are matching an existing item, verify the reference before ordering so you are choosing a match of KMA87-5 Stiletto rather than guessing from a digital view.

For KMA87-5 Stiletto custom spray paint, when can I recoat and handle the part?

For MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to KMA87-5 Stiletto, dry-to-touch happens within minutes, but recoating should usually wait about 1 to 2 hours. Full cure and handling strength take much longer, with full curing taking about two weeks.

That means the part may feel dry before it is ready for aggressive handling, stacking, or installation. If you need multiple coats, plan the work around the recoat window rather than assuming the item is fully cured once it is dry to the touch.

Can I spray MyPerfectColor match of KMA87-5 Stiletto on plastic parts or other difficult surfaces?

Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to KMA87-5 Stiletto can work on many plastics, but plastics vary a lot and some are harder to coat than others. Test on the actual part whenever possible, especially if the surface is slick, flexible, or low-energy.

To improve adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel before painting. Proper cleaning and preparation matter on plastic because a good color match will still fail if the coating does not bond well to the substrate.

Will KMA87-5 Stiletto look the same after MyPerfectColor applies the match to my part?

The color match is based on KMA87-5 Stiletto, but the finished appearance can still shift with lighting, sheen, texture, and nearby surfaces. Because this color has a very low LRV, changes in light can be noticeable on the finished item.

If the painted part will sit next to an existing surface, review it in the lighting where it will be used and on the same substrate whenever possible. That is the best way to judge the practical appearance of the matched coating before committing to a larger project.

Where do I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor paint matched to KMA87-5 Stiletto?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the KMA87-5 Stiletto color name alone. If you need safety information, look up the SDS for the specific MyPerfectColor paint format you plan to order, such as spray paint.

MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets are available on the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page. Use the SDS for the exact product you are purchasing, since different paint formats can have different safety information.
