A match of Valspar M104 Caliente is a warm, medium-deep red-brown with a clay and terracotta lean. It reads earthy rather than clean or bright, with enough color strength to look solid on small parts and enough brown in the undertone to keep it grounded.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on items such as railings, brackets, mailboxes, shutters, switch covers, speaker grilles, vent covers, hardware, and small furniture accents. It also works for painted PVC, trim pieces, and other removable components where a coordinated warm red-brown finish is needed on a part that can be sprayed evenly.
With an LRV of 16.71, this is a deeper color that will read darker on the finished surface, especially under lower gloss. The tone is not highly vivid, but smooth coverage still depends on surface prep, film build, and the substrate underneath. On metal, plastic, or previously coated items, uneven texture or patchy sanding can change how the color and sheen appear.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Valspar™ M104 Caliente *
Can I order M104 Caliente by Valspar in different sheens, and how does sheen change the finished look?
Yes. MyPerfectColor can match M104 Caliente in a finish that fits the project, but sheen is a practical ordering choice, not just a visual one. Higher sheen usually increases reflectivity and can make surface flaws and application differences more noticeable, while lower sheen reduces shine and can be more forgiving. Sheen also affects cleanup and wear resistance, so choose the finish based on how the part will be used and cleaned.
If you are matching trim pieces, fixtures, or removable parts, confirm the sheen before ordering because the same M104 Caliente color can look different at different gloss levels.
Where do I find the SDS for M104 Caliente from Valspar?
The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product and chemistry, not to the M104 Caliente color name alone. If you need the SDS for a specific order, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the product format you plan to buy.
For this collection, MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets can be found at https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm. Confirm that the SDS matches the exact product type you are ordering.
How long does M104 Caliente spray paint take to dry before recoating?
Dry-to-touch, recoat, and full cure are different stages. For M104 Caliente in spray paint, expect it to be dry to the touch within minutes, ready for another coat in 1 to 2 hours, and fully cured in about 2 weeks.
Do not assume the part is ready for heavy handling, stacking, or installation just because the surface feels dry. If the item will be used right away, plan around the full cure time, not only the dry-to-touch stage.
Can I return custom-matched M104 Caliente paint if I ordered the wrong sheen or quantity?
Custom-made paint matched to M104 Caliente should be ordered carefully because those matches are not returnable or refundable. Before you place the order, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity.
That extra check matters because the wrong sheen or not enough product can force a re-order, and a custom color match is made specifically to your chosen reference.
How do I confirm the correct M104 Caliente color before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?
Confirm M104 Caliente from a physical swatch from the original brand or another known existing color reference before ordering. Screen images can shift with device settings, lighting, and display calibration, so they are not the best source for approval.
MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color standard, so verify the target M104 Caliente reference first and then place the order. That is the safest way to reduce the chance of ordering the wrong color match.
