Match of Valspar™ T501 Moon Rock *

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, how much hiding power you need, the application method, and how many coats the job takes. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, so a rough or porous item may need more material than a smooth one. If you are coating a large part or trying to cover a darker base, plan extra so you do not run short mid-project.

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used and how much reflectivity you want. Higher-gloss finishes usually clean more easily and can be more durable, while lower-gloss finishes reduce shine. The same T501 Moon Rock match can look different as the sheen changes, so the finish you order is part of the final appearance, not just a technical detail.

Plastics vary a lot, so the best approach is to test on the actual item before painting the full part. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion. Clean the surface first and make sure the plastic is suitable for paint before you commit to the whole project.

For metal, clean off dirt, oil, and other contamination first, then scuff the surface if there is an existing coating. Rust, gloss, texture, and the condition of the old finish can all affect how the new coating looks and bonds. If you are painting over an existing finish, test a small area first so you can confirm the prep and final appearance before doing the full part.

Spray paint is usually dry to the touch within minutes, but dry to the touch is not the same as fully cured. Plan on recoating in one to two hours, and allow about two weeks for full cure. If the part will be handled, installed, or put into service, wait until it has had enough time to harden properly.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Valspar T501 Moon Rock enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish in any color in any sheen. It sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

The MyPerfectColor 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat. Keep in mind that it is difficult to gauge spray paint need as the coverage is highly dependent on how it is applied. Learn more about how spray paint works at MyPerfectColor.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the brand you want.

Keep in mind that this just shows similar colors based on the color values we have stored in our database. It doesn't mean it is the same or give any approximation about how close the color is. You can play around with the Hue, Lightness and Chroma sliders to expand the selection.
