A match of Valspar V045-6 Sly Fox reads as a deep warm brown with a noticeable red-orange undertone and a muted, earthy character. With a low LRV, it will look fairly dark on the surface and can shift a little warmer or cooler depending on sheen, lighting, and substrate texture.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on small parts and accessories where a dark brown finish is needed: vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, shutters, mailbox hardware, frame pieces, shelving supports, PVC trim, and other painted fixtures. It can also suit metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated components that need a coordinated brown without changing the whole assembly.

Because this is a dark color, surface condition and finish tend to show through more than they do on lighter paints. Scratches, patching, texture differences, and gloss variation can be more noticeable on smooth metal or glossy plastic, so even prep and steady film build matter when you want the color to read consistently.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Valspar™ V045-6 Sly Fox *

Can MyPerfectColor make Valspar V045-6 Sly Fox work on plastic parts or other difficult surfaces?

Yes, but plastics can vary a lot, so test on the actual part before painting the full item. MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Valspar V045-6 Sly Fox is made to stick well to most plastics, but adhesion can still change based on the specific substrate.

For better results, use the MyPerfectColor primer for the selected part and follow normal prep steps such as cleaning and, when needed, light scuffing. If the surface is a low-energy plastic or an unfamiliar material, a test panel is the safest way to confirm adhesion and appearance.

Where do I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor paint matched to Valspar V045-6 Sly Fox?

The Safety Data Sheet depends on the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry you order, not on the Valspar V045-6 Sly Fox color name by itself. Check the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor paint format you are buying.

MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets are available on the Safety Data Sheets page. If you change product types, such as spray paint versus another chemistry, the SDS can be different.

What should I confirm before ordering a custom match of Valspar V045-6 Sly Fox?

Before ordering a custom match of Valspar V045-6 Sly Fox, confirm the original color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need. Custom-made color matches should be ordered carefully because they are not returnable or refundable.

This helps avoid ordering the wrong MyPerfectColor match for your project, especially if you need spray paint for a part, fixture, or other removable item.

How do I verify the original reference for Valspar V045-6 Sly Fox before I order?

Do not rely on screen viewing alone. Confirm Valspar V045-6 Sly Fox from a physical swatch from the original brand or from a known existing color reference before placing the order.

MyPerfectColor matches the chosen brand color reference, so the reference you verify is the basis for the custom-matched paint. If the target color is not confirmed first, there is a higher risk of ordering a match to the wrong shade.

If the surface is rough, porous, or a darker color is showing through, plan for extra material. For Valspar V045-6 Sly Fox, it is usually better to round up than to come up short once you account for prep, waste, and additional coats.

How do I convert Valspar V045-6 Sly Fox to a different color from another paint company?

While we can provide Valspar V045-6 Sly Fox in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another brand.

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.
