A match of Valspar V101-2 Cool Mint is a very light, cool mint green with a soft blue-green undertone and low saturation. It reads airy rather than vivid, with a quiet pastel character that can shift slightly with sheen, substrate, and lighting.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color is useful for parts and accessories where a pale cool green needs to carry across different materials. It can be applied to vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, cabinet hardware, shelf brackets, frames, PVC trim pieces, railings, mailboxes, and other small fixtures that are easier to spray than brush.

Because the color is very light, coverage over dark, stained, or uneven surfaces may take more than one coat to reach a uniform look. Surface prep and primer can matter, especially on plastic or metal, and the final finish can make the color read softer or more crisp. If the item will sit outdoors, lighter pastel colors can still show wear, dirt, and sheen changes over time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Valspar™ V101-2 Cool Mint *

How do I confirm that V101-2 Cool Mint by Valspar is the right color before I order MyPerfectColor paint?

Confirm V101-2 Cool Mint from a physical swatch or another known existing color reference, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor makes a custom-matched paint to the selected Valspar color reference, so checking the target color first helps avoid ordering the wrong match.

The color code identifies the color target, but it does not tell you the sheen, product type, or how an old painted surface will look after repainting. If the item already has paint on it, verify the reference against the actual part or an approved sample before you place the order.

Which finish should I choose when ordering MyPerfectColor matched to V101-2 Cool Mint by Valspar?

Choose the finish based on the part you are painting and the look and cleanup you need, because the color can read differently in different sheens. The V101-2 Cool Mint color reference does not define a finish, so the right sheen depends on the project and the surface.

For example, the same match can look different on a low-gloss versus a higher-gloss coating, especially on small fixtures, hardware, or trim pieces. If you are trying to coordinate with an existing coated item, match the sheen as closely as possible and expect the final appearance to change with gloss level, texture, and substrate.

Can I use V101-2 Cool Mint by Valspar on plastic parts, and what should I do first?

Plastic can be painted, but different plastics behave differently, so test the match on the actual material first. MyPerfectColor spray paint is designed to work on many plastic items, and using the MyPerfectColor primer can help improve adhesion on challenging surfaces.

Before painting, clean the part well and confirm that the plastic is suitable for coating. This matters on items like vents, switch covers, small housings, trim pieces, baskets, and similar removable parts where the finish and adhesion need to hold up after installation.

What prep does V101-2 Cool Mint by Valspar need on metal or over an existing coating?

For metal or an already coated surface, clean off dirt, grease, and any contamination first. If there is rust, loose paint, or a glossy sound coating, remove or scuff what you can so the new coat can bond better.

The condition of the old surface can change how the finished V101-2 Cool Mint match looks, even when the color formula is correct. Gloss, texture, and uneven wear can all affect the final appearance, so test a small area when the new coating will sit next to an older finish.

What spray technique works best for MyPerfectColor V101-2 Cool Mint on small fixtures or hardware?

Use light, even coats with a consistent spray distance and overlap, and avoid heavy passes that can run or make the sheen look uneven. Thin, controlled coats are usually better for getting a smoother result on small parts than trying to cover everything at once.

This is especially useful for items like PVC pipe, vents, speaker grilles, mailboxes, railings, brackets, and other removable parts that need a clean, repeatable color match. Let each coat build gradually so the V101-2 Cool Mint match stays even and the surface does not get muddy or blotchy from excess film build.

How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Valspar V101-2 Cool Mint?
