Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of Valspar V140-6 Model T is a very dark gray with a muted green undertone. It has low chroma, so the color reads restrained rather than vivid, and the low LRV gives it a deep, light-absorbing appearance. In most applications it will look cool-leaning and subdued.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color is useful for small parts and removable items that need a dark neutral-green look across different materials. It can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailboxes, shutters, hardware, and furniture accents where a consistent sprayed finish is easier than brushing.

Because this is a dark, low-chroma color, finish and surface preparation matter. Gloss level, substrate texture, and film build can change how deep the color appears, and uneven or lighter basecoats may show through more readily. Expect coverage to be more uniform with clean prep and even coats, and use extra care on edges and high-wear parts where sheen differences are easy to notice.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Valspar™ V140-6 Model T *

Where can I find the SDS for V140-6 Model T by Valspar when ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets are tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product and chemistry, not the V140-6 Model T color name by itself. If you need the SDS for this item, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page at https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm before you order so you are looking at the correct product information.

How do I choose the right sheen for V140-6 Model T in MyPerfectColor paint?

The V140-6 Model T color reference does not determine sheen. Choose the finish based on the item and how it will be used. Higher-sheen finishes usually give more reflectivity and can be easier to clean, while lower-sheen finishes reduce shine. The same match of V140-6 Model T can look different as sheen changes, so confirm the finish before ordering.

What surface prep should I do before spraying a match of V140-6 Model T?

Start by cleaning and degreasing the surface, then use light scuffing where appropriate for the substrate or existing coating. Mask adjacent areas, and test the MyPerfectColor match of V140-6 Model T on the actual surface before doing the full job. Prep matters because plastic, metal, wood, and previously coated parts can all change how the color and finish read once painted.

Can I return a custom-made MyPerfectColor match of V140-6 Model T if I order the wrong sheen or quantity?

Custom-matched orders should be selected carefully because they are made to your chosen color reference, product format, sheen, and quantity. A custom-made match of V140-6 Model T is not the kind of purchase where you should plan on returns or refunds if the details are wrong. Confirm the color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the amount before you place the order.

What spray technique works best for MyPerfectColor paint matched to V140-6 Model T?

Use light, even coats at a consistent distance with overlap between passes.

This approach is especially useful on small parts, trim pieces, fixtures, hardware, and other removable items where spray paint is practical.
