A match of Valspar VR114A Tomcat reads as a deep charcoal gray that sits very close to black, with a faint cool-blue cast and almost no chroma. It is a quiet, low-contrast color rather than a clear or vivid dark.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color reference is well suited to small parts and hardware that need a dark, restrained finish. Common uses include HVAC vents, speaker grilles, switch covers, brackets, railings, shelf hardware, mailbox parts, frames, shutters, and PVC trim pieces where a near-black charcoal look is wanted.
Because the color is very dark and has a low LRV, surface texture, sanding marks, and sheen differences can show once the coating is applied. On lighter or uneven substrates, coverage may take more than one coat to reach an even depth, and finish choice can shift the color slightly warmer or cooler in appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Valspar™ VR114A Tomcat *
Will MyPerfectColor VR114A Tomcat look the same in matte and gloss finishes?
No. The same match of VR114A Tomcat can read differently once it is applied in a different sheen because matte, satin, and gloss finishes reflect light differently. That changes how deep or crisp the color appears on the finished item.
If you are ordering MyPerfectColor paint matched to VR114A Tomcat for a part that needs to sit next to another coated surface, choose the finish carefully and expect the sheen to affect the final look even when the color formula is the same.
How should I choose a finish for MyPerfectColor VR114A Tomcat?
Choose the finish based on how the item will be used, cleaned, and viewed. A flatter finish can reduce glare and may hide minor surface flaws better, while a glossier finish is usually easier to wipe down and will reflect more light.
For a match of VR114A Tomcat, the sheen is part of the purchase decision because the same color can look different in a low-gloss versus high-gloss coating. If you want the color to coordinate with an existing part, match both the color reference and the finish as closely as possible.
What prep should I do before applying MyPerfectColor VR114A Tomcat?
Start by cleaning the surface, removing dust, oils, and any loose material. If the surface is smooth or already coated, light scuffing may help the new coating grab better. Mask off areas that should not be painted, and test the match on the actual surface before painting the full item.
That approach matters for a match of VR114A Tomcat because surface condition can change how the color and sheen read after application. A careful prep step helps you judge the final result on the real substrate instead of only on the color reference.
Can I use MyPerfectColor VR114A Tomcat on crafts or accessories like frames, baskets, or shelving?
Yes, a match of VR114A Tomcat is often used on smaller project items where spray application is practical, such as frames, baskets, shelving, brackets, signs, speaker grilles, hardware, and other accessories.
For those projects, MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to VR114A Tomcat is useful when you need the object to coordinate with a known paint color rather than repainting an entire room or structure. Make sure the item is properly cleaned and prepared before coating.
Can MyPerfectColor VR114A Tomcat be used on plastic parts or other difficult surfaces?
Plastics vary a lot, so the best approach is to test the match of VR114A Tomcat on the actual material before doing the full job. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but adhesion can still depend on the specific substrate and surface condition.
If the part is plastic or another challenging surface, using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can help improve adhesion. That is especially useful for items like vents, covers, trim pieces, or other removable parts where you want MyPerfectColor paint matched to VR114A Tomcat to hold up better after application.
