Match of Ace™ Aluminum *

Coverage depends on the size of the item, surface texture, surface prep, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but real-world coverage can be lower on rough or porous surfaces.

If you are coating a small part like a vent cover or switch plate, one can may be enough. For larger parts or multiple pieces, plan for extra so you do not run short before the job is complete. If you need a broader area covered, other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet.

Use light, even coats instead of one heavy pass. Keep the can moving, overlap each pass slightly, and avoid stopping in one spot because that can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy color build.

For a match of Ace Aluminum, the best result usually comes from preparing the surface well, spraying at a consistent distance, and letting each coat flash before adding the next. Follow the product label for dry time and recoating guidance.

A match of Ace Aluminum is made to the selected color reference, but the finished item can still read differently because of lighting, sheen, placement, and nearby surfaces. The same color can appear darker, lighter, warmer, or cooler depending on where it is viewed.

If the painted part will sit next to an existing surface and the approval risk is high, check the color under the final lighting on the same substrate before committing to a full project. That helps you judge the finished appearance, not just the color reference.

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Ace Aluminum is a practical option for small parts such as switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, knobs, trim pieces, and similar items where a smooth sprayed finish is wanted.

These parts usually paint best when they are cleaned, scuffed if needed, and primed as appropriate for the material. Spray light coats and allow proper drying time so the finish builds evenly on metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces.

Safety Data Sheet information is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product and chemistry, not to the Ace Aluminum color name alone. If you are checking safety and compliance details for a match of Ace Aluminum, use the SDS for the specific MyPerfectColor product you plan to order.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Ace Aluminum in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

While we can provide Ace Aluminum 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.

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.
