A match of Ace Gloss Black is a very dark black with a near-neutral character and a slight cool cast. It reads dense rather than softened, with low light reflectance that keeps the color visually heavy and clear.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Gloss Black can be used on metal railings, brackets, hinges, switch plates, vents, speaker grilles, mailboxes, fence hardware, and other small fixtures that need a black finish. It is also useful for plastic or PVC parts, shelving supports, frames, and appliance trim after proper surface preparation.

On a dark color like this, surface condition and sheen can matter more than they do on lighter paints. Sanding marks, texture changes, and substrate variation may show through more clearly, so clean prep and even film build help the finish read consistently. If the part will be used outdoors, normal wear and sheen changes can become more noticeable over time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Ace™ Gloss Black *

Will Ace Gloss Black look the same if I order it in a different finish from MyPerfectColor?

No. The color reference stays Ace Gloss Black, but the finish changes how the match reflects light and how deep or flat it reads on the finished item. A gloss version will usually look different from a matte or satin version even when the color match itself is correct.

If you need the new coating to coordinate with an existing piece, confirm both the Ace Gloss Black reference and the sheen before ordering.

How do I choose the right finish for Ace Gloss Black when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used and how you want the coated surface to behave, not just the color name. With Ace Gloss Black, a higher gloss finish will reflect more light and may be easier to wipe clean, while a lower sheen can reduce visible surface texture.

If the item must match an existing painted surface, the sheen matters as much as the color reference. For that reason, verify the finish you need before placing the order.

Can I return a custom MyPerfectColor order made to match Ace Gloss Black if it is not what I expected?

Custom-matched orders should be chosen carefully because they are made to your selected color reference, product type, finish, and quantity. Before ordering Ace Gloss Black, confirm that you selected the correct MyPerfectColor product and the right sheen for your project.

If you are unsure about the reference or format, verify it first so you do not end up with a custom order that does not fit the job.

How much MyPerfectColor paint should I order for Ace Gloss Black?

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. For spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paint products typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet, depending on the surface and application.

For Ace Gloss Black, plan extra coverage if the substrate is rough, porous, dark, or uneven, since those conditions can require more paint for even results.

Where do I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor paint matched to Ace Gloss Black?

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product or chemistry, not to the Ace Gloss Black name by itself. If you need the SDS, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the product you are ordering.

How do I convert Ace Gloss Black to a different company?

While we can provide Ace Gloss Black 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.
