Match of Pratt and Lambert™ 422A Whitewisp *

For 422A Whitewisp, dry-to-touch, recoat time, and full handling readiness are different stages. Spray paint is typically dry to the touch within minutes, should be recoated in 1 to 2 hours, and is fully cured in about 2 weeks.

Plan your project around those milestones, especially if the coated part needs to be stacked, assembled, or installed soon after painting. If you need the part back in service quickly, allow extra time before handling the finish heavily.

Plastics vary widely, so 422A Whitewisp should be tested on the actual material before you coat a full part. MyPerfectColor spray paint adheres well to most plastics, but a primer can improve adhesion and reduce risk on difficult surfaces.

For plastic parts, use the MyPerfectColor primer recommended for acrylic enamel when adhesion matters, and do a small test piece if the item is hard to replace or highly visible.

No. The same 422A Whitewisp color can read differently in matte, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss because the finish changes how light reflects off the surface and how deep the color appears.

If you are matching an existing painted item, choose the finish that best fits the surface you are coating, because the finish can affect how close the final result looks after application.

Coverage for 422A Whitewisp depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paint formats usually cover about 400 to 600 square feet, depending on the product and surface.

For small parts, count the number of items and expected coats instead of only estimating by area. Rough, porous, or darker substrates often need more paint than smooth, light, or already-coated surfaces.

Before applying 422A Whitewisp to metal or a previously coated part, clean the surface, remove contamination, and scuff glossy areas so the new coating can bond properly. If there is rust, loose paint, or failing coating, address that first.

The condition of the old surface matters because gloss, texture, and wear can affect the final appearance. A sound, well-prepped surface gives you a better chance of getting a consistent result with MyPerfectColor paint matched to 422A Whitewisp.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Pratt and Lambert 422A Whitewisp 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 MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Pratt and Lambert 422A Whitewisp, we don't provide any crossover information because this is a subjective determination. Every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, so determining which color is the best approximation is a judgement call.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Related Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the company 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.
