Match of Gentek™ 571 Brownstone (Vinyl) *

Yes, if the repair is on factory-finished Gentek siding and you need touch up after shipping damage, installation damage, field cutting, service work, or a scratch, choose a MyPerfectColor option that explicitly says "Original Material Match". That is the touch-up option in this collection because it includes a sheen match. Other product types can be color-matched, but they are not the right choice for direct touch up on a factory-finished surface.

A match to the Gentek 571 Brownstone (Vinyl) color reference can still look different next to installed siding that has aged. Sun exposure, weathering, chalking, sheen change, texture, embossing, and batch variation can all affect the final appearance. If the area you are repairing is already weathered or highly visible, an existing part or factory sample is usually the safer reference.

For direct touch up on Gentek 571 Brownstone (Vinyl), choose a product that explicitly says "Original Material Match". If the job is a replacement part, accessory, or broader repainting project, other MyPerfectColor formats such as water-based housepaint, urethane, or epoxy can be used as color-matched options, but they do not include a sheen match and should not be treated as direct touch-up products.

A match of Gentek 571 Brownstone (Vinyl) is a siding color reference, so it is most useful when you need paint to coordinate with factory-finished exterior cladding and related parts such as trim, soffit, fascia, shutters, gutters, or other nearby accessories. If the goal is to repair the original surface, use the touch-up product labeled "Original Material Match". If the goal is to paint a separate part, use the format that best fits that part and the way it will be applied.

If the installed Gentek 571 Brownstone (Vinyl) piece has aged, weathered, or changed sheen, sending an existing part or using a factory sample is often better than relying only on the color name. That is especially true for visible repairs or when approval tolerance is tight. The color reference is still useful, but it does not remove differences in age, texture, or surface condition.

It depends. MyPerfectColor matches the color of the Gentek 571 Brownstone (Vinyl) but may not match the sheen. If you see Custom Sheen as a sheen option, this means we also match the sheen of the material, otherwise you would need to pick the closest sheen available. However, keep in mind that our version of the Gentek 571 Brownstone (Vinyl) is based on matching an official Gentek color sample. The color and sheen of your specific Gentek parts may vary. If your material is not new and has been exposed to the weather, then it is likely that the color has changed over time. MyPerfectColor samples not been exposed to sunlight and weather. If you need a touch up application, you may need to send us a part so we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

Please note that if your existing materials are not new and you are trying to touch up, they will have aged and are likely different now than they were when new. MyPerfectColor will be sending paint matching the sample at our facility which has not aged the same as your materials and may also be different due to other factors such as variations in manufacturing processes. If your match is critical, you may consider sending a part of your materials for precise color matching. Learn more about our color matching services.
