Match of MBCI™ Colonial Red *

Yes, if you are repairing factory-finished MBCI Colonial Red trim coil, gutters, flashing, or related metal details after shipping damage, installation damage, field cutting, or service work, choose an Original Material Match product when it is available. That is the option intended for touch up because it includes a sheen match.

If you are painting a separate part, accessory, or replacement piece rather than touching up the original surface, another MyPerfectColor format may fit the job, but it should not be described as a direct touch-up product.

Not always. MBCI Colonial Red identifies the brand color reference, but an older installed surface can look different because of sun exposure, weathering, chalking, sheen change, texture, and batch variation.

If the repair area is beside aged material, the color reference may still be the right starting point, but it does not guarantee an invisible repair. For tight matches, compare against the actual installed piece or a site-specific sample when possible.

For direct touch up on factory-finished building materials in MBCI Colonial Red, choose Original Material Match when it is available because it includes a sheen match. That is the safest choice for touch-up work on trim coil, gutters, and similar metal building parts.

Other MyPerfectColor formats can still be color-matched to MBCI Colonial Red, but they are better suited to separate parts, accessories, or broader repainting. Water-based housepaint, urethane, and epoxy should not be treated as direct touch-up products for this type of factory finish.

Yes. A match of MBCI Colonial Red is a practical reference for coordinating trim coil, gutters, flashing, roof details, wall-panel accessories, and other adjacent metal parts where close color coordination matters.

If the part is a replacement piece or an added accessory, a MyPerfectColor match to MBCI Colonial Red can help it blend with nearby branded material. If you are touching up the existing factory-finished surface itself, use an Original Material Match product when available because it includes a sheen match.

Before you order, confirm the exact brand name, color name or code, product type, finish, and quantity for MBCI Colonial Red. That matters because custom color matches are made to the reference you select, and the wrong format can lead to the wrong result for your job.

If the project is direct touch up on factory-finished building material, make sure you select an Original Material Match option when available. Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is worth checking the details carefully before purchase.

Yes, MyPerfectColor matches the color and sheen of the MBCI Colonial Red. Choose exterior spray paint, touch up bottles or paint pens as the paint type option if you need to touch up windows or doors. If you are painting gutters, vents, pipes and other ancillary items, then our spray paint, paint pens and touch up bottles are ideal for painting these items. However, keep in mind that our version of the MBCI Colonial Red is based on matching an official MBCI color sample. The color and sheen of your specific MBCI 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 will be sending a match of the original color which has not been exposed to sunlight and weather. If your exterior has aged and you need a touch up application, we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color of your siding.

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.
