Match of MBCI™ Slate Gray *

If the repair is on a factory-finished building material, order MyPerfectColor paint matched to MBCI Slate Gray and choose Original Material Match for direct touch up because it includes a sheen match.

That is the right path for scratches, rub marks, edge chips, missed cuts, and similar field damage on trim coil, gutters, flashing, or other metal details.

Not always. A match of MBCI Slate Gray is a brand color reference, but an installed surface can look different after sun exposure, weathering, chalking, sheen change, texture wear, or batch variation.

If the area is already aged or highly visible, compare against the actual installed part or a site sample before you order. Original Material Match is still the right touch-up option, but it cannot remove the age differences in the surrounding surface.

For direct touch up on factory-finished building materials, order Original Material Match for MBCI Slate Gray because it includes a sheen match.

Water-based housepaint, urethane, and epoxy can still be color-matched options for separate parts or broader repainting, but they should not be treated as direct touch-up products for the original finished surface.

Yes. A match of MBCI Slate Gray is a building-material color reference tied to MBCI trim coil, so it is useful when a replacement part or nearby metal detail needs to coordinate with roofing, gutters, flashing, or trim pieces.

If you are touching up an existing factory-finished piece, use Original Material Match. If you are painting a separate accessory or replacement part, a MyPerfectColor match of MBCI Slate Gray can be used to help it blend with the surrounding material.

Color is only one part of the match. On MBCI Slate Gray, sheen, texture, embossing, and the underlying substrate can all change how the repaired area reads next to the original material.

For direct touch up, choose Original Material Match so the sheen is included in the match. If the surface has a pronounced texture or embossed finish, test the result against the installed material before completing the job.

Yes, MyPerfectColor matches the color and sheen of the MBCI Slate Gray. 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 Slate Gray 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.
