A match of Cerakote Glock Flat Dark Earth H-261 is a dark, muted brown with a warm yellow-olive undertone. It reads low-chroma and fairly deep, with an LRV of 13.22, so it tends to appear subdued rather than bright or crisp.
For transportation damage, installation damage, fabrication work, service wear, or missed spots in a coated finish, MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish. This makes it useful for spray paint touch-up on metal parts and for painting replacement hardware, brackets, housings, screw heads, trim plugs, end caps, and other ancillary items that need to stay visually aligned with the original reference.
Because this is a dark, flat earth tone, small repairs can still show differences in sheen, texture, film build, or substrate prep when compared with an older cured finish. A liquid paint match may also read a little differently beside weathered coated parts, so the original color reference is usually the better guide for new parts, sample panels, and fabrication work, while an existing installed part may need closer visual checking before repair.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Cerakote™ Glock Flat Dark Earth H-261 *
Can MyPerfectColor match Cerakote Glock Flat Dark Earth H-261 to an existing cured finish without visible differences?
MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish for Cerakote Glock Flat Dark Earth H-261, but an older cured part can still read differently next to a fresh repair. Gloss, texture, age, weathering, cure, substrate, and batch variation can all affect how the finish appears in real use.
If the area must blend beside an existing part, a sample panel or approved reference part is safer than relying on the name alone.
Is Cerakote Glock Flat Dark Earth H-261 a good choice for touch-up after chips, scratches, or missed spots?
Yes. A match of Cerakote Glock Flat Dark Earth H-261 is commonly used as a touch-up reference for damage from transportation, installation, fabrication, field modifications, or missed spots in the original finish. MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish so the repair starts from the correct reference.
For the best result, clean the damaged area, remove loose coating, and test the match on a small area before doing a visible repair.
Can I use Cerakote Glock Flat Dark Earth H-261 on screw heads, plastic snaps, or other small hardware that cannot use the original coating process?
Yes. A match of Cerakote Glock Flat Dark Earth H-261 is often ordered for ancillary items such as screw heads, clips, trim plugs, end caps, fastener covers, brackets, and similar parts that need to coordinate with a coated assembly but cannot go through the same original process.
MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish, but you still need to confirm that the part material can accept the chosen format and that your prep and application method are suitable for that item.
How does a liquid paint match for Cerakote Glock Flat Dark Earth H-261 compare with the cured finish on the original part?
A match of Cerakote Glock Flat Dark Earth H-261 is a coating reference, and MyPerfectColor can make a liquid paint match to that reference. Even so, a fresh liquid touch-up may still look different beside an older cured finish because the original part may have different gloss, texture, film build, cure, and surface wear.
If you need side-by-side visual consistency on an existing part, treat the cured part or an approved sample as the best reference, not just the color name.
What finish factors can change how Cerakote Glock Flat Dark Earth H-261 looks after application?
Gloss, texture, and film build can change the appearance of Cerakote Glock Flat Dark Earth H-261 even when the color match is correct. A smooth liquid finish can read differently from a matte, satin, or textured original surface under the same lighting.
MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish, but the final appearance still depends on the substrate, prep, application method, and the finish characteristics of the part you are coating.
