Cerakote Cobalt Kinetics™ Slate H-295 reads as a muted slate blue-gray with a cool bias and low chroma. It is a fairly dark color with a restrained, technical look rather than a bright or highly saturated one, and the finish can shift slightly toward blue or gray depending on film build, sheen, and substrate.
MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish, which makes this shade useful for touch-up after transportation damage, installation damage, fabrication work, service damage, or missed spots in the original finish. It can also be used on coated parts and ancillary items such as screw heads, trim plugs, end caps, brackets, clips, switch covers, vent covers, speaker grilles, railings, housings, and small fabricated accessories that need to coordinate with an existing coated assembly.
Because the color is relatively dark, surface prep and substrate color can matter more than they would with a lighter tint. Any contrast, sanding marks, or repair edges may remain noticeable until coverage is built, and differences in gloss or texture can change how the slate tone reads beside an existing cured finish. A fresh liquid touch-up may also look different from an older coated part if the original finish has aged or weathered.
For projects that need closer visual coordination than a color-only match, MyPerfectColor provides a practical way to match the color and finish for coated-finish repair, replacement parts, sample panels, and field-modified hardware. It is a matched coating solution, not the original Cerakote coating material, so an existing part should still be checked carefully when the installed finish has gloss, texture, or wear variation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Cerakote™ Cobalt Kinetics™ Slate H-295 *
Will MyPerfectColor Cerakote Cobalt Kinetics Slate H-295 match an existing cured finish exactly?
MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish of Cerakote Cobalt Kinetics Slate H-295, but that does not guarantee the repaired area will read exactly the same as an older cured part. Existing gloss, texture, age, cure, substrate, film build, and batch variation can all change how the finish looks beside the original surface.
If the part is already installed and highly visible, an approved sample or the actual part is the safer reference for deciding whether the match is acceptable.
Can I use Cerakote Cobalt Kinetics Slate H-295 for touch-up after transport or installation damage?
Yes. This color reference is commonly used for touch-up after chips, scratches, rub marks, handling damage, transportation damage, installation damage, fabrication damage, drilled holes, cut edges, or missed spots in the original finish.
Order a MyPerfectColor touch-up format that fits the repair size, and prep the damaged area before applying it. For a small repair on a newer part, a matched touch-up is usually the right starting point. For a larger or aged surrounding finish, expect the repaired spot to be close rather than invisible.
Can Cerakote Cobalt Kinetics Slate H-295 be used for screw heads, plastic snaps, or other ancillary parts?
Yes. Cerakote Cobalt Kinetics Slate H-295 is often ordered for ancillary parts such as screw heads, trim plugs, clips, covers, end caps, fastener hardware, and similar items that need to coordinate with a coated assembly but cannot go through the original coating process.
Choose a format that fits the part size and substrate, and make sure the surface is cleaned and prepared before coating. If the item is plastic or another non-metal substrate, verify that the prep and primer approach are suitable for that material.
How will MyPerfectColor Cerakote Cobalt Kinetics Slate H-295 compare with the cured original finish?
MyPerfectColor makes a paint that precisely matches the color and finish of Cerakote Cobalt Kinetics Slate H-295, but a fresh liquid repair can still read differently next to a cured factory finish. That difference can come from gloss, texture, cure, film build, and how the substrate reflects light.
Use the color reference as the starting point for coordination work, but if the repair must blend into an existing finished part with tight visual tolerance, the safer choice is to compare against the actual part or an approved sample.
What surface prep should I use before applying Cerakote Cobalt Kinetics Slate H-295 to metal, plastic, or a previously coated part?
Start by cleaning and degreasing the surface so oils, dust, and contamination do not interfere with adhesion. Light scuffing may help on some metal or previously coated surfaces, but do not scuff every substrate the same way.
For plastic, existing coatings, or mixed-material parts, primer may be needed depending on the surface and the repair location. If you are unsure, test on a hidden area first so you can confirm adhesion and appearance before doing the visible repair.
How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Cerakote Cobalt Kinetics™ Slate H-295?

MyPerfectColor matches the Cerakote Cobalt Kinetics™ Slate H-295 by scanning the sample with state of the art spectrophotometer and color matching software. The color match is refined through an iterative process to improve the match accuracy of both the color and sheen. MyPerfectColor has an extensive pigment library of over 100 different pigments that include organic and inorganic dispersions, aluminum, bronze and mica-based metallics and pearlescents, and fluorescent pigments. MyPerfectColor can achieve any sheen between flat and gloss. Note that difficult to match colors like metallics, pearlescents, and fluorescents will not match precisely - MyPerfectColor will get as close as possible, but the quality of these matches will not be as good due to the inherent limitations of matching these types of effect colors.
