A match of Cerakote Cadex Tan H-308 is a muted tan-brown with a warm, earthy cast and relatively low chroma. It reads as a deeper neutral rather than a bright tan, with enough gray-brown softness to keep the color subdued.
For touch-up after transportation damage, installation damage, fabrication work, service wear, or missed spots in the original finish, MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish for liquid-coated parts and related components. It can be used on frames, brackets, enclosures, housings, railings, vent covers, trim plugs, screw heads, end caps, and other fabricated or ancillary items that need to coordinate with a coated assembly.
Because this is a darker, low-saturation color, sheen, substrate, and film build can influence how evenly it reads after application. Small repairs may show edge contrast or a slight shift in depth if the surrounding finish is older, textured, or exposed to wear.
If you are matching an existing cured part, remember that age, weathering, and finish differences can make a fresh coating read differently even when the color reference is correct. When the tolerance is tight, an approved sample or the original part is safer than relying on the reference alone.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Cerakote™ Cadex Tan H-308 *
Will Cerakote Cadex Tan H-308 look the same on my old cured part as it does on a new repair?
MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish of Cerakote Cadex Tan H-308, but an older cured part can still read differently from a fresh repair. Gloss, texture, age, weathering, cure, substrate, and batch variation can all change how the finish looks in place. If the repair will sit beside an existing coated area, use the code as the reference but expect the surrounding finish to influence the final visual result.
Is Cerakote Cadex Tan H-308 a good match for chips, scratches, or missed spots on a coated part?
Yes. A match of Cerakote Cadex Tan H-308 is a practical reference for touch-up after transportation damage, installation damage, fabrication work, field modifications, drilled holes, cut edges, rub marks, scratches, chips, or missed spots in the original finish. Order the format that fits the size of the repair: a small repair usually calls for touch-up paint or a paint pen, while a larger area may be better served with spray paint.
Can I use Cerakote Cadex Tan H-308 on screw heads, clips, or plastic trim parts that cannot be coated the original way?
Yes, if the item cannot go through the original coating process but still needs to coordinate with the finished assembly. A match of Cerakote Cadex Tan H-308 is commonly used for small ancillary parts such as screw heads, clips, covers, trim plugs, end caps, and similar hardware. Make sure the part is clean, properly prepared, and sized for the format you order.
If I order Cerakote Cadex Tan H-308 in touch-up paint, will it match the cured finish on my part exactly?
No. Even when MyPerfectColor matches Cerakote Cadex Tan H-308 correctly, a fresh liquid paint repair can still look different beside a cured finish because gloss, texture, film build, cure, age, and substrate affect appearance. The color reference is still useful, but it does not guarantee the liquid touch-up will blend invisibly into every existing coated part.
Should I use an existing part or sample panel instead of the Cerakote Cadex Tan H-308 color code for a tight match?
Use an existing coated part or approved sample panel when the match is highly visible, the tolerance is tight, or the finish has texture, effect, or age-related change. A match of Cerakote Cadex Tan H-308 can be a good starting reference, but a physical part gives a better visual target than the name or code alone when you need to compare real-world finish behavior.
How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Cerakote Cadex Tan H-308?
