Match of QAP™ 102 Pearl Gray *

Yes, if the repair is on factory-finished siding and you order the Original Material Match option. In this collection, that is the touch-up choice because it includes a sheen match.

It is the right path for small damage from shipping, installation, field cutting, or service work. If the siding is older or weathered, expect some visible difference because age, chalking, texture, and batch variation can affect the result.

Not always exactly. QAP 102 Pearl Gray identifies the brand color reference, but an installed siding panel can change over time from sun, weather, moisture, and chalking.

Even when the MyPerfectColor match is correct, sheen change and surface texture can make a fresh touch-up read differently next to aged siding. If the surrounding surface is weathered, a site sample or existing-part match is usually safer than relying on the brand color reference alone.

For direct touch up on factory-finished siding, choose the product option labeled Original Material Match. That option is the correct touch-up path because it includes a sheen match.

Other MyPerfectColor formats such as spray paint, paint pens, brush-in-cap bottles, housepaint, epoxy, or urethane may be color-matched, but they are better suited to separate parts or broader repainting. They should not be treated as the direct touch-up option for factory-finished siding.

Use QAP 102 Pearl Gray as the color reference for factory-finished siding and for nearby exterior parts that need to blend with it. For replacement boards, trim pieces, or other ancillary items, order a MyPerfectColor match to this color and paint the separate part to coordinate.

If the goal is direct touch up on the original siding surface, use the Original Material Match option so the sheen is matched as well.

Exterior UV, rain, temperature swings, and chalking can change how installed siding looks over time. That means a fresh match to QAP 102 Pearl Gray may not blend perfectly with an aged panel even when the formula is right.

For exposed areas, the safest order is an Original Material Match for touch up, or a sample or existing-part match if the goal is to blend with weathered siding.

It depends. MyPerfectColor matches the color of the QAP 102 Pearl Gray but may not match the sheen. If you see Custom Sheen as a sheen option, this means we also match the sheen of the material, otherwise you would need to pick the closest sheen available. However, keep in mind that our version of the QAP 102 Pearl Gray is based on matching an official QAP color sample. The color and sheen of your specific QAP 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 samples not been exposed to sunlight and weather. If you need a touch up application, you may need to send us a part so we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

MyPerfectColor has the original QAP color samples. A sample of the QAP 102 Pearl Gray you are looking for is in our library. We are able to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

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.
