Match of QAP™ 248 Sage *

For direct touch up on factory-finished siding, order MyPerfectColor paint matched to QAP 248 Sage in an Original Material Match option. That is the path intended for shipping damage, installation damage, field cutting, service work, scratches, or edge wear because it includes a sheen match.

If the repair is on the original installed surface, expect the surrounding material and the new paint to be influenced by age, weathering, texture, and batch variation even when the color reference is correct.

A match of QAP 248 Sage is the color reference MyPerfectColor uses to make the matched paint, but an older installed siding surface can look different from that reference after sun exposure, weathering, chalking, or sheen change. So the color match can be correct and the aged surface can still read differently.

If the part you are repairing is visible next to older siding, plan for those finish differences and, when possible, compare against the actual installed surface or an existing part rather than only the brand color reference.

For direct touch up on factory-finished building materials, use an Original Material Match option for QAP 248 Sage because it includes a sheen match. Water-based housepaint, urethane, and epoxy can still be color-matched, but they are better suited to separate parts, accessories, or broader repainting and should not be treated as the direct touch-up choice.

If the job is a replacement part or a painted accessory, choose the format that fits that part and the application method, then match it to QAP 248 Sage.

A match of QAP 248 Sage is listed here as a siding color reference, so the most direct use case is siding-related work. It can also be used as a match reference for nearby paintable items that need to coordinate with that siding, such as trim, soffit, fascia, shutters, or other exterior accessories, as long as the part is being painted rather than touched up as the original surface.

For direct touch up on the factory-finished siding itself, choose an Original Material Match option.

Yes. A match of QAP 248 Sage can be used as the match reference for a replacement part, trim piece, vent cover, flashing, gutter section, or other paintable transition item that needs to blend with existing QAP siding.

That use case is different from a direct touch up on the original siding surface. If you are repairing the factory-finished siding itself, choose an Original Material Match option so the product includes a sheen match.

It depends. MyPerfectColor matches the color of the QAP 248 Sage 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 248 Sage 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 248 Sage 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.
