A match of QAP 547 RMC Slate Blue is a cool, muted blue-gray with a low-chroma slate character. It sits in a medium depth range, with a slightly steel-like cast rather than a clear or bright blue.

MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to this building-material color reference can be used on siding-related parts that need coordination, such as replacement trim, vent covers, soffit or fascia pieces, shutters, brackets, louver inserts, fastener caps, and other paintable accessories. For direct touch up on factory-finished siding, use an Original Material Match option when available because it includes a sheen match.

The subdued chroma helps the color stay restrained, but finish and substrate still matter. On older installed material, weathering, texture, embossing, and gloss differences can make a correct color match read differently beside the surrounding surface, so the result may not blend the same way on every panel or repair area.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of QAP™ 547 RMC Slate Blue *

Can QAP 547 RMC Slate Blue be used for touch up after shipping or installation damage on factory-finished siding?

Yes. For direct touch up on factory-finished siding in QAP 547 RMC Slate Blue, choose an Original Material Match product option when it is available because it includes a sheen match.

That is the right path for chips, scratches, edge damage, field cuts, rub marks, and service work on the original surface. MyPerfectColor can make a matched paint to this building-material color reference for that kind of repair.

How close will QAP 547 RMC Slate Blue match an older installed siding surface?

A match of QAP 547 RMC Slate Blue is a brand color reference, so it is the right starting point for ordering a match. However, an older installed surface can look different because of sun exposure, weathering, chalking, sheen change, texture, and batch variation.

If the repair area is beside aged siding, expect the best result from an Original Material Match touch-up product, but do not assume the repair will disappear completely against the existing surface.

Which MyPerfectColor product should I order for QAP 547 RMC Slate Blue, and when are other formats better?

For direct touch up on factory-finished building materials, use an Original Material Match product because it includes a sheen match. That is the correct choice for QAP 547 RMC Slate Blue when the goal is repair work on the original surface.

Water-based housepaint, urethane, epoxy, spray paint, paint pens, and brush-in-cap bottles can still be color-matched options, but they are better suited to separate parts, accessories, or broader repainting where a sheen-matched touch up is not the goal.

Is QAP 547 RMC Slate Blue the right reference for siding and related exterior parts?

Yes. A match of QAP 547 RMC Slate Blue is a siding color reference, so it is appropriate when a replacement siding piece, trim piece, or nearby exterior accessory needs to blend with the existing factory-finished material.

If you are repairing the original surface itself, order an Original Material Match product. If you are painting a separate part or a replacement piece, choose the MyPerfectColor format that fits that part and application.

How do finish, texture, and embossing affect QAP 547 RMC Slate Blue on siding?

Even when the color match is correct, QAP 547 RMC Slate Blue can read differently if the surface does not have the same sheen, texture, embossing, or substrate as the original siding.

That is why Original Material Match matters for direct touch up. It gives you a sheen match, but the final appearance can still vary if the repaired area sits next to weathered or textured factory-finished material.

How quickly will I receive my paint matched to QAP 547 RMC Slate Blue?

Can I use this QAP 547 RMC Slate Blue paint to touch up my QAP materials?

It depends. MyPerfectColor matches the color of the QAP 547 RMC Slate Blue 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 547 RMC Slate Blue 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.
