A match of Prismatic Powders PSS-1718 Captive Blue is a medium-depth blue with a cool, muted character and a slight green cast. It reads subdued rather than bright, with moderate chroma and enough gray in the color to keep it from looking overly clean or vivid.

For powder-coated parts and related coated components, MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish 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 ancillary items such as screw heads, fastener covers, trim plugs, end caps, brackets, vents, and sample panels that need to coordinate with the coated assembly.

Because this is a medium, muted blue, coverage is usually straightforward, but the finished result still depends on substrate color, coat build, and sheen. A liquid touch-up can still read differently from a cured powder-coated finish when gloss, texture, or edge thickness changes how light lands on the surface.

When you are matching an existing part, an approved sample panel or the actual coated piece is safer than relying on the color reference alone if the finish has aged or weathered. That is especially true when the repair sits beside a visible production surface and the original coating has shifted in gloss or texture over time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Prismatic Powders™ PSS-1718 Captive Blue *

Will PSS-1718 Captive Blue from Prismatic Powders match an older cured finish exactly?

MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish of PSS-1718 Captive Blue, but an older or already cured part can still read differently after application. Gloss, texture, age, weathering, cure, substrate, and batch variation can all change how the finish looks beside an existing part.

If the repair must blend with a specific installed piece, use that part or an approved sample as the visual reference whenever possible.

Can I use PSS-1718 Captive Blue for touch-up after shipping damage, installation damage, or missed spots in the original finish?

Yes. A match of Prismatic Powders PSS-1718 Captive Blue is commonly ordered as touch-up paint for chips, scratches, rub marks, transport damage, installation damage, fabrication damage, drilled holes, cut edges, field modifications, or missed coverage in the original finish.

The goal is to match the color and finish of the coated part as closely as possible for repair work, not to change the original coating system. For best results, apply it only to the affected area and confirm the repair against the surrounding cured finish under the same lighting.

Can PSS-1718 Captive Blue be used on screw heads, plastic snaps, trim plugs, or other ancillary parts?

Yes. A match of Prismatic Powders PSS-1718 Captive Blue is often used to coordinate small ancillary items that cannot go through the original coating process, such as screw heads, rivet heads, clips, covers, trim plugs, end caps, and some plastic parts.

For these parts, the main decision is choosing the right application format and making sure the part is clean, paintable, and sized appropriately for the finish method you plan to use. MyPerfectColor offers options such as touch-up paint, custom spray paint, paint pens, and other formats for factory-finish coordination.

If I order a liquid match of PSS-1718 Captive Blue from Prismatic Powders, will it look identical to the cured finish on my part?

Not always. MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish of PSS-1718 Captive Blue, but a fresh liquid application can still look different next to an older cured finish because the original part may have its own gloss, texture, film build, cure, and age-related changes.

If you need a side-by-side match on an existing coated part, the safest approach is to compare against the actual part or an approved sample rather than relying on the brand reference alone.

How do gloss and texture affect a PSS-1718 Captive Blue match?

Gloss, texture, and film build can change how PSS-1718 Captive Blue appears after application. Even when the color is correct, a smoother, flatter, or thicker application can read differently from a textured or higher-gloss coated surface.

For that reason, match decisions should account for the original surface condition as well as the color reference. If the part you are repairing has a specific sheen or texture, choose the format and application method that best fits that finish behavior.

How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Prismatic Powders PSS-1718 Captive Blue?
