Match of CertainTeed™ Bufftech Almond Certagrain *

For direct touch up on factory-finished siding, choose an Original Material Match option for CertainTeed Bufftech Almond Certagrain 497658 because that is the path that includes a sheen match. That is the right starting point for scratches, rub marks, small edge damage, missed cuts, or service work.

If the repair is being made beside existing installed siding, remember that the surrounding surface may have aged or changed sheen, so the repaired area may not blend invisibly even when the color reference is correct.

The CertainTeed Bufftech Almond Certagrain 497658 reference gives the target color, but the installed surface may read differently after sun exposure, weathering, chalking, gloss change, texture wear, or batch variation. That means a correct match to the brand color can still look different beside older siding.

If the visual tolerance is tight, compare against an existing part or factory sample when possible. For touch up, Original Material Match is still the right product path because it includes a sheen match, but it cannot remove the effects of age on the surrounding material.

For direct touch up on CertainTeed Bufftech Almond Certagrain 497658, order an Original Material Match product because it includes a sheen match. That is the format to use when the goal is to repair the original factory-finished surface after damage or field work.

Water-based housepaint, urethane, and epoxy can still be color-matched options, but they are better suited to separate parts, accessories, or broader repainting. They should not be treated as direct touch-up products for factory-finished building materials.

Yes. CertainTeed Bufftech Almond Certagrain 497658 is a siding-family building-material reference, so it can be used to match replacement pieces and nearby items that need to coordinate with the siding, such as trim, soffit, fascia, shutters, vents, flashings, or gutters.

If you are touching up the original factory-finished siding itself, choose Original Material Match. If you are painting a separate part or accessory, select the product format that fits that part and the job requirements.

Reorder by the exact color reference, the product type, and the finish you used before. For CertainTeed Bufftech Almond Certagrain 497658, keeping those details the same helps reduce variation across replacement parts, accessories, or repeat repair work.

Even with the same reference, the final look can still change based on substrate, prep, application method, and the age of the surrounding material. If the first job was a touch up on factory-finished siding, use the same Original Material Match approach for the closest repeat result.

It depends. MyPerfectColor matches the color of the CertainTeed Bufftech Almond Certagrain 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 CertainTeed Bufftech Almond Certagrain is based on matching an official CertainTeed color sample. The color and sheen of your specific CertainTeed 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.
