Match of Wilsonart™ 1500 Grey *

Yes, if you are repairing a factory-finished laminate part after shipping damage, installation damage, field cutting, service work, or a scratch, Wilsonart 1500 Grey is the correct color reference to use for a MyPerfectColor match. For direct touch up in this collection, choose an option that explicitly says Original Material Match, because that is the version that includes a sheen match.

If the repair is beside older installed material, the result can still read differently from the surrounding surface because age, wear, texture, and sheen can change the appearance of the original laminate.

A match of Wilsonart 1500 Grey is a factory color reference, but an installed laminate surface may have changed from sun exposure, cleaning, wear, or batch variation. That means the reference can be correct and the nearby surface can still look different.

If the job is high visibility or the existing part is aged, the safest approach is to treat the brand color as the starting point and expect that sheen, texture, and surface condition can affect the final match.

For direct touch up on factory-finished building materials, use Original Material Match when available because it includes a sheen match. That is the right choice for a repaired spot on the original surface.

Water-based housepaint, urethane, and epoxy can still be color-matched to Wilsonart 1500 Grey, but they do not include a sheen match and should not be treated as direct touch-up products for this type of job. They are better suited to separate parts, accessories, or broader repainting where touch-up performance is not the main goal.

A match of Wilsonart 1500 Grey should be treated as a laminate and surfacing reference, not as a general decor color. That makes it useful when a display panel, trim detail, edge piece, sample board, kiosk part, or other fabricated component needs to coordinate with a Wilsonart laminate finish.

If the job is a direct repair on the original factory-finished surface, use an Original Material Match product. If you are painting a separate fabricated part, choose the product type based on the substrate and the level of sheen coordination you need.

Yes. A match of Wilsonart 1500 Grey is often used to coordinate replacement parts, trim pieces, edge details, brackets, fastener covers, or other paintable accessories with an existing laminate finish.

For these parts, the goal is usually close visual coordination rather than a direct touch-up of the original surface. Use MyPerfectColor paint matched to Wilsonart 1500 Grey, and choose the format that fits the part you are painting. If the item is part of a visible transition, test the finish on a small area first if the match needs to be tight.

If you want to touch up, or need a precise match of the color and sheen of the Wilsonart 1500 Grey, choose spray paint, paint pens or touch up bottles. However, keep in mind that our version of the Wilsonart 1500 Grey is based on matching an official Wilsonart color sample we have in our archives. The color and sheen of your specific Wilsonart materials may vary. If your laminate is not new, then it is likely that the color has changed over time. If your need for a precise match is critical, we recommend that you send a sample so we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the materials of your specific batch.

MyPerfectColor matches the Wilsonart 1500 Grey by scanning the sample with state of the art spectrophotometer and color matching software. The color match is refined through an iterative process to improve the match accuracy of both the color and sheen. MyPerfectColor has an extensive pigment library of over 100 different pigments that include organic and inorganic dispersions, aluminum, bronze and mica-based metallics and pearlescents, and fluorescent pigments. MyPerfectColor can achieve any sheen between flat and gloss. Note that difficult to match colors like metallics, pearlescents, and fluorescents will not match precisely - MyPerfectColor will get as close as possible, but the quality of these matches will not be as good due to the inherent limitations of matching these types of effect colors.
