Match of Wilsonart™ 4943 Classic Linen *

Yes, if you are doing direct touch up on a factory-finished building material, choose a product option that explicitly says Original Material Match. That is the option that includes a sheen match. MyPerfectColor can make a match of Wilsonart 4943 Classic Linen, but the right format depends on the job. For chips, scratches, rub marks, or cut-edge damage, use Original Material Match. For separate parts or broader repainting, another matched format may be appropriate.

Not always. Wilsonart 4943 Classic Linen identifies the original factory color reference, but an installed surface can look different after sun exposure, wear, cleaning, chalking, sheen change, texture change, or batch variation. That means the color reference can be correct and the repair can still read differently beside the existing surface. If the area is aged or highly visible, it is safer to expect some difference rather than assume a perfect blend.

For direct touch up, order the version that explicitly says Original Material Match. For Wilsonart 4943 Classic Linen, that is the product type intended for factory-finished building materials because it includes a sheen match. Water-based housepaint, urethane, and epoxy can still be color-matched options, but they are better for separate parts, accessories, or broader repainting and should not be treated as direct touch-up products.

A match of Wilsonart 4943 Classic Linen is a laminate color reference, so it is useful when you need replacement parts, trim pieces, edge details, fixtures, displays, sample boards, or other fabricated components to coordinate with that finish. For direct touch up on the original factory-finished laminate surface, use only an Original Material Match product because touch up needs a sheen match. If the item is a separate part, the color reference can help you coordinate the new piece with the existing material.

Reorder by the exact color, Wilsonart 4943 Classic Linen, and the same product type you used before. If the first job was touch up, stay with Original Material Match so the sheen match stays consistent. If you are coating separate parts, keep the format the same across all pieces. Even with the same color reference, the final appearance can still vary with substrate, prep, finish, and the age of nearby material.

If you want to touch up, or need a precise match of the color and sheen of the Wilsonart 4943 Classic Linen, choose spray paint, paint pens or touch up bottles. However, keep in mind that our version of the Wilsonart 4943 Classic Linen 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 4943 Classic Linen 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.
