Match of Abet Laminati™ 388 Microline *

Yes, if you are repairing a factory-finished laminate part and the product option you order explicitly says Original Material Match. For direct touch up on Abet Laminati 388 Microline, that is the option to use because it includes a sheen match. If the damage is on an older installed surface, the repair can still read differently because color is only one part of the match.

Not always. The 388 Microline color reference identifies the factory color target, but an installed surface may have changed from sun exposure, wear, cleaning, texture, embossing, or batch variation. Even with the correct match, a small repair beside an aged panel can look different, so compare against the actual part when the visual tolerance is tight.

For direct touch up, choose the product option that explicitly says Original Material Match because it includes a sheen match. Water-based housepaint and specialty options like urethane or epoxy can be color-matched for separate parts or broader repainting, but they are not the right choice for direct touch-up work on factory-finished building materials.

Use 388 Microline as a color reference when you need a coordinated finish on laminate-related items such as displays, fixtures, trim details, edge pieces, sample boards, kiosks, panels, or fabricated accessories. MyPerfectColor makes a matched paint to that reference so the new part can blend with the branded laminate finish.

Start by cleaning and degreasing the actual part, then follow substrate-specific prep for the material you are coating. Laminates can behave differently from metal, vinyl, fiber cement, and previously coated surfaces, so test on the real substrate before committing to the job. If the goal is direct touch up, use an Original Material Match product because it includes a sheen match.

If you want to touch up, or need a precise match of the color and sheen of the Abet Laminati 388 Microline, choose spray paint, paint pens or touch up bottles. However, keep in mind that our version of the Abet Laminati 388 Microline is based on matching an official Abet Laminati color sample we have in our archives. The color and sheen of your specific Abet Laminati 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 has the original Abet Laminati color samples. A sample of the Abet Laminati 388 Microline you are looking for is in our library. We are able to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

Please note that if your existing materials are not new and you are trying to touch up, they will have aged and are likely different now than they were when new. MyPerfectColor will be sending paint matching the sample at our facility which has not aged the same as your materials and may also be different due to other factors such as variations in manufacturing processes. If your match is critical, you may consider sending a part of your materials for precise color matching. Learn more about our color matching services.
