Match of Formica™ 3485-58 Black Walnut *

Yes, if you choose a product option that explicitly says Original Material Match. For this collection, that is the touch-up path because it includes a sheen match. MyPerfectColor can make a matched paint for Formica 3485-58 Black Walnut for repair work on factory-finished building materials after shipping, installation, service, or field-cut damage.

If the part is older, scratched, or has a different sheen than the original reference, the repair may still be visible even when the color is correct.

A match of Formica 3485-58 Black Walnut is a factory color reference, but an installed surface can change over time. Sun exposure, weathering, chalking, sheen change, texture, embossing, and batch variation can all make the existing part read differently from the original color reference.

If the area is aged or highly visible, the safest approach is to compare against the actual installed surface or an existing part rather than relying on the name alone.

For direct touch up on factory-finished building materials, choose a product option that explicitly says Original Material Match because it includes a sheen match. That is the correct choice for Formica 3485-58 Black Walnut when you are repairing a small damaged area.

Water-based housepaint and specialty products such as urethane or epoxy can still be color-matched to Formica 3485-58 Black Walnut, but they should be used for separate parts, accessories, or broader repainting, not as the direct touch-up product.

Because Formica 3485-58 Black Walnut is a laminate color reference, it is often used when a fabricated part, fixture detail, edge piece, accessory, sample board, kiosk component, or panel needs to coordinate with that finish.

For those parts, MyPerfectColor can make a matched paint to the selected color reference. If the job is direct touch up on a factory-finished laminate surface, use Original Material Match so the product includes a sheen match.

If the finish is aged, weathered, highly visible, or subject to tight approval, an existing part or factory sample is usually the better reference for Formica 3485-58 Black Walnut. The color name tells you the target reference, but it does not account for wear, sheen change, or surface texture on the installed material.

Using a sample or the actual part helps reduce the risk of ordering a match that is correct for the reference but different from the surface you need to blend.

If you want to touch up, or need a precise match of the color and sheen of the Formica 3485-58 Black Walnut, choose spray paint, paint pens or touch up bottles. However, keep in mind that our version of the Formica 3485-58 Black Walnut is based on matching an official Formica color sample we have in our archives. The color and sheen of your specific Formica 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.

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.

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.
