Match of Formica™ 9257-58 Glow Maple *

Yes, if you are repairing a factory-finished building material or a related part, MyPerfectColor can make a match of Formica 9257-58 Glow Maple for that purpose. For direct touch up, choose only a product option that explicitly says Original Material Match, because that is the option that includes a sheen match.

If the damage is on an installed surface, make sure you are matching the actual part in front of you, not just the color reference, because age and finish differences can affect the result.

Formica 9257-58 Glow Maple identifies the original brand color reference, but an installed surface can change over time. Sun exposure, wear, chalking, sheen change, texture, and batch variation can all make the existing surface read differently beside a fresh match of the same color.

If the job is high visibility or the surface is aged, it is safer to compare against the actual installed material or a site sample before ordering.

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 repair on the original surface.

Other MyPerfectColor formats, including water-based housepaint, urethane, epoxy, spray paint, paint pens, or brush-in-cap bottles, may still be color-matched to Formica 9257-58 Glow Maple, but they are better suited to separate parts, accessories, or broader repainting where a sheen-matched touch up is not the goal.

Yes. A match of Formica 9257-58 Glow Maple is a laminate color reference, so MyPerfectColor can make a matched paint for related parts such as edge pieces, trim details, accessories, displays, sample boards, kiosks, or fabricated components that need to blend with that finish.

That said, the original laminate face is not an easy paint-repair surface. If you are working on the actual factory-finished laminate surface, the product choice should be based on whether you need direct touch up or a coordinated match on a separate part.

Prep depends on the substrate. Clean and degrease the part first, then use only the level of scuffing that is appropriate for the material. Some surfaces also need primer, while others may not.

Because metal, vinyl, fiber cement, laminates, and previously coated parts behave differently, test the Formica 9257-58 Glow Maple match on the actual substrate before committing to the full job. That is the best way to confirm adhesion and appearance.

If you want to touch up, or need a precise match of the color and sheen of the Formica 9257-58 Glow Maple, choose spray paint, paint pens or touch up bottles. However, keep in mind that our version of the Formica 9257-58 Glow Maple 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. 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.
