Match of Formica™ 8256-58 Auburn Maple *

Yes, if the job is direct touch up on a factory-finished building material, order the option that explicitly says Original Material Match. For Formica 8256-58 Auburn Maple, that is the touch-up path because it includes a sheen match. Use it for scratches, rubbed edges, chips, or small service repairs on laminate parts where you want MyPerfectColor paint matched to the Auburn Maple reference.

If you are painting a separate replacement part, trim piece, or accessory, other matched product formats may fit better than a direct touch-up product.

Formica 8256-58 Auburn Maple identifies the factory color reference, but an installed surface can look different after sun exposure, cleaning, wear, texture change, or sheen shift. Even when the color reference is correct, an aged surface may not read the same as a fresh match.

If you are touching up beside older material, use an Original Material Match product for the best touch-up setup, but plan for some visible difference if the surrounding laminate has weathered or changed over time. When the tolerance is tight, a sample or existing-part match is often safer than relying on the catalog reference alone.

For direct touch up on factory-finished building materials, choose Original Material Match for Formica 8256-58 Auburn Maple because it includes a sheen match. That is the right choice when you are repairing a small area on the original laminate or another factory-finished surface.

Other MyPerfectColor formats such as spray paint, paint pens, brush-in-cap bottles, interior/exterior housepaint, epoxy, or urethane can still be color-matched to Auburn Maple, but they are better suited to separate parts, replacement pieces, accessories, or broader repainting jobs. They should not be treated as the direct touch-up option for factory-finished laminate.

A match of Formica 8256-58 Auburn Maple is a laminate color reference, so it should be used to coordinate MyPerfectColor paint on paintable parts that sit with that finish, such as trim details, edge pieces, accessories, sample boards, fabricated components, displays, or fixture parts. It is a practical color reference for matching surrounding items, not a shortcut for repainting the laminate face like a standard paint surface.

If the job is direct touch up on the laminate itself, only the Original Material Match option is appropriate because it includes a sheen match.

Yes. MyPerfectColor can make a matched paint for Formica 8256-58 Auburn Maple when the goal is to blend a replacement part, transition piece, vent cover, trim item, or other paintable accessory with nearby laminate surfaces.

That use case is different from direct touch up on the original surface. If you need repair paint for the factory-finished laminate itself, choose Original Material Match. If you are painting a separate part that needs to coordinate with Auburn Maple, a matched paint in an appropriate format is usually the better ordering choice.

If you want to touch up, or need a precise match of the color and sheen of the Formica 8256-58 Auburn Maple, choose spray paint, paint pens or touch up bottles. However, keep in mind that our version of the Formica 8256-58 Auburn 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.
