A match of Valspar 728A-3 Autumn Maple is a medium-depth warm red-brown with an earthy, muted character. The color sits closer to a softened maple brown than a clean red, with enough body to read substantial without looking overly dark or saturated.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on practical parts that benefit from a warmer brown-red finish, such as railings, brackets, switch covers, speaker grilles, vents, shelf supports, mailbox hardware, shutters, and decorative trim pieces. It is also a useful choice for painted metal or plastic accessories where a coordinated, non-bright color is needed, including frames, baskets, knobs, and small furniture components.

Because this is a medium color with moderate chroma, the final result can shift noticeably with finish, substrate, and film build. Smooth surfaces usually show the color more clearly, while textured or porous surfaces may mute it a bit. Over darker or uneven substrates, additional coats may be needed for even coverage and a consistent read.

As with many warm reds and browns, sheen can change how deep or open the color appears. A glossier finish may make the red-brown note more noticeable, while a flatter finish can make it read softer and more subdued.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Valspar™ 728A-3 Autumn Maple *

How do I confirm Valspar 728A-3 Autumn Maple before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm Valspar 728A-3 Autumn Maple from a physical swatch, a known existing painted sample, or another trusted color reference before you order. Screen viewing alone can shift the appearance of the color. MyPerfectColor is making a custom match to the selected Valspar color reference, so the better the reference you verify first, the lower the risk of ordering the wrong color.

How much Valspar 728A-3 Autumn Maple do I need for my project?

Coverage depends on the size of the item, surface texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paints commonly cover about 400 to 600 square feet. If the surface is rough, dark, or uneven, plan for extra material so you do not run short before the finish is complete.

Will Valspar 728A-3 Autumn Maple look the same in matte and gloss MyPerfectColor finishes?

No. The same Valspar 728A-3 Autumn Maple color reference can read differently in matte, satin, or gloss because the finish changes how light reflects off the surface. If the finish matters to your project, choose the sheen first and expect the final look to change even when the color match itself is correct.

Can I use Valspar 728A-3 Autumn Maple on plastic parts?

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so test on the actual part before painting a final piece. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer can help improve adhesion. Clean the part first and make sure the surface is prepared for paint, since the plastic type and surface condition can affect the result.

What prep should I do before applying Valspar 728A-3 Autumn Maple over metal or an existing coating?

Clean the surface first, remove dirt, grease, rust, and loose coating, then scuff sound glossy areas so the new paint can grab properly. The condition of the old coating, plus its gloss and texture, can change how Valspar 728A-3 Autumn Maple looks after application. If the existing surface is uneven or failing, test a small area before coating the whole item.

How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Valspar 728A-3 Autumn Maple?

Keep in mind that this just shows similar colors based on the color values we have stored in our database. It doesn't mean it is the same or give any approximation about how close the color is. You can play around with the Hue, Lightness and Chroma sliders to expand the selection.
