Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application

A match of Valspar 799-2 Quaker Blue reads as a light-to-medium muted blue-gray with a cool cast and a faint green undertone. The color is soft rather than vivid, with low chroma and a calm, slightly weathered character that can shift subtly with sheen and substrate.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color is suited to small parts and fixtures where a restrained blue-green gray is needed. It can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, railings, brackets, mailbox parts, shutter hardware, PVC trim, shelving, frames, and other removable or spray-friendly pieces that need a consistent match to the selected brand color reference.

Because the color is fairly light and muted, it will usually read evenly, but dark or uneven substrates can still show through if preparation is incomplete. Finish also matters: gloss can make the blue-green note feel clearer, while flatter finishes can soften it further. On exterior parts, surface texture, film build, and normal weathering can change how the color reads over time.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Valspar™ 799-2 Quaker Blue *

How should I spray 799-2 Quaker Blue by Valspar so the finish stays even on small parts?

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 799-2 Quaker Blue is usually best applied in light, even coats from a consistent distance with about the same overlap on each pass. Heavy coats can cause runs, uneven sheen, or make the color build look muddy. If the part is visible from close range, test on a small area first and let each coat flash off per the product directions before adding the next coat.

Before I order 799-2 Quaker Blue by Valspar, what should I verify since custom matches are not returnable?

Before ordering, confirm the color reference itself, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need. MyPerfectColor is making a custom match of 799-2 Quaker Blue, not selling the original Valspar paint, and custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable. Verifying those details first helps avoid ordering the wrong format or finish.

Can I spray 799-2 Quaker Blue by Valspar on plastic parts, and what prep should I plan for?

Plastics vary widely, so test the actual part before coating a large area. MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to 799-2 Quaker Blue can work on many plastic items, but adhesion depends on the specific substrate, any old coating, and surface prep. Clean the part well, prepare it for paint, and use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel when you need better adhesion on difficult or low-energy surfaces.

Where do I find the SDS for 799-2 Quaker Blue by Valspar?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product and chemistry, not to the 799-2 Quaker Blue color name by itself. If you need safety information, identify the exact MyPerfectColor product you plan to order and use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for that product type. That is the correct place to check before use or purchase.

How much 799-2 Quaker Blue by Valspar should I order for my project?
