Match of Valspar™ 803-1 Victorian Argent Gray *

Confirm the target from a physical swatch, chip, or another known color reference from the original Valspar color, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so the goal is to order the color you intend to reproduce, not the look of an aged or faded existing surface.

If the part you are painting has to sit next to an existing painted area, keep in mind that sheen, age, and substrate can change how the color reads. In that situation, verifying the reference before ordering reduces the risk of getting the wrong match.

For MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to 803-1 Victorian Argent Gray, expect it to be dry to the touch within minutes, ready for recoating in about 1 to 2 hours, and fully cured in about two weeks.

Dry to the touch does not mean the coating is fully hardened, so handle the part carefully between coats and avoid heavy use until the cure time has passed. If your project needs multiple coats, let each coat dry before recoating so the finish builds evenly.

Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to 803-1 Victorian Argent Gray can be used on many plastic parts, but plastics vary a lot and some surfaces need extra prep or primer. Test on the actual part first if possible, especially on low-energy plastics or items that will be handled often.

For better adhesion on difficult plastic surfaces, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel before applying the color coat. Proper cleaning and light surface prep can make a big difference in how well the finish holds.

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used and how much durability or cleanup you need, not just on the color name. Higher gloss levels are usually easier to wipe down and can look more reflective, while lower gloss levels reduce shine but may be less forgiving on surface flaws.

Keep in mind that the same 803-1 Victorian Argent Gray color can look different at different sheens. If you are matching a part to other painted pieces, try to choose a sheen that fits the application and the surrounding surfaces.

Coverage depends on the size of the item, the texture of the surface, the hiding power needed, the application method, and how many coats you plan to apply. A typical spray can covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

If you are painting a rough, porous, dark, or uneven surface, expect to use more material than a smooth, light-colored part. Planning for at least two coats is often the safer approach when you want even coverage in 803-1 Victorian Argent Gray.
