Match of Kelly Moore™ D 26-1 Coral Cascade *

A MyPerfectColor match of Kelly Moore D 26-1 Coral Cascade can still read differently once it is on the actual item. Daylight, warm indoor bulbs, cool LED lighting, sheen, texture, and nearby surfaces can all change how the color appears. If the finished piece will sit next to an existing painted surface, it is best to test on the actual substrate or a hidden area before doing the full project.

Use light, even coats and let each coat flash before adding the next. Keep the can moving, overlap passes slightly, and avoid heavy wet passes that can cause runs, uneven sheen, or color build-up. Thin coats usually give a better result than one heavy coat, especially on trim, fixtures, hardware, or other small parts.

Clean and degrease the item first, then scuff glossy or slick surfaces lightly where appropriate so the coating can grip. Mask areas you do not want painted, and if the substrate is unfamiliar, make a test application on the actual surface before finishing the full piece. Good prep matters because the color match is only one part of the result; adhesion and final appearance still depend on the surface.

Plan from the size, texture, and number of coats, not just the surface area. As a rule of thumb, one can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, but exact coverage still depends on the product, the surface, and how many coats you need.

Choose sheen based on use, not just color. Lower sheen finishes reduce reflection and are less likely to highlight surface texture, while higher sheen finishes are easier to wipe down and will make the color appear more reflective. The same Kelly Moore D 26-1 Coral Cascade match can look different across sheen levels, so pick the finish that fits the item's handling and cleaning needs.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use.
