Match of Kelly Moore™ H 36-1 Cafe Au Lait *

Even when the color match is correct, H 36-1 Cafe Au Lait can read differently after application because lighting, sheen, substrate texture, film build, and nearby surfaces all affect the finished look. A spray-applied part can also appear a little different than the same color on a brushed or rolled surface.

If the item will sit next to an existing painted surface, the safest approach is to test the match on the actual part first. That helps you see how H 36-1 Cafe Au Lait behaves on that specific material and in the lighting where it will be used.

For H 36-1 Cafe Au Lait, start with a clean, dry, grease-free surface. Light scuffing can help where the material allows it, and masking is important when you want a neat edge on trim pieces, fixtures, hardware, or removable parts. If the surface is unfamiliar, test a small area first before coating the whole item.

This matters for spray paint projects on metal, plastic, wood, PVC, grilles, vents, and similar parts because poor prep can change adhesion and make the color read unevenly. MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint can be used on many project surfaces, but the prep should fit the actual substrate.

Before ordering H 36-1 Cafe Au Lait, confirm the brand color reference, the product format you need, the sheen, and the quantity. MyPerfectColor is making its own paint matched to the selected brand color reference, not selling the original Kelly Moore paint product.

Because custom-made color orders are made to your specification, they should be checked carefully before purchase. This is especially important if the color needs to coordinate with an existing item, a fixed surface, or a part that will be seen in close view.

Coverage for H 36-1 Cafe Au Lait depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you expect to need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, depending on the product and the surface.

If you are painting items like vents, pipe, mailboxes, shutters, brackets, or small fixtures, estimate based on the actual surface area rather than the object count. Rough or porous surfaces usually need more paint than smooth ones, and lighter colors may show contrast more quickly over darker substrates.

Choose the sheen for H 36-1 Cafe Au Lait based on how the item will be used and how much reflectivity you want, not just the color name. Higher gloss usually gives more durability and easier cleaning, while lower gloss hides surface marks better. The sheen also changes how the matched color reads once it is applied.

If you are finishing parts such as hardware, grilles, pipes, or fixtures, the sheen should match the practical needs of the item and the surrounding surfaces. MyPerfectColor can supply H 36-1 Cafe Au Lait in a format that fits the project, but the final appearance will depend on the chosen finish.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Kelly Moore H 36-1 Cafe Au Lait enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish in any color in any sheen. It sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

The MyPerfectColor 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat. Keep in mind that it is difficult to gauge spray paint need as the coverage is highly dependent on how it is applied. Learn more about how spray paint works at MyPerfectColor.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Kelly Moore H 36-1 Cafe Au Lait in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

While we can provide Kelly Moore H 36-1 Cafe Au Lait in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another brand.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the brand you want.

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.
