Match of Kelly Moore™ J 18-2 Country Classic *

The best finish depends on how the item will be used and how you want the matched color to read on the finished surface. Higher-gloss finishes are usually easier to clean but they also reflect more light and can make surface flaws more visible. Lower-sheen finishes hide more and can look softer, but they may not clean as easily.

If you are matching a part that sits near an existing painted surface, choose the sheen that best fits the surrounding item so the match is not affected by a finish difference. MyPerfectColor can supply a match of J 18-2 Country Classic in a suitable product format for your project.

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to J 18-2 Country Classic is a practical choice for smaller items such as baskets, frames, shelving, decor pieces, hardware, and furniture accents.

For the best result, clean the item first and make sure the surface is ready to accept paint. Spray application is usually best for pieces where even coverage matters and where brushing would leave unwanted marks. If the object has tight details or irregular shapes, spray paint is often the simplest way to coordinate it to the selected color reference.

Before ordering, confirm the exact color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need. J 18-2 Country Classic identifies the target color, but it does not by itself tell you the finish or the best product format for your project.

Custom-made color matches should be chosen carefully because they are made to order and are not returnable or refundable. If you need the color for a specific part, make sure the reference is correct before you place the order.

Clean the surface first, then remove dust, grease, loose paint, and any rust or contamination. If the old coating is smooth and glossy, scuffing it helps the new paint bond better. If the existing finish is failing, peeling, or uneven, that condition can affect how the new match looks after application.

Keep in mind that gloss, texture, and the condition of the previous coating can change how J 18-2 Country Classic appears on the finished item. A test area is useful when you are painting metal, plastic, or another surface that has already been coated.

Coverage depends on the size of the item, the surface texture, the hiding power needed, the application method, and how many coats you plan to apply. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon.

If you are painting a textured, porous, dark, or uneven surface, plan on needing more paint than a smooth surface would require. It is usually better to estimate based on the item size and expected number of coats rather than relying on color name alone.

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 J 18-2 Country Classic 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.

While we can provide Kelly Moore J 18-2 Country Classic 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.
