Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of Kelly Moore S 39-3 Vagabond reads as a medium-depth gray-green with a soft, muted character. The low chroma keeps it from looking bright or saturated, while the slight green cast gives it more presence than a plain neutral gray. In MyPerfectColor paint, it is a practical match for shoppers who want this restrained, earthy color reference reproduced on a part or accessory.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, railings, shelf brackets, mailbox parts, PVC trim pieces, hardware, frames, and other small fixtures that need a coordinated finish. It also fits removable parts on cabinets, kiosks, displays, access panels, and maintenance items where a repeatable color match matters more than coating a large wall surface.

Because the color is muted rather than highly saturated, it usually reads more evenly than a vivid green, but finish, substrate, and film build can still shift how gray or green it appears. On smooth metal or plastic, careful prep and an even coat help it settle cleanly; on textured or previously coated surfaces, sheen differences and surface condition can become more noticeable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Kelly Moore™ S 39-3 Vagabond *

Can I order Kelly Moore S 39-3 Vagabond in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for trim, vents, hardware, or other small parts?

Yes. A match of Kelly Moore S 39-3 Vagabond in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint is a practical option for trim details, vents, pipes, railings, hardware, accessories, and other small parts that are awkward to coat with a brush.

This is especially useful when you want a color-coordinated part, fixture, or removable component rather than the original Kelly Moore paint product. For the best result, choose the right format for the item size and confirm the target color reference before ordering.

What should I confirm before ordering a custom match of Kelly Moore S 39-3 Vagabond if the color cannot be returned?

Before ordering, confirm the exact Kelly Moore S 39-3 Vagabond reference, the MyPerfectColor product format you need, the sheen, and the quantity. Custom-made color matches are made to order, so they should be selected carefully.

If the color reference, finish, or product type is wrong, the result may not be usable for your project. Verifying those details up front is the best way to avoid ordering the wrong custom match.

Will MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Kelly Moore S 39-3 Vagabond work on plastic parts?

MyPerfectColor spray paint can adhere well to many plastics, but plastics vary a lot, so testing on the actual part is important before committing to the full project. For difficult plastic surfaces, using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can help improve adhesion.

Surface prep matters on plastics because some types are smooth or low-energy and may resist coating differently. If the part is critical, do a test spray on the actual material first so you can confirm adhesion and appearance with the Kelly Moore S 39-3 Vagabond match.

How do I confirm that I am ordering the correct Kelly Moore S 39-3 Vagabond color reference?

Confirm the target color from a physical swatch or a known existing Kelly Moore color reference rather than relying on screen color alone. MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color reference, so the reference you choose should be the one you actually want reproduced.

Also remember that the code S 39-3 Vagabond identifies a color target, not the sheen, product line, or how an old painted surface has aged. If you are matching an existing part, verify the reference carefully before placing the order.

What spray technique should I use for a match of Kelly Moore S 39-3 Vagabond to avoid runs or uneven coverage?

Use light, even coats and keep the spray moving so the paint lands consistently across the surface. Hold a steady distance, overlap each pass slightly, and avoid heavy passes that can cause runs, sheen differences, or color build that looks uneven.

For a match of Kelly Moore S 39-3 Vagabond, multiple thin coats usually give better control than one heavy coat, especially on small parts or detailed items. If the substrate or shape is unusual, test first so you can adjust technique before painting the final piece.
