Match of Home Hardware™ 512 Habitat *

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product you order, not to the 512 Habitat name by itself. If you need the SDS for a MyPerfectColor match of 512 Habitat from Home Hardware, check the Safety Data Sheets page for the specific product format you plan to buy: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

If you are comparing spray paint, paint pens, or another format, make sure the SDS matches the exact MyPerfectColor product, since different product types can have different safety information.

For 512 Habitat in MyPerfectColor spray paint, expect dry-to-touch within minutes, recoating in about 1 to 2 hours, and full cure in about two weeks.

Those are separate milestones. A part can feel dry before it is ready for another coat, and it can be recoated before it is fully cured. Dry time can also change with coat thickness, temperature, humidity, and the material you are painting.

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used, because sheen affects durability, reflectivity, cleanup, and how 512 Habitat will look on the finished item. A higher sheen is usually easier to clean and can be more durable, while a lower sheen reduces reflectivity.

Also note that 512 Habitat can look a little different across sheens, even when the color match is the same. If you are coating items like vents, switch covers, railings, or hardware, pick the finish that fits the use of the part, not just the color name.

Custom-made color matches of 512 Habitat should be chosen carefully because they are not returnable or refundable. Before ordering, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need.

If you are matching 512 Habitat for a specific part or project, it is better to verify the order details first than to assume the color, format, or finish can be changed later.

Plastics vary a lot, so 512 Habitat should be tested on the actual part whenever possible. MyPerfectColor spray paint will stick well to many plastics, but using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult or low-energy surfaces.

If you are painting items like covers, trim pieces, fixtures, or other plastic parts, prep the surface first and test a small area before coating the full piece. That is the safest way to reduce adhesion risk on unfamiliar plastics.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Home Hardware 512 Habitat 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.

MyPerfectColor offers custom spray paint matched to Home Hardware 512 Habitat which enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish. It is difficult to gauge spray paint coverage because it depends on how you apply it and the amount of overspray, but generally the 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. This paint sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Home Hardware 512 Habitat, we don't provide any crossover information because this is a subjective determination. Every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, so determining which color is the best approximation is a judgement call.

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