Match of Home Hardware™ 534 Atlas *

For a match of Home Hardware 534 Atlas in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint, dry-to-touch can happen within minutes, but that is not the same as being ready for another coat or for handling.

Plan on recoating in about 1 to 2 hours, and allow about two weeks for full cure before putting the part into heavier use. If the item is moved or assembled too soon, the finish can mar or mark before it hardens fully.

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used and how you want the finished surface to perform, not just on the color name itself. A match of Home Hardware 534 Atlas is the color reference; the sheen is a separate ordering choice.

Higher gloss finishes are usually easier to clean and more durable-looking, but they also reflect more light and can make a match of Home Hardware 534 Atlas read differently on the finished item. Lower gloss finishes reduce reflection, but they may show wear differently. If you need the new piece to coordinate with an existing painted surface, the sheen should be considered along with the color match.

Before applying a match of Home Hardware 534 Atlas, clean the surface, remove grease or other contaminants, and lightly scuff the surface when that is appropriate for the material. Good prep helps the coating adhere and helps the color lay out more evenly.

Mask off areas that should not be painted, and test on the actual surface first if the material is unfamiliar, slick, or already coated. That is especially useful when you are spraying small parts, hardware, trim pieces, or plastic items where adhesion can vary.

Even when the color match is correct, Home Hardware 534 Atlas can read differently after application because lighting, placement, sheen, texture, and nearby surfaces all affect how it looks on the finished item.

This is normal for any matched paint. A match of Home Hardware 534 Atlas may look slightly different on metal, plastic, wood, or a previously painted surface than it does on a swatch, especially under bright light or in a location with strong surrounding reflections.

Confirm Home Hardware 534 Atlas from a physical swatch from the original brand or from a known existing painted reference before ordering. Screen images can shift with display settings, so they are not the best way to approve the target color.

MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard, so the important step is verifying that Home Hardware 534 Atlas is the correct reference color for your project. Once that is confirmed, you can order the MyPerfectColor match in the format that fits the application.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Home Hardware 534 Atlas, 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.
