Match of Home Hardware™ Cartier CC074-4 *

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used and how much cleaning or wear it needs. Lower sheen finishes usually hide surface flaws better, while higher sheen finishes are typically easier to wipe clean and can look more reflective. On a match of Cartier CC074-4, the sheen you select can also change how the color reads on the finished item, so order the finish that fits the substrate and the end use, not just the color name.

Plastic substrates vary a lot, so test the actual part first if the item matters. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but using the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel can improve adhesion on difficult surfaces. For Cartier CC074-4, clean and prep the part first, then test a small area before painting the full piece.

SDS information is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product and chemistry, not the Cartier CC074-4 color name by itself. Check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets for the specific product format you are ordering, such as spray paint or another matched paint form. If you need compliance details for a project, use the SDS for the exact product, not the color reference alone.

Even when the color match is correct, Cartier CC074-4 can read differently once it is on the part because lighting, sheen, surface texture, and nearby colors all affect appearance. A spray-painted metal cover, plastic vent, or fixture may look slightly different than the same color on a smooth sample. If the item will sit next to an existing painted surface, test under the actual lighting before finishing the full project.

Apply Cartier CC074-4 in light, even coats rather than one heavy pass. Keep the spray distance consistent, overlap each pass slightly, and let each coat flash before adding the next one so you avoid runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy build-up of color. This approach is useful on real project parts like PVC pipe, vents, speaker grilles, switch covers, hardware, and removable fixtures where a clean, repeatable spray finish matters.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Home Hardware Cartier CC074-4 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 MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Home Hardware Cartier CC074-4, 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.
