A match of Home Hardware CD050 Black Tie reads as a deep charcoal gray with a slight cool cast. It is lower in chroma than a clean black, so it can look softer and more muted while still staying firmly in the dark-neutral range. The small blue shift in the color data gives it a cooler, more restrained character than a warm charcoal.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Home Hardware CD050 Black Tie can be used on vents, return-air grilles, switch plates, speaker grilles, shelf brackets, railings, mailbox hardware, and trim pieces that need a dark, understated finish. It also suits PVC fittings, conduit, cabinet pulls, appliance accents, and other removable parts where a consistent charcoal-gray match is more useful than a bright or high-contrast color.

Because this is a darker, low-chroma color, surface condition can still show through in the final appearance. Texture, sanding marks, and sheen differences may be easier to notice on glossy or uneven substrates, and thin film build can make the color read slightly lighter in spots. Careful prep and even application help the match look uniform on metal, plastic, wood, and previously coated parts.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Home Hardware™ CD050 Black Tie *

Where can I find the SDS for CD050 Black Tie from Home Hardware?

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product or chemistry, not to the color name alone. For CD050 Black Tie, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

If you are ordering this color in a different product format, confirm the SDS for that specific MyPerfectColor product before use.

Can CD050 Black Tie from Home Hardware be used on plastic parts, and do I need primer?

A match of Home Hardware CD050 Black Tie can be ordered as MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to this color, but plastics vary widely and some are harder to coat than others. Test on the actual part first if adhesion is important.

MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel can improve adhesion on difficult surfaces. If the plastic is unfamiliar, a primer and a small test area are the safest way to reduce risk before painting the full item.

How does the finish affect how CD050 Black Tie from Home Hardware will look after painting?

Finish changes how much light the coating reflects, so the same CD050 Black Tie match can read differently on the finished item depending on sheen. This is a practical coating variable, not just a style choice.

If the part will sit next to another coated surface, use the finish that best fits the project and test on the actual substrate when appearance matters. The color code alone does not define the finish, so make sure you are ordering the MyPerfectColor product in the sheen you want.

What dry time should I expect for CD050 Black Tie from Home Hardware in spray paint?

For MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to CD050 Black Tie, dry-to-touch is typically within minutes. Recoating should be done in about 1 to 2 hours, and the coating is fully cured in about 2 weeks.

Those are different stages, so do not assume a piece is ready for full handling just because it feels dry. If the part needs stacking, installation, or repeated contact, wait for the cure time that matches the project.
