Match of Pratt and Lambert™ R118A *

Yes, but the same R118A color can read differently in matte, satin, or gloss because the finish changes how light reflects off the surface. The color target is still R118A, but the finished part may look lighter, deeper, or more reflective depending on sheen and substrate.

If you need the closest practical result, choose the finish that matches the item or surface you are coating, not just the color code. MyPerfectColor supplies paint matched to R118A in the selected format, and finish choice is part of how the result will appear after it is applied.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the Pratt and Lambert R118A color name alone. To review safety information, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the product you are ordering: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

If you are comparing formats, make sure you are looking at the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor paint product you plan to use, since different product types can have different safety details.

Yes. A match of Pratt and Lambert R118A can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Pratt and Lambert color reference for projects like baskets, frames, furniture accents, shelving, and other small items.

Spray paint is often the practical choice when the part is small, shaped awkwardly, or easier to coat off the wall or off the main installation. If the item will be handled often or used in a visible area, make sure the surface is properly prepared so the match and finish are applied evenly.

Plastic can be a good candidate for MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to R118A, but plastics vary widely and some need extra prep for reliable adhesion. Testing on the actual material is the safest way to confirm the result.

MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult substrates. If the part is a low-energy plastic or an unknown blend, primer and a test application are the best ways to reduce risk before coating the full item.

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats are needed. For spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

If you are coating a basket, frame, vent cover, or similar item, estimate based on the total area to be painted and allow extra for a second coat or for surfaces that absorb more paint. For larger projects, other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, depending on the product and surface conditions.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Pratt and Lambert R118A 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 Pratt and Lambert R118A which enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish.

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 Pratt and Lambert R118A, 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.
