Match of Porter Paints™ 1003 T *

MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets are tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the Porter Paints 1003 T color name by itself. To find the correct SDS, use the Safety Data Sheets information for the specific MyPerfectColor product you plan to order.

If you are comparing formats, make sure the SDS matches the exact MyPerfectColor paint product, such as custom spray paint or another listed format, before you place the order.

Because MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint for Porter Paints 1003 T is made to order, confirm the color reference, product type, sheen, and quantity before you buy. That helps reduce the risk of ordering the wrong combination for your project.

Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to verify the details up front before placing the order.

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used and how much durability or cleanup you need. The sheen also changes how Porter Paints 1003 T will look on the finished item, since gloss level affects reflectivity and the way the matched color reads after application.

If you are painting a part, fixture, or accessory, think about the surface, handling, and wear before you decide on a finish. The same color reference can look different in matte, satin, or glossier finishes.

Plastic surfaces vary a lot, so the right prep can matter as much as the color match. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but testing on the actual material is still a good idea because some plastics need different prep or primers.

If you want better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel before applying Porter Paints 1003 T. That is especially helpful when you are coating low-energy or hard-to-bond surfaces.

Use light, even coats rather than heavy passes. Keep a steady distance, overlap each pass consistently, and avoid flooding the surface, since heavy application can cause runs, uneven sheen, or muddy color build.

For small parts, hardware, vents, grilles, or fixtures, a controlled spray pattern usually gives a cleaner result and helps the Porter Paints 1003 T match look more even on the finished item.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Porter Paints 1003 T 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 Porter Paints 1003 T, 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.
