Match of Porter Paints™ 1008 R *

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the Porter Paints 1008 R color name by itself. Check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the exact product format you plan to order, such as spray paint or another paint type. Make sure the SDS matches the product you are buying, not just the color reference.

Start by cleaning the surface, removing dirt, oil, and grease, then let it dry completely. Light scuffing can help when the substrate or existing coating allows it, and masking should be used to protect areas that should not be painted. If possible, test the MyPerfectColor match of Porter Paints 1008 R on the actual surface before doing the full job.

Confirm Porter Paints 1008 R from a physical swatch, an approved color reference, or an existing known sample from the original brand, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor is matching the brand color reference, so verifying the target color before ordering helps reduce the risk of getting the wrong match. If the item already has paint on it, compare against the original color standard whenever possible.

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Porter Paints 1008 R is useful for trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and other parts that are awkward or inefficient to coat with a brush. It is a practical choice when you want a matched color on a small, removable, or detailed item.

For best results, make sure the item is cleaned and prepared properly before spraying, especially on metal, plastic, or previously coated surfaces.

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats are needed. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. If you are ordering another paint format, coverage is usually much higher, but it still depends on the job and the surface.

If the substrate is rough, porous, dark, or uneven, plan for more material than you would need on a smooth, already-prepared surface.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Porter Paints 1008 R 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 1008 R, 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.
