Match of Porter Paints™ 1145 R *

Confirm the Porter Paints 1145 R reference, the MyPerfectColor product format you need, the sheen, and the quantity before you place the order. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match of 1145 R, so the order should be treated as a made-to-order color match rather than the original Porter Paints product.

Because custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, it is important to verify the color reference and product details first. That helps reduce the risk of ordering the wrong format or sheen for your project.

Primer needs depend on the substrate, its condition, and the paint type you choose for a match of Porter Paints 1145 R. Check the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product you are ordering, since some surfaces need more prep than others.

A primer never hurts and can improve adhesion, but it is not always required. If the surface is bare, damaged, glossy, or difficult to coat, primer is often the safer choice.

After you apply a match of Porter Paints 1145 R, the finished look can still change based on where it is placed, the lighting around it, the sheen, and the nearby surfaces. That means the same matched color can read a little differently on a wall, trim piece, fixture, or removable part.

If the item will sit next to an existing painted surface, expect some visual difference from aging, texture, or gloss even when the color match is correct. It is best to judge the result on the actual object and in the lighting where it will be used.

Yes, but plastics vary widely, so the best approach is to test on the actual material first. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but different plastics can still need different prep or primer for a match of Porter Paints 1145 R.

Using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult plastic surfaces. If the part is removable or important, a test application is the safest way to confirm adhesion and appearance before coating the full item.

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats are needed for a match of Porter Paints 1145 R. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet.

If you are coating a rough, porous, dark, or highly visible surface, plan for more material than the minimum estimate. Ordering enough for the full job and any needed second coat helps avoid a shortage partway through the project.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Porter Paints 1145 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.

MyPerfectColor offers custom spray paint matched to Porter Paints 1145 R which enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish. It is difficult to gauge spray paint coverage because it depends on how you apply it and the amount of overspray, but generally the 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat.

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 Porter Paints 1145 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.
