Match of Porter Paints™ 1596 V *

Confirm Porter Paints 1596 V from a physical swatch, an existing painted part, or another known brand reference before you order. Screen viewing can shift the appearance of the color, so it is not a reliable approval method for a custom match.

MyPerfectColor makes a match of 1596 V in its own paint, so the order should be based on the original Porter Paints color reference you want reproduced, not on the look of an aged or weathered surface.

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product chemistry, not the Porter Paints 1596 V color name alone. You can find the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets on the Safety Data Sheets page at myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

If you need SDS details before ordering, check that page for the exact product format you plan to use.

For metal or an existing coating, clean the surface first so dirt, oil, and contamination do not interfere with adhesion. Then scuff sand or degloss the surface, remove rust and loose coating, and make sure the part is dry before spraying a match of Porter Paints 1596 V.

The condition of the old coating matters. Gloss, texture, peeling, and wear can all affect how the finished color reads, even when the color match itself is correct.

Apply the match of Porter Paints 1596 V in light, even coats rather than one heavy pass. Keep your spray motion consistent, overlap each pass, and avoid flooding the surface, since heavy application can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking build.

For small parts, fixtures, or removable items, test your technique on a scrap piece first so you can check coverage and appearance before coating the final part.

Plastics vary widely, so test Porter Paints 1596 V on the actual material before committing to the full project. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but surface prep and the specific plastic type can change the result.

If adhesion is a concern, use the MyPerfectColor primer to improve bonding before applying the color coat. That is especially useful on low-energy or hard-to-stick surfaces.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Porter Paints 1596 V 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 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 1596 V, 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.
