Match of Gentek™ Storm (Vinyl) *

Yes, if you are doing direct touch up on a factory-finished siding surface, choose an Original Material Match option for Gentek Storm (Vinyl). That product type is the right fit for scratches, rub marks, small chips, field cuts, and service work because it includes a sheen match.

If the area is on older installed siding, the repair can still read differently because age and exposure affect the surface. The color reference is the starting point, but it does not guarantee an invisible repair.

A match of Gentek Storm (Vinyl) is a factory color reference, but an installed panel can change over time. Sun exposure, weathering, chalking, sheen shift, texture wear, and lot variation can all make the existing surface look different from the original reference.

If you are matching beside an aged or weathered area, expect some risk even when the color choice is correct. When the visual tolerance is tight, a sample or the existing part is often safer than relying on the original reference alone.

For direct touch up on Gentek Storm (Vinyl), use an Original Material Match product because it includes a sheen match. That is the correct choice for factory-finished siding repair where you want the new paint to behave like a touch-up product.

Water-based housepaint, urethane, and epoxy can still be color-matched to Gentek Storm (Vinyl), but they do not include a sheen match and should not be treated as direct touch-up products. They are better suited to separate parts, accessories, or broader repainting jobs.

Not necessarily. Even when the color is matched to Gentek Storm (Vinyl), the painted area can read differently if the texture, gloss, embossing, or substrate does not match the original siding surface.

It depends. MyPerfectColor matches the color of the Gentek Storm (Vinyl) but may not match the sheen. If you see Custom Sheen as a sheen option, this means we also match the sheen of the material, otherwise you would need to pick the closest sheen available. However, keep in mind that our version of the Gentek Storm (Vinyl) is based on matching an official Gentek color sample. The color and sheen of your specific Gentek parts may vary. If your material is not new and has been exposed to the weather, then it is likely that the color has changed over time. MyPerfectColor samples not been exposed to sunlight and weather. If you need a touch up application, you may need to send us a part so we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.
