Match of Gentek™ Hudson Slate (Vinyl) *

For direct touch up on factory-finished siding, choose a MyPerfectColor product that explicitly says Original Material Match. That option is the right fit because it includes a sheen match, which matters on finished building materials. Other formats may still be color matched to Gentek Hudson Slate (Vinyl) 536244, but they should not be treated as direct touch-up products for a factory-finished surface.

It may match the color reference well, but an older installed surface can still read differently. Sun exposure, weathering, chalking, sheen change, texture, embossing, and batch variation can make the existing siding look different from the original Gentek Hudson Slate (Vinyl) 536244 reference. If the area is aged or highly visible, expect some difference even when the color match is correct.

For direct touch up, order the version that explicitly says Original Material Match. That is the only format in this collection that should be described as suitable for touch up because it includes a sheen match. Water-based housepaint, urethane, and epoxy can still be color-matched to Gentek Hudson Slate (Vinyl) 536244, but they are better for separate parts, broader repainting, or other jobs where direct touch-up suitability is not the goal.

It depends. MyPerfectColor matches the color of the Gentek Hudson Slate (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 Hudson Slate (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.
