Match of James Hardie™ Mudflats *

Yes, if you choose an Original Material Match product for James Hardie Mudflats. In this collection, Original Material Match is the option intended for direct touch up because it includes a sheen match.

If the damage is on factory-finished siding, trim, or another installed component, match the product type to the repair. For direct touch up, do not use water-based housepaint, urethane, or epoxy as the touch-up choice, because those options do not include a sheen match.

Not necessarily. A match of James Hardie Mudflats is a factory color reference, but an older installed siding surface can look different because of sun exposure, weathering, chalking, sheen change, texture, and batch variation.

If you are touching up next to aged material, expect the original reference and the existing surface to read differently even when the color match is correct. For the closest practical result, compare the matched product against the actual installed area, not just the brand color name.

For direct touch up on factory-finished James Hardie Mudflats siding, order an Original Material Match product whenever it is available. That is the format designed for touch up because it includes a sheen match.

If the job is for a replacement part, an accessory, or a broader repaint of a separate piece, other MyPerfectColor formats may be appropriate, including spray paint, paint pens, brush-in-cap bottles, interior/exterior housepaint, urethane, or epoxy depending on the application. Those options are color-matched, but they are not the right direct touch-up choice for factory-finished siding.

Yes. A match of James Hardie Mudflats is a siding color reference, so a MyPerfectColor match can be used to coordinate paintable replacement parts, trim pieces, soffit, fascia, shutters, flashings, gutters, or other nearby exterior accessories that need to blend with the siding color.

For a direct touch-up repair on the original factory-finished surface, use an Original Material Match product. For a separate part or accessory, choose the format based on the item being painted and the level of sheen match needed.

Reorder by the exact color reference, James Hardie Mudflats, and keep the product type and finish consistent across all parts of the job. That helps reduce variation when you are repairing multiple siding sections or painting related pieces.

Even with the same color reference, final appearance can still shift with substrate, prep, application method, and the age of the surrounding installed material. If the project includes both new parts and older siding, test the match against the actual surface before committing to the full repair.

It depends. MyPerfectColor matches the color of the James Hardie Mudflats 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 James Hardie Mudflats is based on matching an official James Hardie color sample. The color and sheen of your specific James Hardie 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.
