Match of Cerakote™ Black Shadow F-104 *

MyPerfectColor can match Cerakote Black Shadow F-104 by color and finish, but an older or already cured part may still read differently next to fresh touch-up paint. Gloss, texture, film build, cure differences, substrate, age, weathering, and batch variation can all affect the final appearance.

If you are repairing a visible area on an existing coated part, use the Cerakote Black Shadow F-104 reference as the starting point, but expect the cured finish on the part to be the final visual standard.

Yes. A match of Cerakote Black Shadow F-104 is commonly used as a touch-up reference when a coated part has chips, scratches, rub marks, drilled areas, cut edges, handling damage, shipping damage, installation damage, fabrication damage, or missed coverage from the original finish process.

MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish so you can repair the damaged area with a product made to coordinate with the original Cerakote Black Shadow F-104 reference. For the closest visual result, match the part surface condition and prep as closely as practical before applying the touch-up product.

Yes. A match of Cerakote Black Shadow F-104 is often ordered for ancillary items that need to coordinate with a coated assembly, such as screw heads, rivet heads, trim plugs, end caps, clips, covers, fastener hardware, and small brackets.

These parts usually cannot go through the same original coating process as the main part, so a MyPerfectColor match lets you paint the item separately while keeping the color reference consistent with the surrounding finish.

Even when the Cerakote Black Shadow F-104 color reference is correct, a fresh liquid paint match can still read differently beside the original cured finish. The difference usually comes from gloss, texture, film build, surface prep, cure, aging, and how the light hits the part.

MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish, but it does not change the behavior of the original coated surface. If you need the closest side-by-side decision, compare against an existing cured part or approved sample whenever possible.

For repeat work, order by the exact Cerakote Black Shadow F-104 color reference, the desired product format, and the finish you need. That gives you the best chance of keeping related parts and future touch-up work aligned.

For critical jobs, keep an approved sample, a retained part, or a clear internal reference from the first order. Even with the correct match, final appearance can still vary with substrate, prep, part age, and whether you are comparing fresh paint to an existing cured finish.

MyPerfectColor matches the Cerakote Black Shadow F-104 by scanning the sample with state of the art spectrophotometer and color matching software. The color match is refined through an iterative process to improve the match accuracy of both the color and sheen. MyPerfectColor has an extensive pigment library of over 100 different pigments that include organic and inorganic dispersions, aluminum, bronze and mica-based metallics and pearlescents, and fluorescent pigments. MyPerfectColor can achieve any sheen between flat and gloss. Note that difficult to match colors like metallics, pearlescents, and fluorescents will not match precisely - MyPerfectColor will get as close as possible, but the quality of these matches will not be as good due to the inherent limitations of matching these types of effect colors.
