A match of Cerakote Flat Dark Earth F-106 reads as a muted medium brown with a warm, slightly yellowed undertone and low chroma. The flat sheen keeps it from looking glossy or sharp, so the color settles into an earthy brown rather than a cleaner tan.
MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish for touch-up after transportation damage, installation damage, fabrication work, service wear, or missed spots in the original finish. It can also be used on ancillary items and replacement parts such as screw heads, brackets, trim plugs, end caps, clips, vent covers, rail components, machine housings, and other small coated details that need to coordinate with the surrounding assembly.
Because this reference is low-chroma and flat, it can be more forgiving over minor substrate variation than a brighter color, but the final appearance still depends on prep, film build, and sheen. A liquid touch-up beside an older cured finish may read a little differently if the existing part has worn, faded, or changed texture, so close color-and-finish matching matters.
When you are matching a coated part, sample panel, or fabricated replacement, the color reference is the starting point, not a guarantee that every installed surface will look identical after repair. MyPerfectColor matches the Cerakote Flat Dark Earth F-106 reference in color and finish, while gloss loss, surface texture, and age can still affect how an existing part reads next to the repaired area.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Cerakote™ Flat Dark Earth F-106 *
Will a match of Cerakote Flat Dark Earth F-106 from MyPerfectColor look the same next to an older cured part?
Not always. MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish, but an older cured part can still read differently because of gloss, texture, age, weathering, cure, substrate, and batch variation.
If the repair will sit beside an existing finished part, use the color reference as the starting point, but expect that a fresh touch-up may not blend invisibly into an aged coating.
Is Cerakote Flat Dark Earth F-106 a good match for touch-up after chips, scratches, or missed spots?
Yes. This color reference is commonly used for touch-up after transportation damage, installation damage, fabrication damage, field modification damage, or missed spots in the original finish.
MyPerfectColor can provide a paint match for the color and finish so you can repair the affected area or cover a small omitted spot without repainting the entire part. If the surrounding finish is already aged or weathered, expect some visual difference from the cured original coating.
Can Cerakote Flat Dark Earth F-106 be used on screw heads, clips, trim plugs, or other small parts that cannot go through the original finish process?
Yes. A match of Cerakote Flat Dark Earth F-106 is often used for ancillary items such as screw heads, rivet heads, clips, covers, trim plugs, end caps, and other small parts that need to coordinate with a coated assembly.
MyPerfectColor offers matched paint for these kinds of parts in formats such as touch-up paint, custom spray paint, and paint pens. The goal is close color and finish coordination on parts that were not originally finished in the same coating process.
If I order a liquid match of Cerakote Flat Dark Earth F-106, will it look exactly like the original cured finish?
Not necessarily. MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish, but a fresh liquid touch-up can still look different from the original cured finish because of gloss, texture, film build, substrate, and how the original coating aged or cured.
That is why a correct color reference does not guarantee an identical side-by-side appearance on an existing part. If the finish is visible and the tolerance is tight, compare against the actual part or an approved sample before ordering.
How can I reorder Cerakote Flat Dark Earth F-106 to keep multiple parts as consistent as possible?
Reorder using the exact brand color and finish reference, and keep the product type and format consistent when possible. For Cerakote Flat Dark Earth F-106, that helps reduce variation across related parts or repeat touch-up work.
Even then, final appearance can still change with substrate, surface prep, surrounding part age, and the difference between a fresh liquid touch-up and the original cured finish. For the best result, base the reorder on the same reference used for the first approved part.
How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Cerakote Flat Dark Earth F-106?
