A match of Cerakote Titanium V-164 is a medium-light metallic gray with very low saturation and a slight warm, beige-leaning undertone. It reads as a subdued coated finish rather than a bright silver, with a quiet metallic look that can shift slightly with light and sheen.

For coated-part touch-up after transportation damage, installation damage, fabrication work, service marks, or missed spots in the original finish, MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish. This color is practical for spray paint on brackets, enclosures, housings, railings, trim pieces, screw heads, fastener covers, trim plugs, end caps, and other small ancillary items that need to coordinate with a Cerakote-coated assembly or a replacement part.

Because Titanium V-164 is a metallic finish, gloss, texture, film build, and substrate can change how it reads. A matched liquid coating may still look a little different next to an aged or weathered cured finish, especially where the original surface has wear, handling marks, or finish buildup at edges. Small touch-up areas can also show repair boundaries more clearly when the surrounding part has a stronger texture or altered sheen.

For that reason, this color is often a better fit when the goal is close coordination on a separate piece, accessory, or repaired section rather than an invisible repair claim on every existing part. If the finish is being used on a new fabricated component or a paintable detail beside a coated assembly, the match helps keep the appearance consistent without relying on the original coating process.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Cerakote™ Titanium V-164 *

How close will a match of Cerakote Titanium V-164 be on an older cured finish?

MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish of Cerakote Titanium V-164, but a coated part that is already cured, aged, or weathered may not read exactly the same as a fresh touch-up. Gloss, texture, film build, metallic effect, cure, and batch variation can all change how the finish looks beside the existing part.

If you are matching a visible area on an installed or used part, the safest approach is to treat the Cerakote Titanium V-164 reference as the starting point, not a guarantee of an invisible blend.

Can Cerakote Titanium V-164 be used for touch-up after transport damage, installation damage, or missed spots?

Yes. A match of Cerakote Titanium V-164 is commonly used as touch-up paint for chips, scratches, rub marks, handling damage, transport damage, installation damage, fabrication damage, drilled holes, cut edges, and missed spots from the original finish.

For these repairs, MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish so the repair can coordinate with the surrounding coated part as closely as possible.

Can Cerakote Titanium V-164 be used on screw heads, clips, or plastic parts that cannot get the original finish?

Yes. A match of Cerakote Titanium V-164 is often ordered for ancillary items such as screw heads, rivet heads, clips, trim plugs, end caps, covers, brackets, and some plastic parts that cannot go through the same original coating process.

MyPerfectColor paint matched to Cerakote Titanium V-164 lets those separate parts coordinate with the coated assembly even when the original finish process is not an option for the small hardware or accessory.

Will a liquid touch-up for Cerakote Titanium V-164 look identical to the original coated finish?

Not always. MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish of Cerakote Titanium V-164, but a fresh liquid touch-up can still look different from the original cured finish because of gloss, texture, film build, and how the surface interacts with light.

This is especially important when you are matching an older part, an effect finish, or a surface that was originally applied with a different process than the touch-up product.

What surface prep should I use before applying Cerakote Titanium V-164 to metal, plastic, or a previously coated part?

Prep depends on the substrate. For Cerakote Titanium V-164, clean and degrease the surface first, and use light scuffing where appropriate to help adhesion. Metal, plastic, and previously coated parts do not all behave the same, so the right prep and primer choice matter.

If the part is a repair on an existing finish, make sure the damaged area is clean, dry, and stable before applying the touch-up product. Good prep helps the color match perform as expected, but it does not remove the need to account for the existing finish around it.

How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Cerakote Titanium V-164?

How does MyPerfectColor match paint to the Cerakote Titanium V-164 color?

MyPerfectColor has the original Cerakote Titanium V-164 sample in our color archive. We are able to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

MyPerfectColor matches the Cerakote Titanium V-164 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.
