A match of Cerakote Piston Coat V-136 reads as a muted warm brown-gray metallic with a slight yellow cast. It sits at a medium depth and low chroma, so the color feels earthy and subdued rather than clean gray or strongly brown. The metallic effect can add subtle movement without pushing the finish into a bright or reflective look.
MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish for touch-up after transportation damage, installation damage, fabrication work, service marks, or missed spots in the original finish. It can also be used on replacement brackets, screw heads, washers, trim plugs, end caps, fastener covers, and other ancillary parts that need to coordinate with a coated assembly. Custom spray paint in this match is also useful for coated panels, railings, housings, and fabricated accessories where drilled holes, cut edges, or handled areas need a controlled repair.
Because this is a metallic finish, gloss, film build, substrate, and spray pattern can affect how the color reads. A liquid touch-up made to this reference may still look different from an aged cured finish, especially when the existing part has weathered, worn, or picked up surface texture. Small repair areas can also make overlap, sheen shift, or edge contrast more visible than a full refinish.
Available as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint and other touch-up formats for coated-finish work, this match is intended for practical color and finish coordination on parts that cannot go back through the original coating process.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Cerakote™ Piston Coat V-136 *
Will MyPerfectColor match Cerakote Piston Coat V-136 exactly on an older cured finish?
MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish of Cerakote Piston Coat V-136, but an older cured part can still read differently beside a fresh touch-up. Age, weathering, gloss, texture, cure, substrate, and batch variation can all change how the finish looks in place.
If the repair must blend into an existing installed part, it is safer to compare against the actual part or an approved sample panel rather than relying on the name alone.
Is Cerakote Piston Coat V-136 a good choice for touch-up after shipping damage, installation damage, or missed spots?
Yes. A match of Cerakote Piston Coat V-136 is commonly used as a touch-up reference for chips, scratches, rub marks, field damage, fabrication damage, drilled holes, cut edges, and missed spots in the original finish.
MyPerfectColor precisely matches the color and finish, which makes it a practical option when you need to repair a coated part after transport, installation, or shop work.
Can Cerakote Piston Coat V-136 be used for plastic snaps, screw heads, or other small hardware?
Yes, Cerakote Piston Coat V-136 can be used for ancillary items such as plastic snaps, screw heads, rivet heads, trim plugs, end caps, clips, covers, brackets, and similar parts when they need to coordinate with a coated assembly.
This is useful when the item cannot go through the original coating process but still needs a close color and finish match. Be sure the part is paintable and prepared correctly for its substrate before ordering.
Does MyPerfectColor for Cerakote Piston Coat V-136 match the cured factory finish or just the color reference?
MyPerfectColor is a match of Cerakote Piston Coat V-136, and it precisely matches the color and finish of that reference. Even so, a fresh liquid touch-up can still look different from the original cured finish on the part.
That difference can come from gloss, texture, film build, age, and the way the original finish cured on its substrate. If the repair will sit next to an existing part, treat the coating reference as the starting point and confirm against the actual finish when possible.
How do gloss, texture, and metallic effect affect Cerakote Piston Coat V-136 matches?
Gloss, texture, film build, and metallic effect can all change how Cerakote Piston Coat V-136 looks after application. A color match can be correct and still read differently if the original surface is smoother, rougher, flatter, or more reflective.
This matters most on visible touch-up work and side-by-side comparisons. If the finish details are important, compare the target part or sample panel before ordering and use the application format that best fits the repair.
