Match of James Hardie™ Blue Note *

Yes, if the repair is on a factory-finished siding surface and you choose a product option that explicitly says Original Material Match. For James Hardie Blue Note 538370, that is the touch-up path because it includes a sheen match. It is the right choice for chips, rub marks, edge damage, scratches, or similar field damage on siding after shipping, installation, or service work.

Not always. Blue Note 538370 is a factory color reference, but an installed siding surface can look different after sun exposure, weathering, chalking, or sheen change. Even when the color reference is correct, the existing surface may read differently beside the repair area. If the job is on older installed material, check whether a site-specific sample or existing-part comparison is safer before ordering.

For direct touch up on James Hardie Blue Note 538370 siding, choose the MyPerfectColor product that explicitly says Original Material Match. That is the only option in this collection that is suitable for touch up because it includes a sheen match. Water-based housepaint and specialty products such as urethane or epoxy can still be color-matched, but they are better suited to separate parts, accessories, or broader repainting where direct touch-up performance is not the goal.

Yes. MyPerfectColor can make a matched paint for James Hardie Blue Note 538370 when you need a separate part or accessory to blend with nearby siding. That can include replacement boards, trim pieces, soffit, fascia, vents, shutters, flashings, or similar items. For a direct touch-up repair on the siding itself, use Original Material Match. For a separate part or accessory, choose the format that fits the surface you are painting.

Color is only one part of the result. With James Hardie Blue Note 538370, the repaired area can read differently if the new coating does not match the original sheen, texture, embossing, or substrate behavior of the siding. The color reference can still be correct, but the surface details may make the repair stand out more than expected. That is why Original Material Match is important for touch up on factory-finished siding.

It depends. MyPerfectColor matches the color of the James Hardie Blue Note 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 Blue Note 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.

Please note that if your existing materials are not new and you are trying to touch up, they will have aged and are likely different now than they were when new. MyPerfectColor will be sending paint matching the sample at our facility which has not aged the same as your materials and may also be different due to other factors such as variations in manufacturing processes. If your match is critical, you may consider sending a part of your materials for precise color matching. Learn more about our color matching services.
