Match of James Hardie™ Aged Slate *

For direct touch up on factory-finished James Hardie Aged Slate, order an Original Material Match product. That is the option designed for touch-up work because it includes a sheen match.

If the damage is on an older installed surface, the repair may still show because age, texture, and exposure can change how the color reads.

James Hardie Aged Slate 538432 is a factory color reference, not a guarantee that an older installed surface will look the same. Sun exposure, chalking, gloss change, texture, and batch variation can make the existing siding read differently beside a fresh match.

If the area is highly visible or the tolerance is tight, compare against the actual installed part or a site sample before you order.

For direct touch up on James Hardie Aged Slate 538432, choose Original Material Match. That is the touch-up choice because it includes a sheen match.

If you are painting a separate part, replacement board, accessory, or other component, other MyPerfectColor formats can be used as color-matched options for that job. Those other formats are better suited to separate parts or broader repainting, not direct touch up on the factory-finished surface.

James Hardie Aged Slate 538432 is a siding-family building-material color reference, so it is used for exterior cladding and related pieces such as trim, soffit, fascia, and nearby accessories when they need to blend with the same branded finish.

If the item is a replacement part or a paintable accessory, a matched product can help it coordinate with the existing material. For direct touch up on the factory-finished surface, stay with Original Material Match.

Yes. On exterior James Hardie Aged Slate 538432 materials, weather, UV, moisture, and chalking can change how the installed color looks over time. That matters when you are touching up a repaired area or matching a nearby accessory.

If the existing surface has aged, a fresh match to the color reference may not blend invisibly, so consider the actual installed part or an approved sample when appearance tolerance is tight.

It depends. MyPerfectColor matches the color of the James Hardie Aged Slate 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 Aged Slate 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.
