A match of Benjamin Moore 842 Green Cast is a very light green with a soft gray-white cast and low chroma. It reads cool to neutral overall, with enough green to register clearly but not enough saturation to look vivid or bright. The high LRV gives it a pale, subdued appearance.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Benjamin Moore color reference can be useful on small parts that need this restrained green tone. It works well for HVAC vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, outlet covers, shelf brackets, picture frames, cabinet pulls, mailboxes, railings, PVC trim pieces, and other removable hardware where spray application is practical.
Because this is a very light color, the substrate underneath can affect how it finishes. Dark plastic, patched metal, or uneven existing coatings may show through more easily and may need additional coats for even coverage. Sheen, texture, and film build can also shift the balance between green and gray, so the painted result may read a little differently on smooth versus textured surfaces.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Benjamin Moore 842 Green Cast is most useful for smaller or awkward parts that are hard to coat evenly with a brush, such as trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, and accessories. It is also practical when you want a removable or separate part to coordinate with an existing painted area that uses this color reference.
For best results, spray the full item or component rather than only a small visible patch, since partial coating can make sheen and texture differences more obvious.
No. The same match of Benjamin Moore 842 Green Cast can look different in matte, satin, and gloss because the finish changes how light reflects off the surface. A glossier finish usually makes the color read deeper and more reflective, while a flatter finish reduces reflection and can make the same color appear softer.
If you are trying to coordinate with an existing item, try to match the sheen as closely as possible. Even when the color formula is the same, the finish can change how the finished part reads in real use.
Clean the surface first so dirt, oils, wax, and loose contamination do not interfere with adhesion. If the metal has rust, remove or treat it before coating. If you are spraying over an existing finish, scuff any sound glossy areas so the new coating can grip, and do not spray over peeling or failing paint without fixing the base layer first.
The condition of the old coating, along with its gloss and texture, can affect how Benjamin Moore 842 Green Cast looks after application. Good prep helps the color read more evenly on the finished part.

MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets can be found here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm
A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but actual coverage for Benjamin Moore 842 Green Cast depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, spray method, and the number of coats required. Rough, porous, or dark substrates often need more material than a smooth, light surface.
Measure the part you plan to paint and allow extra for second coats, test spraying, and any overspray. If the item has edges, cutouts, or complex geometry, it is safer to plan on less coverage than the can rating suggests.
