Match of Martha Stewart™ 8403 Daguerreotype *

Yes, but the prep is what determines whether 8403 Daguerreotype lays down well. Clean the metal first to remove dirt, grease, wax, and other contamination, then scuff any sound glossy coating so the new paint has a better surface to grip. Remove loose paint and any rust before spraying.

If the part already has an old coating, keep in mind that gloss, texture, and the condition of that coating can change how 8403 Daguerreotype looks after it dries. A standard match is usually the best fit when you are coating the whole item, while a small repair next to aged paint can show differences more easily.

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used and cleaned. Higher-gloss finishes usually reflect more light and are easier to wipe down, while lower-gloss finishes can reduce visible surface texture. The finish you pick can also change how 8403 Daguerreotype reads on the finished part, even when the color formula is the same.

If appearance and maintenance both matter, decide on the sheen before ordering so the MyPerfectColor match is made in the finish you actually plan to use. That helps avoid surprises on the completed item.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product you order, not to the Martha Stewart 8403 Daguerreotype color name by itself. If you need the safety data for the paint product, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page and make sure you are looking at the same product type you plan to use.

Confirm 8403 Daguerreotype from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference rather than from a screen alone. Display settings, lighting, and camera processing can shift how the color appears online, so an on-screen view is not the most reliable order reference.

MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard for 8403 Daguerreotype, so it is important to verify the target color before you place the order. If you are matching an installed item, compare against the actual sample or approved reference, not just a photo.

Plastics vary a lot, so test 8403 Daguerreotype on the actual material before painting the full part. Clean the surface well, then use the MyPerfectColor primer when you need better adhesion on a difficult or low-energy substrate.

For items such as covers, vents, trim pieces, or other plastic parts, a small test spray helps confirm both adhesion and how the color looks on that specific material. That is the safest way to reduce the chance of adhesion problems on the finished item.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Martha Stewart 8403 Daguerreotype in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Martha Stewart 8403 Daguerreotype, we don't provide any crossover information because this is a subjective determination. Every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, so determining which color is the best approximation is a judgement call.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Related Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the company you want.

Keep in mind that this just shows similar colors based on the color values we have stored in our database. It doesn't mean it is the same or give any approximation about how close the color is. You can play around with the Hue, Lightness and Chroma sliders to expand the selection.
