Match of Martha Stewart™ 8308 Tidal Pool *

Before you apply a match of 8308 Tidal Pool, clean the surface well, remove grease or residue, and scuff it lightly if the material can be abraded. Mask off areas you do not want painted, and test the color and adhesion on the actual surface before coating the full item.

This is especially important when you are painting fixtures, hardware, trim pieces, or other small parts where surface condition can change how the final match of 8308 Tidal Pool looks and performs.

Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to 8308 Tidal Pool can be used on many plastic parts, but plastics vary a lot. The safest approach is to test on the actual plastic first because some surfaces accept coating better than others.

For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer before applying the match of 8308 Tidal Pool. That is especially useful on low-energy plastics, smooth fixtures, and other difficult substrates where adhesion risk is higher.

Confirm 8308 Tidal Pool from a physical swatch or another known original-brand color reference, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor matches the original Martha Stewart color reference, so the target color should be verified before you place the order.

If you are trying to coordinate with an existing painted surface, check the actual sample in the lighting where the item will be used, since screen color and aged paint can both mislead the order decision.

For a match of 8308 Tidal Pool, apply several light, even coats instead of one heavy coat. Keep the can moving, overlap passes slightly, and hold a consistent spray distance so the color builds evenly.

Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking build. If you are coating a small part, let each coat flash off before the next one so the final result is smoother and easier to judge.

Before ordering a custom-made match of 8308 Tidal Pool, confirm the color reference, product format, sheen, and quantity. MyPerfectColor makes its own paint to match the selected Martha Stewart color reference, so the order should be checked carefully before checkout.

Custom color orders are made specifically for your selection and are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to verify that 8308 Tidal Pool is the exact reference you want and that you are choosing the right format for the project.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Martha Stewart 8308 Tidal Pool 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 8308 Tidal Pool, 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.
