Match of Martha Stewart™ 8246 Feldspar *

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, how much hiding power the substrate needs, application method, and how many coats you plan to apply. If you are ordering 8246 Feldspar in spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet, depending on the product and surface.

For best planning, estimate the total area first, then add extra if the surface is rough, porous, dark, or likely to need more than one coat. If you need a repeatable color on several parts, order enough at the same time so all items can be completed from the same batch or matched product format.

Before applying 8246 Feldspar, clean the surface, remove dust and grease, and let it dry fully. Light scuffing is helpful on many smooth surfaces when appropriate, especially if the goal is better adhesion for spray paint or another MyPerfectColor finish.

Mask nearby areas you do not want coated, and test 8246 Feldspar on the actual surface before coating a larger area. That test is especially important on plastics, slick metals, or previously coated items because surface condition can affect adhesion, appearance, and how the color reads after drying.

Use light, even coats of 8246 Feldspar rather than heavy passes. Keep the can moving, overlap each pass slightly, and hold a consistent distance from the surface so the color builds evenly.

Heavy spraying can lead to runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking color build. If the part is detailed, curved, or small, several light coats usually give better control than trying to cover it all at once. Let each coat flash or dry as directed for the product before adding the next coat.

MyPerfectColor spray paint can adhere well to most plastics, but plastic types vary a lot, so testing on the actual material is important before you commit to the whole part. If you want to improve adhesion on a difficult plastic surface, use the MyPerfectColor primer first.

For 8246 Feldspar, primer is especially worth considering on slick, flexible, or low-energy plastics, or anywhere the coating will see handling. A small test panel or hidden spot will tell you whether the surface needs extra prep before you paint the final item.

Confirm 8246 Feldspar from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard, so the order should start from the color target you actually want to reproduce.

If you are matching an existing painted item, remember that age, sheen, and substrate can change how the surface looks in real life. The safest approach is to verify the target reference first, then order MyPerfectColor paint matched to 8246 Feldspar in the format that fits your project.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Martha Stewart 8246 Feldspar 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 8246 Feldspar, 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.
