A match of Benjamin Moore 980 Woodcliff Lake is a muted, medium-deep taupe-brown with a warm cast and a soft gray undertone. Its low chroma keeps it restrained rather than vivid, and the low LRV means it reads noticeably deeper than a mid-tone beige.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this Benjamin Moore color can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailboxes, shelving hardware, picture frames, and PVC trim pieces where a warm earth-neutral is needed on a small sprayable surface. It is also practical for metal, plastic, wood, and previously coated parts after proper prep.

Because the color is fairly dark and subdued, it usually does not behave like a high-chroma color, but finish and substrate still matter. Gloss or semi-gloss can make texture and repair edges more visible, and uneven or porous surfaces may shift how the brown and gray notes read. On darker or patchy substrates, a sound primer and more than one coat may be needed for even color.

For Benjamin Moore references, MyPerfectColor supplies this match in custom spray paint and other specialty formats rather than the original brand's house paint. If the part will sit beside an existing painted surface, lighting, sheen, and surface texture can change the final appearance on the actual object.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Benjamin Moore™ 980 Woodcliff Lake *

How should I spray MyPerfectColor match of 980 Woodcliff Lake for a smoother finish on small parts?

Use light, even coats rather than one heavy pass. Keep a consistent spray distance, overlap each pass slightly, and let each coat set before adding the next one. That helps reduce runs, uneven sheen, and the muddy-looking build that can happen when a coat is applied too wet.

For 980 Woodcliff Lake, the goal is to build the color gradually so the finish stays even on trim pieces, hardware, vents, or other small items where spray application is practical.

How do I estimate how much MyPerfectColor 980 Woodcliff Lake spray paint I need?

Coverage depends on the size of the item, surface texture, how much hiding is needed, the spray method, and how many coats you plan to apply. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but real-world coverage can be lower on rough, porous, or dark surfaces.

If you are coating a part in 980 Woodcliff Lake, plan for extra material when the surface is textured, when the base color is much darker, or when the project needs multiple light coats for a uniform result.

Where can I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor 980 Woodcliff Lake?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and its chemistry, not to the 980 Woodcliff Lake color name alone. If you need the Safety Data Sheet for the MyPerfectColor match of 980 Woodcliff Lake, use the MyPerfectColor SDS page here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

Check the SDS for the exact product format you plan to order before use, storage, or shipping decisions.

Will 980 Woodcliff Lake look the same if I order a different finish from MyPerfectColor?

No. The same 980 Woodcliff Lake color can read differently in matte, satin, or gloss because the finish changes how much light reflects off the surface. That can make the color look deeper, lighter, or more reflective even when the color match itself is the same.

If the finished item will sit next to an existing piece, choose the finish that best fits the surrounding surface and expect the appearance to change when the sheen changes.

Can MyPerfectColor 980 Woodcliff Lake spray paint be used on plastic parts?

Plastics vary a lot, so test the actual item before committing to the whole project. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but some plastic surfaces need better prep or a primer to improve adhesion.

For 980 Woodcliff Lake on plastic, clean the part well, test a small area first, and consider the MyPerfectColor primer if the material is difficult or if the part will be handled often. Primer information is available here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/en/product/995031-Primer-for-Acrylic-Enamel/
