Match of Pratt and Lambert™ 1205 Swedish Blue *

Before applying a match of 1205 Swedish Blue, clean the metal or old coating so it is free of dirt, oil, rust, and other contamination. If the existing finish is glossy and still sound, scuff it first so the new coating can bond better.

If the old coating is peeling, chalky, or damaged, address that first, because the condition, gloss, and texture of the existing surface can change how the finished color looks.

MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to 1205 Swedish Blue is typically dry to touch within minutes, can usually be recoated in one to two hours, and is fully cured in about two weeks.

Dry to touch, recoating, and full handling are different stages, so do not assume the coating is ready for normal use just because the surface feels dry.

Yes. The same match of 1205 Swedish Blue can read differently in matte versus gloss because the finish changes how light reflects and how deep the color appears.

The color code does not define sheen, so the finish you order is a separate decision from the color match itself.

Confirm 1205 Swedish Blue from a physical swatch or another known original Pratt and Lambert color reference, not from a screen alone. Screens can shift color enough to create an ordering mistake.

MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard, so verify that your target reference is correct before placing the order.

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so the safest approach is to check the actual part first. MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to 1205 Swedish Blue sticks well to most plastics, but adhesion can still vary by material type and surface condition.

Using MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult surfaces.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Pratt and Lambert 1205 Swedish Blue, 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.
