Match of Pratt and Lambert™ 2248 Tobacco *

For Pratt and Lambert 2248 Tobacco, use several light, even coats instead of one heavy coat. Keep the spray pass consistent, overlap each pass slightly, and avoid stopping in one spot so the color builds evenly. Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy color build. If you are coating a small part, test on a sample piece first so you can confirm the spray pattern and coverage before painting the final item.

Primer may be needed depending on the surface, its condition, and the paint type you are using. Bare, glossy, repaired, porous, or previously problematic surfaces are the most likely to benefit from primer. The practical rule is that primer never hurts and can improve adhesion, but it is not always required. Check the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product you are ordering before you paint.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product formulation, not to the Pratt and Lambert 2248 Tobacco color name alone. If you need the Safety Data Sheet, use the MyPerfectColor SDS page for the product you are ordering: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm. If you are comparing different formats, make sure you review the SDS for the exact product chemistry you plan to use.

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so test the actual part first. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but adhesion can change with the specific plastic type, surface texture, and prior coatings. For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel before spraying the final coat. A quick test on the same plastic is the best way to confirm whether the prep and finish are working as expected.

Confirm Pratt and Lambert 2248 Tobacco 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 key ordering step is making sure the target color is the one you really want. If you are matching an existing painted item, verify the reference under the lighting where it will be used before placing the order.

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.

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 Pratt and Lambert 2248 Tobacco, 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.
