The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint you order, not to the Pratt and Lambert color name by itself.

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet.

If the item is textured, porous, irregular, or likely to need more than one coat, plan for extra paint so you do not run short before the job is complete.

Before painting, clean the surface, remove grease or other contamination, and lightly scuff it where appropriate so the coating has a better chance to bond. Mask off any areas that should not be painted.

It is also wise to test the MyPerfectColor match of 1222 Old World by Pratt and Lambert on the actual surface first, especially if you are coating plastic, metal, or a previously painted item.

Yes. Finish changes how much light reflects off the coating, and that can change how 1222 Old World by Pratt and Lambert reads on the finished item. The color code does not define sheen by itself.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Pratt and Lambert 1222 Old World, 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.
