A match of Valspar 340-6 Cannon reads as a deep, cool blue-gray with very low chroma. It has a muted, slate-like character rather than a clear blue tone, and the low LRV means it will read quite dark on finished parts.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, metal shelving, railings, mailboxes, shutters, and hardware when you need a subdued dark finish on small sprayable parts. It also fits PVC trim pieces, fixture accents, and removable components that need to coordinate with an existing color reference.
Because this is a dark color, surface prep and film build matter. Uneven substrates, patchy primer, or gloss differences can make the final color read lighter or bluer in spots, and consistent coats help keep the finish even. Compared with vivid colors, this lower-chroma shade generally hides more easily, but the dark value can still make texture and sheen variation more noticeable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Valspar™ 340-6 Cannon *
What finish should I choose for MyPerfectColor 340-6 Cannon spray paint?
Choose the finish based on how the item will be used, cleaned, and viewed. Lower-gloss finishes usually hide small surface flaws better, while higher-gloss finishes are easier to wipe down but can make the matched color read a little differently.
For 340-6 Cannon, the color match is still based on the selected color reference, but the final appearance on the part will also depend on sheen, texture, and substrate. If you are coating trim pieces, vents, hardware, or other small parts, pick the finish that best fits the practical needs of the item, not just the color name.
How do I confirm the correct Valspar 340-6 Cannon color before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?
Confirm 340-6 Cannon from a physical Valspar swatch, a known original color reference, or another reliable color standard before you order. Screen viewing alone is not a safe way to approve a paint color, because monitors and phone displays can shift the appearance of the color.
MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected 340-6 Cannon reference, not to whatever the color happens to look like on your screen. If the item you are matching is already painted, verify the target color first so you do not order the wrong match.
How long does MyPerfectColor 340-6 Cannon spray paint take to dry, recoat, and fully cure?
For 340-6 Cannon spray paint, dry-to-touch happens in minutes, recoating is typically done in one to two hours, and full cure takes about two weeks. These are different stages, so an item can feel dry before it is ready for normal handling.
If you need to assemble, stack, or install the part soon after painting, plan around the recoat and cure windows. Waiting for full cure helps reduce handling marks and gives the coating time to reach its final durability.
Can I use MyPerfectColor 340-6 Cannon spray paint on plastic parts?
Yes, MyPerfectColor 340-6 Cannon spray paint can be used on many plastic parts, but plastics vary widely and some need extra prep or a primer to get reliable adhesion. Because of that variation, a test on the actual material is important before you coat the full part.
If the plastic is slick, flexible, or hard to identify, use proper surface preparation and consider a primer to improve adhesion. That reduces the risk of peeling or poor bonding after the part is installed or handled.
What kinds of projects work well with MyPerfectColor 340-6 Cannon custom spray paint?
A match of Valspar 340-6 Cannon is a practical choice for small or awkward items that are easier to spray than brush, such as trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and removable parts. MyPerfectColor can supply a match of 340-6 Cannon in custom spray paint for those kinds of applications.
It is especially useful when you need a repeatable color on a part that is separate from the main painted surface. For best results, make sure the item is properly prepared and that the finish you order matches how you want the part to look once installed.
