A match of Valspar 337-4 Tattletale is a muted, medium-dark blue-gray with a cool undertone and very low chroma. It reads as a restrained gray first, with just enough blue and green in the mix to keep it from looking flat or warm.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 337-4 Tattletale can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailbox parts, PVC trim pieces, and hardware where a subdued cool gray is needed on small or removable parts. It can also work on frames, shelving supports, and fixture housings when you want a consistent color across metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated components.

Because the color is low-chroma, it generally lays down as a controlled gray rather than an intense accent color, but the medium-dark depth still makes surface prep important. Finish, substrate texture, and film build can change how the cool undertone reads, and glossy coatings can make scratches, seams, or waviness more noticeable. Clean adhesion and even coverage help the color look steady across different parts.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Valspar™ 337-4 Tattletale *

Will Valspar 337-4 Tattletale look the same in matte and gloss MyPerfectColor paint?

No. MyPerfectColor can make a match of Valspar 337-4 Tattletale, but the finish you choose changes how that color reads on the finished item. Matte, satin, and gloss all reflect light differently, so the same matched color can look flatter or deeper depending on sheen.

If you are trying to coordinate with an existing part, try to match the sheen as well as the color reference.

What should I confirm before ordering MyPerfectColor custom paint matched to Valspar 337-4 Tattletale?

Before ordering a custom match of Valspar 337-4 Tattletale, confirm the exact color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format you need, the sheen, and the quantity. That helps avoid ordering a match in the wrong finish or the wrong product type for your project.

Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to check those details before you place the order.

Can I use MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Valspar 337-4 Tattletale on plastic parts?

Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Valspar 337-4 Tattletale can be used on many plastic items, but plastics vary a lot. The same paint that works well on one plastic may need different prep or a different primer on another.

For the safest result, test on the actual plastic first and prepare the surface carefully. Using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can help improve adhesion on difficult surfaces.

How long does MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Valspar 337-4 Tattletale take to dry and cure?

Which sheen should I choose for Valspar 337-4 Tattletale in MyPerfectColor paint?

Choose the sheen for Valspar 337-4 Tattletale based on how the part will be used and how closely you need it to coordinate with an existing surface. Higher gloss usually gives more reflectivity and can change how the color reads, while lower sheen finishes reduce reflection.

If you are matching an already painted item, the best choice is usually the sheen that most closely matches the existing surface. If you are coating a new part, pick the finish that fits the practical needs of the item, such as cleanup and wear.
