Match of Valspar™ 230-1 Flicker *

Yes. MyPerfectColor can make a custom-matched paint based on 230-1 Flicker by Valspar for spray-paint projects, including trim pieces, vents, hardware, fixtures, and other removable parts. The key decision is the product format you need, since the color reference does not by itself define sheen or substrate prep.

Before ordering, confirm that you want a MyPerfectColor match of 230-1 Flicker, not the original Valspar paint product. If the part needs a specific finish or must match nearby coated items, choose the sheen and quantity that fit the project before you place the order.

Primer needs depend on the surface, its condition, and the paint type you are using. For 230-1 Flicker by Valspar, primer is often worth considering on bare, repaired, glossy, or hard-to-stick surfaces because it can improve adhesion and help the color build more evenly.

If the surface is already sound and the selected product's prep guidance says primer is optional, you may not need it. As a rule of thumb, primer never hurts and can only improve adhesion, but it is not always required.

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used and how much reflectivity you want, not just on the color name. Higher gloss levels reflect more light and can make 230-1 Flicker by Valspar read differently on the finished item, while lower gloss levels reduce reflection and can make the coating look less shiny.

Sheen also affects cleanup and how the color appears on different substrates and textures. If you are matching a nearby coated part, keep in mind that the same 230-1 Flicker reference can look different in flat, satin, or gloss finishes.

Plastics vary widely, so the right prep matters. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but the actual material still needs to be cleaned and, in many cases, lightly scuffed or primed before coating 230-1 Flicker by Valspar.

For plastics and other low-energy surfaces, testing on the actual part is important because adhesion can change by plastic type. Using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion, especially when the surface is unfamiliar or hard to bond to.

Apply 230-1 Flicker by Valspar in light, even coats rather than one heavy coat. Keep the can moving, use the recommended spray distance, and overlap passes slightly so the film builds evenly across the part.

Let each coat dry or flash according to the selected product's instructions before adding the next coat. Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking color build, especially on small parts or edges.

Confirm the exact color reference, brand name, product format, sheen, and quantity before you order 230-1 Flicker by Valspar. MyPerfectColor is making a custom match to that reference, so the order details matter if you want the right product for your project.

Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to verify the reference and the finish before checkout. This matters most when you are coordinating a removable part, fixture, or accessory that needs to fit into an existing painted environment.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use.

While we can provide Valspar 230-1 Flicker in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another brand.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the brand 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.
