Match of Valspar™ 301B-4 Smoky Mauve *

Coverage depends on the size of the item, the surface texture, how well the color hides, the 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 400 to 600 square feet. For small parts like vents, brackets, hardware, or PVC pipe, measure the actual surface you plan to coat and plan for extra paint if the substrate is rough, porous, or uneven.

Choose sheen based on the object and how it will be used, not on the color code alone. Lower sheen finishes usually hide surface texture better, while higher sheen finishes are easier to clean and can make the matched color read differently on the finished part. If you are coating items like switch covers, grilles, fixtures, or trim pieces, pick the sheen that fits the wear and cleanup needs of that item and confirm the finish before ordering.

Primer depends on the substrate, the condition of the surface, and the paint type you are using. A primer never hurts and can improve adhesion, but it is not always required. It is especially useful on bare metal, plastic, wood, slick surfaces, damaged areas, or when you are covering a dark or uneven existing finish. Check the prep guidance for the exact MyPerfectColor product you plan to order.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product or chemistry, not the color name alone. To get the correct safety information, look up the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor paint format you plan to order, such as spray paint or another matching product type. MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets are available on the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page.

Custom-made color matches should be confirmed carefully before checkout because they are not returnable or refundable. Make sure you have the correct brand color reference, the right MyPerfectColor product type, the desired sheen, and the quantity you need. This matters most when you are ordering for a specific part such as a fixture, cover, pipe, or removable component that needs the right finish the first time.

While we can provide Valspar 301B-4 Smoky Mauve 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.
