A match of Valspar 248-5 Remembrance reads as a medium-dark blue with a cool lean and a slight green cast, so it sits closer to a muted teal-blue than to a clear primary blue. The lower LRV gives it noticeable depth, while the moderate chroma keeps the color defined without pushing it into a very bright or neon range.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color is useful on small, sprayable parts where that deeper blue needs to be carried consistently across different materials. It can work on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, railings, brackets, mailbox components, shelving, PVC trim pieces, and hardware, as well as fixture covers and furniture accents that need a repeatable finish after proper preparation.
Because this is a darker, moderately saturated color, surface condition and film build can affect the final read. Uneven substrates, sanding marks, and patchy existing coatings may show more clearly than they would in a lighter color, and additional coats can be needed for even coverage over a contrasting base. Sheen level can also change how deep the blue appears, so consistent application helps keep the result uniform.

Coverage depends on the size of the item or surface, the texture, the hiding power of the color over the existing surface, the application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paints typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet, depending on the product format.
If you are coating a part with edges, recesses, or a rough surface, plan on using more material than a smooth, flat surface of the same size. If the base color is dark or uneven, you may also need extra coats to get an even result in 248-5 Remembrance.
Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Valspar 248-5 Remembrance can work on many plastics, but plastic types vary a lot, so test on the actual part before painting the full item. Surface preparation matters, and some plastics may need a primer to improve adhesion.
For the best decision, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel when the plastic is difficult or when you want extra adhesion help. That is especially useful for removable parts, fixtures, and other items where a reliable bond matters more than speed.
Choose the finish based on how the item will be used, how much wear it will see, and how much reflectivity you want. Higher-gloss finishes usually clean more easily and can feel more durable, while lower-sheen finishes reduce shine. The sheen also changes how 248-5 Remembrance reads on the finished item.
If you are coating a practical part such as hardware, a vent, a cover, or another handled surface, think about cleanup and durability first, then appearance. The same color match can look different once the sheen changes, even though the color formula is still matched to the selected reference.
No. Once a match of Valspar 248-5 Remembrance is applied, lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces can still change how it looks on the finished item. That is normal for any painted part, especially when the piece will sit near another existing surface.
If the item will be seen under daylight, indoor lighting, or mixed lighting, evaluate the result in the conditions where it will actually be used. Small differences can be more noticeable on parts that sit directly beside an older painted surface.
MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Valspar 248-5 Remembrance is typically dry to the touch within minutes. It should be recoated in about 1 to 2 hours, and it is fully cured in about two weeks.
Do not treat dry-to-touch as fully cured. If the part needs handling, assembly, or final installation, allow enough time for the coating to harden before putting the item into service.
