A match of Ace 184-A Cannonball is a very dark blue-gray with extremely low chroma and a cool, subdued cast. At this depth it can read close to black in many conditions, but the slight blue-gray bias keeps it from looking flat or brown.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color is useful for small parts and fixtures where a dark coordinated finish matters. It can be used on metal railings, gate hardware, mailbox parts, vent covers, speaker grilles, switch plates, brackets, shelving supports, trim pieces, and other spray-friendly items that need a consistent dark tone across different materials.

Because this is a near-black color, surface prep and finish choice can affect the final read. Gloss, satin, and matte versions will change how much the blue-gray undertone shows, and surface texture or patchy substrates can be more noticeable in a dark color. Coverage is usually straightforward, but edges, scratches, and uneven repairs may still show through if the surface is not well prepared.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Ace™ 184-A Cannonball *

For Ace 184-A Cannonball, which finish should I choose if I want a MyPerfectColor match for trim, hardware, or other parts?

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used, not on the color name alone. With a match of Ace 184-A Cannonball, a lower sheen usually gives less reflectivity and can hide texture better, while a higher sheen is typically easier to wipe clean and may feel more durable on frequently handled items.

Because 184-A Cannonball is a very dark color, the sheen you pick can change how it reads on the finished item. A glossier finish will reflect more light, and a flatter finish will look softer. For spray-painted parts, pick the sheen that fits the surface and cleaning needs of the item you are coating.

Where do I find the SDS for Ace 184-A Cannonball if I am ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product and its chemistry, not to the Ace color name by itself. MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets can be found on the Safety Data Sheets page at https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

Check the SDS for the exact format you plan to order, such as spray paint or another MyPerfectColor product, because the safety information follows the product chemistry, not just the reference color 184-A Cannonball.

How much MyPerfectColor paint matched to Ace 184-A Cannonball should I order for my project?

Coverage depends on the size of the surface, how textured or porous it is, the application method, the hiding power needed, and how many coats you plan to apply. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet.

For Ace 184-A Cannonball, plan around the actual area you will coat and allow extra if the substrate is rough, uneven, or a different color underneath. That helps avoid running short before the project is fully covered.

Will Ace 184-A Cannonball look the same on my part after I apply the MyPerfectColor match?

Not always. Once the MyPerfectColor match of Ace 184-A Cannonball is applied, lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces can change how the color reads on the finished item.

This matters most when the part will sit beside existing paint or be viewed in changing light. The same matched color can look a little different indoors versus outdoors, or on a smooth part versus a textured one.

How do I confirm the right Ace 184-A Cannonball color before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm the target color from a physical Ace swatch or another known existing color reference before you order. MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard, so the order should be based on the verified 184-A Cannonball reference, not on screen color alone.

If you already have the painted item, compare it to a known reference first so you are ordering the intended Ace color. That is the safest way to reduce the risk of getting the wrong match.
