Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application

A match of Valspar 93-23C Quaker Blue reads as a muted blue-gray with a cool cast and a slight green undertone. The low chroma keeps it subdued rather than bright, and the LRV of 31.57 gives it a medium-dark presence on the surface.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color is useful on parts and accessories that need a calm blue-gray finish without brush marks. It can be used on vent covers, speaker grilles, switch plates, brackets, shelving hardware, railings, mailbox parts, shutters, PVC trim pieces, and other removable items where spray application is practical.

Because the color is moderately dark and low in chroma, sheen and substrate texture can shift how it reads. A smooth, well-prepared surface will usually look cleaner, while rough or porous material can make it appear a little grayer and less blue. Even film build helps the match read more consistently.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Valspar™ 93-23C Quaker Blue *

How much MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to 93-23C Quaker Blue by Valspar do I need for my project?

Coverage depends on the size of the item, surface texture, how well the substrate hides the previous color, the application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but real-world coverage can be lower on rough, porous, or dark surfaces. If you are painting a part with edges, curves, or texture, plan for extra material so you do not run short before the finish looks even.

Which finish should I order for 93-23C Quaker Blue by Valspar if I want the matched color to look right on the finished item?

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used, how much cleaning it needs, and how much reflectivity you want. A glossier finish is usually easier to wipe down, while a flatter finish reduces shine but can change how the matched color reads on the surface. The same match of 93-23C Quaker Blue can look different across gloss levels, so pick the sheen that fits the item and try to keep it consistent with nearby coated parts when you are matching a finished assembly.

What should I confirm before ordering MyPerfectColor paint matched to 93-23C Quaker Blue by Valspar?

Before you order, confirm the exact brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format you need, the sheen, and the quantity. MyPerfectColor is making a custom-matched paint based on the 93-23C Quaker Blue color reference; it is not the original Valspar paint. Custom-made color matches should be chosen carefully because they are not returnable or refundable, so it is worth double-checking the details before checkout.

Where do I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor paint matched to 93-23C Quaker Blue by Valspar?

Testing first is especially important on unfamiliar or low-energy plastics because prep and substrate type can change the result.
