Match of Alcoa™ Glacier Blue *

For direct touch up on Alcoa Glacier Blue trim coil after shipping damage, installation damage, field cutting, or service work, choose an Original Material Match product. In this collection, that is the option intended for touch up because it includes a sheen match. MyPerfectColor can make paint matched to the Alcoa Glacier Blue color reference for the repaired area.

If the repair is on the original factory-finished part, avoid product types that do not include a sheen match.

A match of Alcoa Glacier Blue is the brand color reference, but an older installed surface can change from sun exposure, weathering, chalking, abrasion, sheen change, and lot variation. That means the right color reference can still look different beside the existing finish.

If you are matching against an aged installed surface, compare against the actual part you are repairing, not only the original Alcoa Glacier Blue reference.

For Alcoa Glacier Blue, choose the product type based on the job. Use Original Material Match for direct touch up on factory-finished building materials because it includes a sheen match. Water-based housepaint, urethane, and epoxy can still be color-matched to Alcoa Glacier Blue, but they are better for separate parts, accessories, or broader repainting where direct touch up is not the goal.

If you are repairing the original finished surface, Original Material Match is the right starting point.

Alcoa Glacier Blue in the trim coil category is commonly used when a metal roofing, gutter, trim, flashing, or related accessory needs to blend with nearby factory-finished material. That can include replacement trim pieces, cut edges, cover pieces, and adjacent accessories that are being painted to coordinate with the existing Alcoa Glacier Blue finish.

If the part is the original factory-finished surface and the goal is touch up, order Original Material Match. If it is a separate part or accessory, a color-matched MyPerfectColor product in the right format may be appropriate.

Even when the color match for Alcoa Glacier Blue is correct, the repair can read differently if the painted surface has a different gloss, texture, embossing, or substrate than the original metal finish. That is why touch up in this collection should be ordered as Original Material Match when the job is on the factory-finished part itself.

For the closest practical result, match the product type to the surface you are repairing and expect some visual difference on weathered or textured material.

It depends. MyPerfectColor matches the color of the Alcoa Glacier Blue but may not match the sheen. If you see Custom Sheen as a sheen option, this means we also match the sheen of the material, otherwise you would need to pick the closest sheen available. However, keep in mind that our version of the Alcoa Glacier Blue is based on matching an official Alcoa color sample. The color and sheen of your specific Alcoa parts may vary. If your material is not new and has been exposed to the weather, then it is likely that the color has changed over time. MyPerfectColor samples not been exposed to sunlight and weather. If you need a touch up application, you may need to send us a part so we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

MyPerfectColor has the original Alcoa color samples. A sample of the Alcoa Glacier Blue you are looking for is in our library. We are able to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

Please note that if your existing materials are not new and you are trying to touch up, they will have aged and are likely different now than they were when new. MyPerfectColor will be sending paint matching the sample at our facility which has not aged the same as your materials and may also be different due to other factors such as variations in manufacturing processes. If your match is critical, you may consider sending a part of your materials for precise color matching. Learn more about our color matching services.
