A match of ICI 299 Angel Hair reads as a very light, soft warm off-white with a low-chroma cream-beige cast. It is close to white, but the warmth keeps it from looking stark or blue-leaning.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this selected brand color is useful on small parts and hardware where a light, quiet finish is needed. It can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, frames, shelving brackets, cabinet pulls, PVC trim pieces, rail fittings, and similar items that are easier to coat evenly with spray application than with a brush.
Because this is such a light color, coverage can be affected by the substrate underneath. Darker or uneven surfaces may show through sooner, so primer choice, surface preparation, and film build can matter. The final look can also shift slightly with sheen, texture, and the material being coated, which is common with very pale colors.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ 299 Angel Hair *
Can I order ICI 299 Angel Hair as custom spray paint for switch covers, vents, grilles, or small hardware?
Yes. MyPerfectColor can make a match of ICI 299 Angel Hair in custom spray paint for small parts and fixtures such as switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, knobs, and similar items.
Spray paint is a practical choice when you want an even finish on parts that are awkward to brush. Keep in mind that this is MyPerfectColor paint matched to the selected brand color reference, not the original ICI paint product.
What surface prep should I do before spraying ICI 299 Angel Hair on metal, plastic, or painted parts?
Start by cleaning the part so dust, oil, and grease are removed. If the surface is glossy or slick and the material allows it, light scuffing can help the coating bond better. Mask off areas that should not be painted, and test the finish on the actual surface before coating the full item.
Prep matters because adhesion and the final color read can change with the substrate. A proper test is especially helpful on plastic, metal, and previously coated parts.
Will ICI 299 Angel Hair look the same in matte, satin, and gloss finishes?
No. The same match of ICI 299 Angel Hair can look different after application depending on the finish. Matte, satin, and gloss all reflect light differently, so the color may read softer, brighter, deeper, or more reflective even when the color match itself is the same.
If the item will sit next to an existing painted surface, finish choice is part of the match decision. A test piece is the safest way to confirm the final look.
How should I apply ICI 299 Angel Hair spray paint to avoid runs or uneven coverage?
Apply MyPerfectColor custom spray paint in light, even coats instead of trying to cover in one heavy pass. Keep the can moving, overlap each pass slightly, and hold a consistent distance from the surface so the film builds evenly.
Heavy coats can cause runs, sags, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking build. Let each coat dry as directed before adding the next coat, and use more than one light coat if the substrate needs it.
Which finish should I choose for ICI 299 Angel Hair when ordering paint for my project?
Choose the finish based on how the item will be used and how you want the coated part to perform. A lower-sheen finish reduces reflectivity, while a higher-sheen finish is easier to wipe down and will make the color read more reflective on the finished item.
Because finish changes the way a match of ICI 299 Angel Hair looks, pick the sheen that best fits the part you are painting and the nearby surfaces it must coordinate with. If you are unsure, match the finish of the item you are coating or test first on a small area.

How do I find the same color as the ICI 299 Angel Hair in a different company?
While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 299 Angel Hair, we don't provide any crossover information because this is a subjective determination. Every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, so determining which color is the best approximation is a judgement call.
However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Related Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the company 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.
