Match of ICI™ 1571 Arcadian Blue *

Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to 1571 Arcadian Blue by ICI can work on many plastic parts, but plastics vary a lot. Test the actual material first if possible, especially on slick or low-energy plastics.

For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer before topcoating. Primer is especially useful when the plastic is hard to bond to or when the part will be handled often.

Finish changes how much light the coated part reflects, so the same match of 1571 Arcadian Blue by ICI can look different once it is sprayed. Higher gloss reflects more light and can make the color read differently than a lower sheen.

This is a product and surface effect, not a change in the color reference itself. The color match is still based on 1571 Arcadian Blue, but the final appearance depends on the sheen, film build, and substrate.

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used, cleaned, and handled. Higher sheen usually gives a more reflective finish and is often easier to wipe down, while lower sheen reduces reflection.

For a match of 1571 Arcadian Blue by ICI, the sheen you order can change the way the color reads on the finished item. If the part needs durability or frequent cleaning, start by choosing the finish that best fits that use, then order the color in that sheen.

Before applying MyPerfectColor paint matched to 1571 Arcadian Blue by ICI, clean the metal thoroughly and remove grease, dust, rust, and loose coating. If the surface already has paint on it, scuffing the existing finish can help the new coating bond better.

The condition of the old coating matters. Gloss, texture, and any failing paint can affect both adhesion and how the final match of 1571 Arcadian Blue by ICI looks once applied.

Coverage depends on the size of the part, the surface texture, the hiding power needed, the application method, and how many coats you plan to apply. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

If you are ordering a different MyPerfectColor format matched to 1571 Arcadian Blue by ICI, coverage is usually much higher, often about 400 to 600 square feet per coat depending on the product and surface.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 1571 Arcadian Blue, 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.
