Match of ICI™ 517 Beacon Hill *

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so the safe approach is to test on the actual part first. MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to 517 Beacon Hill can stick well to many plastics, but surface texture and resin type can change adhesion.

For better bond and more reliable results, use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel before topcoating. Clean the part first, and if the plastic is glossy or slick, a light scuff can also help. Do not assume one prep method works for every plastic.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product and its chemistry, not to the 517 Beacon Hill color name by itself. If you are ordering a MyPerfectColor match of 517 Beacon Hill, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets for the product you plan to buy.

If you need the SDS before ordering, review the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the exact product format, such as spray paint or another matched coating. That gives you the safety information for the paint you will actually use.

Yes. A match of 517 Beacon Hill in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint is often used on small parts where a smooth, durable sprayed finish is useful, such as switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, and similar items.

This is a good fit when you want the part itself painted to match a known color reference and the item is small enough for spray application. If the part stays installed, mask adjacent surfaces carefully so overspray does not affect nearby finishes.

Coverage depends on the size of the item, surface texture, hide, spray technique, and how many coats you need. As a planning guide, one typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but real coverage can be lower on rough, porous, or high-contrast surfaces.

For 517 Beacon Hill, it is better to estimate based on the actual parts you are painting rather than the color name alone. If you are coating multiple items or need extra coats for uniform color, plan for more paint than the minimum estimate.

Start by cleaning the surface so dirt, oil, wax, and other contamination do not interfere with adhesion. For metal, remove rust and loose material, and scuff glossy areas so the new coating has better grip. For an existing coating, make sure the old finish is sound before painting over it.

With a match of 517 Beacon Hill, the condition of the old surface can affect the final appearance as much as the color itself. Peeling, chalking, soft, or heavily textured coatings can change how the new paint looks and performs, so test a small area when the substrate or old finish is uncertain.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 517 Beacon Hill, 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.
