Match of ICI™ 540 Butterfield *

Yes, but plastic is not all the same, so a good result depends on the specific material and prep. MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to ICI 540 Butterfield will stick well to many plastics, but some low-energy plastics can be harder to coat and may need extra preparation.

Clean the surface well, let it dry, and test on the actual plastic before painting the finished item. Using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion and reduce the risk of peeling on difficult plastics.

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the ICI 540 Butterfield color name alone. If you need the SDS, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the specific product format you are ordering.

If you are comparing spray paint, paint pens, or another format, make sure you review the SDS for that exact product rather than assuming one sheet covers every version.

Even when the color match is correct, lighting, sheen, placement, and nearby surfaces can change how ICI 540 Butterfield reads on the finished item. The same color can look different on metal, plastic, wood, or an existing painted surface because each substrate reflects light differently.

If the part will sit next to an older painted area, compare it under the same lighting and at the same viewing distance you will have in service. That helps you judge the applied color more accurately before committing to the full project.

Confirm ICI 540 Butterfield from a physical swatch or another known existing color reference, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color reference, so the best way to avoid ordering the wrong color is to verify the exact target before you buy.

If you already have a sample, swatch, or an existing item in that color, use that as the reference point. Screen images can shift with brightness, device settings, and lighting, which can make the color look different from the actual target.

For metal, start with a clean, dry surface and remove rust, dust, oil, and other contamination before applying a MyPerfectColor match to ICI 540 Butterfield. If the existing coating is glossy or smooth, scuffing it first can help the new coating grip better.

Check that any old coating is sound and not peeling, since the condition of the base surface can affect adhesion and final appearance. Gloss, texture, and surface defects can all change how the finished ICI 540 Butterfield match looks on items like fixtures, railings, hardware, and other metal parts.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the ICI 540 Butterfield in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

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. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

MyPerfectColor offers custom spray paint matched to ICI 540 Butterfield which enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish. It is difficult to gauge spray paint coverage because it depends on how you apply it and the amount of overspray, but generally the 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. This paint sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 540 Butterfield, 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.
