Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of ICI 1264 Cape Storm is a deep, muted blue-green with a cool teal lean and a noticeable gray cast. With an LRV of 10.89, it reads fairly dark rather than bright or clear, and the lower chroma keeps it restrained instead of vivid.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 1264 Cape Storm can be useful on smaller parts that benefit from a darker coordinating finish, such as vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, railings, brackets, mailbox hardware, shutters, PVC trim pieces, or metal and plastic fixtures. The color's subdued blue-green character also works well on frames, shelving supports, knobs, and other accessories where a darker, slightly cool tone is wanted without strong saturation.

Because this is a relatively deep color, surface prep and film build matter. Light or uneven substrates may need additional coats for even coverage, and gloss level, texture, and the base material can change how dark and blue-green the final result appears. On exposed parts, darker colors can also make scratches, sheen differences, and underlying surface condition more noticeable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ 1264 Cape Storm *

How much MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to ICI 1264 Cape Storm do I need for my project?

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet.

If you are coating small parts like vents, pipe, hardware, trim pieces, or other removable items in a match of 1264 Cape Storm, estimate the total painted area and plan for extra material if the surface is rough or the existing color is hard to cover.

What sheen should I order for MyPerfectColor 1264 Cape Storm?

Sheen is a separate ordering choice from the color reference. The code 1264 Cape Storm tells MyPerfectColor what color to match, but it does not define whether you need gloss, satin, or a flatter finish.

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used and how you want the matched coating to perform in cleaning, durability, and reflectivity. Keep in mind that the same 1264 Cape Storm color can look different in different gloss levels, even when the formula is correct.

Can I use a match of ICI 1264 Cape Storm on plastic parts like PVC pipe, vents, or grilles?

Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to ICI 1264 Cape Storm is commonly considered for parts like PVC pipe, vents, grilles, and other small plastic items, but plastics vary widely. Test the paint on the actual material before committing to the full project.

For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer recommended for the project. Good prep is especially important on plastic because surface type can affect how well the coating bonds and how the finished color reads.

What should I confirm before ordering MyPerfectColor custom paint matched to ICI 1264 Cape Storm?

Before ordering, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity. A match of ICI 1264 Cape Storm is the color target, but you still need to choose the right format for your project, such as spray paint or another MyPerfectColor product.

Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is best to verify the details first. This is especially important if you are matching a specific part, fixture, or accessory that needs to coordinate with an existing color reference.

How should I prep metal or an existing coating before applying a match of ICI 1264 Cape Storm?

Clean the surface well, remove rust or contamination, and scuff glossy areas so the new coating can bond properly. If the part already has paint on it, the condition of that old coating can affect how the new match of 1264 Cape Storm looks and performs.

Gloss, texture, and surface wear can all change the final appearance. If the item will sit next to an older painted surface, test first so you can check how the new coating reads on that specific metal part or existing finish.
