Match of ICI™ 923 Cockatoo *

For a match of 923 Cockatoo by ICI, clean the metal or existing coating first, then check for rust, chalk, grease, loose paint, or other contamination. Scuffing the surface helps the new coating bond, especially on glossy or slick existing finishes.

The final result can shift if the old coating is uneven, worn, heavily textured, or has a different sheen than the new paint. If the part is important or hard to replace, test the prep and coating on a small area before painting the full item.

Confirm 923 Cockatoo by ICI from a physical swatch, a known existing painted item, or another trusted original color reference before ordering. Screen images alone can shift the color enough to cause a mismatch.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so it is important to verify that 923 Cockatoo is the target you want before you place the order. If the target surface is an aged or weathered sample, compare carefully because the original color and the current surface may not look the same.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the color name alone. For 923 Cockatoo by ICI, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page at https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

If you are comparing formats, make sure you are reviewing the SDS for the specific MyPerfectColor product you plan to order, such as spray paint or another available format.

Coverage for 923 Cockatoo by ICI 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 MyPerfectColor paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet.

If the surface is rough, porous, darker than the target color, or likely to need extra coats, plan for more material. For an important project, it is safer to estimate conservatively instead of ordering only the minimum amount.

Yes. 923 Cockatoo by ICI is a practical match for MyPerfectColor spray paint when you need to coat small parts such as switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, knobs, trim pieces, or similar items.

Spray application is often the easiest way to get even coverage on small or detailed parts. Be sure the item is clean and properly prepped first, especially if it is metal, plastic, or already painted, since the substrate and old finish can affect how the matched color looks.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the ICI 923 Cockatoo 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.

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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 923 Cockatoo, 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.
