Match of ICI™ 1384 Gabled Blue *

Before coating metal or an existing painted surface with a match of ICI 1384 Gabled Blue, clean the part to remove dust, grease, and any other contamination. If you see rust, remove the loose rust first, and scuff any sound glossy coating so the new paint has a better surface to grip.

The condition of the old coating matters. Gloss, texture, peeling, and prior wear can all change how 1384 Gabled Blue looks after it is applied. If the old finish is questionable, treat prep as a decision step before you order the final product.

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to ICI 1384 Gabled Blue is practical for small parts and hardware where a durable spray finish is the goal. It is commonly used for switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, and similar removable items.

For these projects, the main decision is whether the part can be cleaned, masked, and sprayed evenly. Use light coats to reduce buildup on edges and openings, especially on detailed or shaped pieces.

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used and how much reflectivity you want. Lower sheen finishes usually hide surface flaws better, while higher sheen finishes are easier to clean but can show texture, brush marks, or spray variation more readily.

The sheen also changes how 1384 Gabled Blue reads on the finished item, so the color reference alone does not define the final appearance. If you are matching an existing piece, select the finish that best fits the surrounding surfaces and the way the item will be handled.

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product and its chemistry, not to the ICI color name alone. If you need the safety information for a match of ICI 1384 Gabled Blue, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page here: Safety Data Sheets.

If you are comparing product formats, make sure you are looking at the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor product you plan to order.

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

If the surface is rough, dark, porous, or uneven, plan for more material. For other paint formats, coverage is often between 400 and 600 square feet per gallon, but the correct quantity still depends on the exact product and the project details.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the ICI 1384 Gabled Blue 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 1384 Gabled 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.
