A match of ICI 842 Glitzy Gold reads as a light, vivid yellow-gold with a warm cast and a slight greenish undertone. It is brighter than an antique gold and less muted than a bronze, so the color comes across as clear and lively rather than earthy.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be useful on small, sprayable parts that need a strong gold note without brush marks. Common uses include hardware, switch covers, vent grilles, speaker grilles, frames, brackets, shelving details, railings, mailboxes, shutters, and other metal or plastic accessories where an even coated finish matters.
Because this is a high-chroma light color, coverage may take more build over dark, stained, or uneven substrates, and a uniform base can help the match read consistently. Finish also changes the result: gloss can make texture and sheen differences more noticeable, while lower sheen can soften the brightness. For outdoor parts, vivid yellows and golds can be more sensitive to exposure than quieter neutrals.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ 842 Glitzy Gold *
Do I need primer before using MyPerfectColor matched to ICI 842 Glitzy Gold?
Primer depends on the surface, its condition, and the paint type you are using. For MyPerfectColor matched to ICI 842 Glitzy Gold, a primer is not always required, but it can improve adhesion and help create a more even base, especially on bare, repaired, glossy, or difficult substrates.
If the item has old coatings, patching, or a surface that tends to resist paint, follow the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product you plan to order. In general, primer never hurts and can only help adhesion, but the right call depends on the project.
Where do I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor 842 Glitzy Gold?
The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product formulation, not the ICI 842 Glitzy Gold color name by itself. To get the correct Safety Data Sheet, use the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor product and chemistry you plan to order.
MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets can be found on the Safety Data Sheets page at https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm. If you need the SDS for jobsite records, confirm the product format first, since the sheet must match the material you are buying.
What should I confirm before ordering MyPerfectColor 842 Glitzy Gold, since custom matches are not returnable?
Before ordering MyPerfectColor matched to ICI 842 Glitzy Gold, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity. Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to verify the details before you place the order.
This matters most when the paint is going onto a specific part, fixture, or removable item where the match needs to be right the first time. Check the intended format and use case carefully so you do not order the wrong product.
How much area will MyPerfectColor 842 Glitzy Gold cover?
Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats the job needs. For MyPerfectColor matched to ICI 842 Glitzy Gold, plan the quantity based on the actual project, not just the color name.
A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, but coverage can be lower on rough, porous, or highly detailed surfaces. If the part is textured or the color is going over a dark or uneven base, allow for extra material.
How should I spray MyPerfectColor matched to ICI 842 Glitzy Gold for the best result?
Use light, even coats and keep the spray distance consistent. Overlap each pass slightly, and avoid heavy passes that can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy color build. That approach is especially important when applying MyPerfectColor matched to ICI 842 Glitzy Gold on small parts, trim pieces, hardware, or other detailed objects.
Let each coat build gradually so the finish stays controlled and the color reads evenly across the surface. If the part has edges, recesses, or mixed materials, work slowly and keep the application pattern consistent from one area to the next.

How do I find the same color as the ICI 842 Glitzy Gold in a different company?
While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 842 Glitzy Gold, 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.

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.
