Match of ICI™ 581 Grey Squirrel *

Before you apply a match of ICI 581 Grey Squirrel, clean the part, remove grease or residue, lightly scuff it when the surface calls for it, mask off adjacent areas, and test the paint on the actual item first. That helps you confirm adhesion and see how the color reads on that substrate before you coat the full part.

Plastic substrates can vary a lot, even when they look similar, so test a small area of ICI 581 Grey Squirrel on the actual plastic before committing to the whole part. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can improve adhesion on difficult surfaces.

Use light, even coats of a match of ICI 581 Grey Squirrel, keep the can moving, overlap passes slightly, and hold a consistent distance from the surface. Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking color build, so it is better to build coverage gradually.

Before ordering custom-made ICI 581 Grey Squirrel, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen you need, and the quantity. Custom color matches are made to order and should be chosen carefully because they are not returnable or refundable.

Finish changes how a match of ICI 581 Grey Squirrel will look after application because sheen affects reflectivity and the way the color is perceived on the finished item. If you need the coating to coordinate with a specific part, make sure the finish you order matches the practical look you want on that surface.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the ICI 581 Grey Squirrel 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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 581 Grey Squirrel, 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.
