A match of ICI 1134 Metropolis reads as a very dark green-gray with a cool, slightly blue-green undertone. The low chroma keeps it restrained rather than colorful, while the low LRV gives it a deep, dense appearance that can lean close to charcoal in some lighting.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this selected brand color can be used on small parts where a subdued dark finish is needed: HVAC vents, speaker grilles, switch covers, brackets, railings, mailbox hardware, shutter components, window hardware, shelving brackets, and metal or plastic accessories. It also fits PVC, frames, and fixture details when the goal is to coordinate removable pieces with an existing painted surface.

Because this is a dark, low-chroma color, finish and surface prep matter. Gloss levels can make texture, seams, and substrate differences easier to notice, and thin coverage may read lighter or slightly uneven over a contrasting base. Even spray passes and adequate film build help the color read consistently; on exterior parts, darker colors can show wear and exposure more readily than quieter mid-tones.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ 1134 Metropolis *

Do I need primer before ordering a match of 1134 Metropolis for my project?

Primer may be needed depending on the substrate, the condition of the surface, and the paint type you plan to use. For a match of 1134 Metropolis, the safest approach is to check the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product you are ordering.

As a rule of thumb, primer usually does not hurt adhesion and can improve it, but it is not always required. If the surface is bare, uneven, glossy, repaired, or hard to coat, primer is often the better choice before applying the matched paint.

Can I use a match of 1134 Metropolis on plastic parts, or do I need special prep?

Plastics vary a lot, so a match of 1134 Metropolis should be tested on the actual plastic before you commit to the full part. Surface type, mold release, flexibility, and prior coatings can all change how well the paint bonds.

MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion. If the plastic is unfamiliar or low-energy, do a test application first and confirm the prep steps for that specific item.

How much of 1134 Metropolis should I order for my project?

Coverage for a match of 1134 Metropolis 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, but the exact amount still depends on the product format and the job. If the surface is rough, porous, or a dark color that needs better hide, plan for more material.

Can I return a custom match of 1134 Metropolis if it is not the color I expected?

Custom-made color matches such as 1134 Metropolis should be chosen carefully before ordering, because they are not returnable or refundable. Confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity before you buy.

If the painted item will sit next to an existing surface, remember that age, sheen, and substrate can change how the finished color reads. Ordering correctly up front is the best way to avoid a mismatch problem later.

Where do I find the SDS for a match of 1134 Metropolis?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product and its chemistry, not to the 1134 Metropolis color name by itself. You need the Safety Data Sheet for the exact MyPerfectColor product you are ordering.

Check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets for the product line you plan to use and confirm that it matches the format you ordered. That is the correct way to review safety and compliance information for a match of 1134 Metropolis.
