Match of ICI™ 1546 Negative Image *

Before you order 1546 Negative Image by ICI, confirm the brand color reference, the product format you need, the sheen, and the quantity. MyPerfectColor is making a custom match to the selected brand color reference, not selling the original ICI paint product. That matters because the same color target can be ordered in different formats, and choosing the wrong one can affect how the finished item looks and performs.

Custom-made color orders should be selected carefully because they are made specifically for your request and are not returnable or refundable in the same way as stock items. If you are matching a removable part, fixture, or accessory, it is worth double-checking the substrate and finish requirements before you place the order.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product chemistry, not to the 1546 Negative Image by ICI color name by itself. To review the Safety Data Sheet for the product you are ordering, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page at https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

If you are comparing more than one MyPerfectColor product type or finish, check the SDS for the exact product you plan to use, since the safety information follows the paint chemistry rather than the color reference alone.

Whether you need primer for 1546 Negative Image by ICI depends on the substrate, its condition, and the product type you chose. A primer never hurts and can only improve adhesion, but it is not always required. For example, bare, glossy, slick, damaged, or difficult surfaces usually benefit more from primer than a sound, already-coated surface.

Check the prep guidance for the exact MyPerfectColor product you ordered before you start. If you are painting a plastic, metal, or previously coated item, a test prep step can help you decide whether the surface needs extra adhesion help before the color coat goes on.

Coverage for 1546 Negative Image by ICI depends on the size of the item, the surface texture, the hiding power needed, the application method, and how many coats you plan to apply. If you are ordering custom spray paint, one can typically covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet, but real-world coverage can be lower on rough or porous surfaces.

For the most accurate order, estimate the total area you need to coat and add room for extra coats if the substrate is dark, uneven, or highly textured. That is the safest way to avoid running short during the project.

For 1546 Negative Image by ICI, spray in light, even coats instead of trying to cover the surface in one heavy pass. Keep a consistent distance, overlap each pass slightly, and move at a steady speed so the film builds evenly. Heavy spraying can cause runs, uneven sheen, and a muddied color build.

Use the product's label guidance for recoat and dry times, since timing can vary by paint type and conditions. If you are painting a small part, hardware, or a removable fixture, test your technique on a spare piece first so you can confirm the spray pattern before coating the final item.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 1546 Negative Image, 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.
