Match of ICI™ 238 Old Rose *

Use light, even coats rather than one heavy pass. Keep the can moving, hold a consistent distance from the part, and overlap each pass slightly so the film builds evenly. This helps reduce runs, uneven sheen, and color build-up that can make a match of 238 Old Rose read darker or muddier than intended.

This is especially important on small items, trim pieces, vents, grilles, or other parts where spray paint is the main application method.

Custom-made color orders should be checked carefully before purchase because they are made to your selected brand color reference and are not returnable or refundable. Confirm that ICI 238 Old Rose is the correct target, and also verify the MyPerfectColor product type, sheen, and quantity before you place the order.

If you need the color on a specific surface or in a specific format, make sure those details are set first so you do not end up with the wrong product for the job.

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. Other MyPerfectColor paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, but the actual result can vary with the surface and application.

If your project includes rough, porous, or dark substrates, plan for extra material so you have enough for full coverage and any needed second coat.

Primer depends on the substrate, its condition, and the product type you are using. As a rule of thumb, primer never hurts and can improve adhesion, but it is not always required.

For a custom match of 238 Old Rose, check the prep guidance for the selected MyPerfectColor product and consider a test application if the surface is unusual, slick, or previously coated.

Confirm the color from a physical swatch or a known existing reference, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color standard, so the most important step is making sure ICI 238 Old Rose is the exact target you want before you order.

If the color will be used beside an existing painted surface, verify the reference carefully because age, sheen, and substrate can make a neighboring area look different from the original standard.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the ICI 238 Old Rose 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 238 Old Rose, 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.
