Match of ICI™ 747 Prickly Pear *

Confirm ICI 747 Prickly Pear from a physical swatch, chip, or another known existing color reference from the original brand when possible. Do not rely on screen viewing alone, since monitors and phone displays can shift the appearance of the color. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so the target color needs to be verified before you order.

ICI 747 Prickly Pear custom spray paint is useful for trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and other parts that are awkward or inefficient to coat with a brush. It is a practical way to apply a match of ICI 747 Prickly Pear to small or removable items where spray application is easier to control than brushing.

It is also a good fit when you need several non-traditional parts to coordinate to the same known color reference, such as covers, grilles, brackets, frames, or other small components.

Finish is a practical coating choice that can change how ICI 747 Prickly Pear looks on the finished item. Different sheens change reflectivity, which can make the same color read a little differently on the surface.

That means the color match is only part of the result. The substrate, texture, and sheen all affect how a match of ICI 747 Prickly Pear appears after application.

For ICI 747 Prickly Pear custom spray paint, dry-to-touch, recoating, and full handling are different stages. The paint is dry to touch within minutes, should be recoated in 1 to 2 hours, and is fully cured in about two weeks.

If you need to handle or assemble the part soon after painting, plan around those separate time frames instead of treating dry-to-touch as fully cured.

Primer needs depend on the substrate, its condition, and the paint type you are using with ICI 747 Prickly Pear. The selected product's prep guidance should be checked before you start.

As a general rule, primer never hurts and can improve adhesion, but it is not always necessary. If you are painting an unfamiliar or difficult surface, a primer is a practical way to reduce risk before applying a match of ICI 747 Prickly Pear.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the ICI 747 Prickly Pear 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 747 Prickly Pear, 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.
