Match of ICI™ 518 Reindeer *

Confirm 518 Reindeer from a physical swatch, fan deck, or an existing painted sample from the original ICI color reference, not from a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor makes a match of 518 Reindeer in its own paint, so the best buying decision starts with verifying that the reference color itself is the one you want.

If you are matching an existing part, compare to the original color standard when possible rather than to an aged or weathered surface, since the current appearance can be different from the original 518 Reindeer reference.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and its chemistry, not to the 518 Reindeer color name by itself. For this color match, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

If you need the SDS for a specific MyPerfectColor format, check the sheet that matches the product you are ordering, since spray paint and other formats can have different documentation.

Before ordering 518 Reindeer, confirm the reference color, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity. Custom color matches are made to order, so choosing the wrong reference or finish can lead to a result that does not fit your project.

Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is worth checking the original brand color reference and your product selection carefully before you place the order.

Plastic can be a good use case for 518 Reindeer, but prep matters because plastics vary a lot. Test on the actual part first if possible, especially when the surface is unfamiliar or has a slick finish.

MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion. A primer is especially useful when the plastic is smooth, low-energy, or likely to be handled after painting.

For metal or a previously painted surface, clean off dirt, grease, rust, and loose material before applying 518 Reindeer. If the surface is glossy or slick, scuff sanding usually helps the new coating grip better.

The condition of the old coating can change the result, so check for peeling, contamination, texture, and uneven sheen before you paint. Those factors can affect how the matched 518 Reindeer color looks once it dries.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the ICI 518 Reindeer 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.

MyPerfectColor offers custom spray paint matched to ICI 518 Reindeer which enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish. It is difficult to gauge spray paint coverage because it depends on how you apply it and the amount of overspray, but generally the 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. This paint sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 518 Reindeer, 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.
