Match of ICI™ 1164 Silver Quill *

Use light, even coats and keep the spray can moving so you do not overload one spot. A steady overlap between passes helps the match of 1164 Silver Quill build more evenly and reduces the risk of runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking finish. Heavy passes can make a custom spray paint read differently on the final part than it does in the can.

If the item is important to the project, test on a small area or scrap piece first. That is especially useful when you are matching a known brand color on small parts, trim, or fixtures where the finish quality is easy to see.

If you need SDS information before ordering, confirm the exact MyPerfectColor product format you plan to use, since the SDS applies to the paint product being shipped.

Many plastics can be coated with MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 1164 Silver Quill, but plastics vary a lot. Because of that, it is smart to test on the actual plastic first and verify adhesion before finishing the full part.

Using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can improve adhesion on difficult surfaces. If the plastic is low energy, flexible, or unusually smooth, primer and a test spray are the safest way to reduce adhesion risk.

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 1164 Silver Quill is often used on small parts where a smooth sprayed finish matters, such as switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, knobs, brackets, trim pieces, and similar hardware. Spray application is practical when the part has edges, openings, or contours that are hard to coat neatly by hand.

For removable or replaceable parts, this can be a good way to keep the color consistent across multiple pieces. Make sure the surface is properly prepared and test the spray pattern on a scrap item first if the part has a visible finish requirement.

Clean the surface first, then remove loose paint, rust, oil, dust, and other contamination. If the existing coating is sound, a light scuff can help the new coat grip better. If the metal is rusty or the old finish is failing, address that before applying a match of 1164 Silver Quill.

The condition of the existing surface can change how the final color reads. Gloss, texture, and leftover contamination can all affect appearance and adhesion, so a good prep step is important before using MyPerfectColor paint matched to the selected ICI color reference.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 1164 Silver Quill, 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.
