A match of ICI 909 Slippery Rock is a muted gray-brown with a slight green-yellow cast. It reads as an earthy, low-chroma neutral rather than a clean gray, with moderate depth and a subdued finish response. MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint made to match this reference keeps that understated, slightly olive character.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, shelving ends, mailboxes, railings, shutters, and other small components where a quiet neutral is needed. It also works for PVC trim pieces, hardware, and fixture parts when the goal is to coordinate removable or hard-to-brush surfaces to a known brand color.

Because the color is fairly muted, it usually covers more predictably than stronger hues, but final appearance can still shift with substrate color, texture, and gloss level. On smooth metal or plastic, the color may read a little cleaner; on rougher surfaces or over dark bases, it can look slightly deeper and more olive. As with any custom spray application, surface prep and film build will affect the final match.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ 909 Slippery Rock *

Can I order 909 Slippery Rock by ICI as MyPerfectColor spray paint for switch covers, vents, or hardware?

Yes. MyPerfectColor can make a custom spray paint match of 909 Slippery Rock by ICI for small parts and fixtures where a smooth sprayed finish is practical. That includes switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, and similar items.

It is a MyPerfectColor paint matched to the selected brand color reference, not the original ICI paint product. For the best result, prepare the surface for the material you are coating and use spray application on removable or easy-to-mask parts.

How much 909 Slippery Rock spray paint should I buy for small parts or hardware?

A typical can of MyPerfectColor spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but real coverage depends on the part size, texture, color undercoat, spray method, and how many coats you need for even hide.

For 909 Slippery Rock, plan extra paint if you are coating rough, porous, or dark surfaces, or if the project has many small parts. If the job is larger than small fixtures or hardware, another MyPerfectColor format may be more efficient because non-spray paints typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet.

Where can I find the SDS for 909 Slippery Rock by ICI?

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product or chemistry, not to the color name 909 Slippery Rock alone. Use the SDS for the exact product you order.

Will 909 Slippery Rock look the same in matte and gloss MyPerfectColor spray paint?

Not necessarily. The same 909 Slippery Rock color can read differently in matte versus gloss because the finish changes how light reflects off the surface and how deep the color appears.

If you are matching an existing painted item, choose the finish that best matches the target surface. If the finish changes, expect the applied color to look different even when the color formula is correct.

How do I confirm that 909 Slippery Rock by ICI is the right color reference before ordering?

Confirm 909 Slippery Rock from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference, not from a screen alone. Monitor and phone display settings can shift how the color looks.

MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard, so the best way to avoid ordering the wrong match is to verify the target color before placing the order. A brand name by itself does not show sheen, product line, or how an aged surface may look today.

How do I find the same color as the ICI 909 Slippery Rock in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 909 Slippery Rock, 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.
