A match of ICI 618 Wild Honey is a warm, mid-light golden yellow with a soft honey and amber cast. It has moderate chroma, so it reads as a subdued yellow-gold rather than a sharp or citrusy yellow, with an earthy warmth that keeps it from looking overly bright.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 618 Wild Honey can be used on small parts and accessories where a warm color reference needs to be carried onto a separate item. It is a practical choice for vent covers, switch plates, mailboxes, railings, shelving brackets, picture frames, speaker grilles, hardware, shutters, and other sprayable metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces.

Because this color sits in the mid-light range, a dark or uneven substrate may still show through without proper prep, primer, or additional coats. Surface texture and finish can also change how golden or amber the color appears, and smoother or glossier parts may make sheen differences and application marks more noticeable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of ICI™ 618 Wild Honey *

Can I use 618 Wild Honey from ICI as MyPerfectColor spray paint on plastic parts?

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so the safest approach is to test 618 Wild Honey on the actual plastic you plan to paint. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but some low-energy plastics still need extra prep.

For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel before painting. That is especially important on parts like PVC trim, vents, covers, grilles, or other molded items where the surface may resist paint.

What spray technique should I use for 618 Wild Honey to avoid runs or uneven coverage?

Apply 618 Wild Honey in light, even coats instead of heavy passes. Keep your spray motion steady, overlap each pass slightly, and let each coat build gradually so the finish stays smooth.

This matters on small parts like hardware, trim pieces, speaker grilles, and removable fixtures because heavy spray can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy color build. If you are painting a surface that needs more coverage, use multiple light coats rather than trying to cover it all at once.

How should I prep metal or an existing coating before applying 618 Wild Honey?

Before applying 618 Wild Honey, clean the metal or coated surface well, remove dust, grease, and other contamination, and scuff any glossy sound coating so the new paint can grip. If there is rust, loose paint, or a failing finish, address that first because those issues can affect adhesion and appearance.

The final look can also change with the condition of the old coating, its texture, and its gloss level. If you are painting over a part that already has a visible finish, a test application is a practical way to check the result before you commit to the whole item.

Which finish should I order for 618 Wild Honey if I want easier cleanup on the finished part?

Choose the finish for 618 Wild Honey based on how the part will be used, not just on color. Higher gloss finishes usually clean more easily and reflect more light, while lower gloss finishes can hide minor surface issues better but may not wipe down as easily.

Keep in mind that sheen changes how the matched color looks on the finished item. If you are matching an existing painted surface, try to choose the sheen that is closest to the surface you are painting so the result reads more consistently.

How do I confirm 618 Wild Honey is the right ICI color before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm 618 Wild Honey from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference, not from a screen view alone. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so the target color should be verified before you place the order.

If the part will sit next to an existing painted surface, be extra careful about approval because aging, gloss, texture, and substrate can make the finished result read differently even when the color match is correct.

How do I find the same color as the ICI 618 Wild Honey in a different company?

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the ICI 618 Wild Honey, 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.
