Match of ICI™ 470 Wood Thrush *

Confirm the target from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference from the original brand, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor makes a custom-matched paint to the selected brand color reference, so the key decision is making sure ICI 470 Wood Thrush is the color you actually want before you order.

If you are matching a part, fixture, or accessory that will sit next to an existing painted surface, check the color against a physical reference because aging, sheen, and lighting can make the same color read differently.

Primer depends on the substrate, its condition, and the paint type you are using. A primer never hurts and can improve adhesion, but it is not always required.

For projects like PVC pipe, metal fixtures, hardware, vents, or other difficult surfaces, check the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product you plan to order. Surface preparation matters because it can affect how well the color match applies and how evenly it covers.

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used, how much durability you need, how reflective you want the surface to be, and how easy you need cleanup to be. The sheen is a practical ordering choice, not just an appearance preference.

Keep in mind that the same match of ICI 470 Wood Thrush can look different at different gloss levels and on different substrates. A lower sheen usually reduces reflections, while a higher sheen is more reflective and often easier to wipe clean.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the color name alone. For this color, the Safety Data Sheets can be found at https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

If you are ordering a specific format, such as spray paint or another MyPerfectColor product, make sure you review the SDS for that exact product before use.

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and the number of coats needed. As a general guide, a typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet.

If you are painting items like pipes, vents, grilles, hardware, shutters, or other fixtures, estimate carefully because rough surfaces and extra coats can increase the amount needed. Ordering the right quantity up front helps avoid a shortage in the middle of the project.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the ICI 470 Wood Thrush 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 470 Wood Thrush, 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.
