Match of Sico™ 6173-73 Iron Ore *

No. The color target stays the same, but the finish changes how light reflects, so a match of Sico 6173-73 Iron Ore can read differently in matte, satin, or gloss after it is applied.

If you are coating a part that will sit next to an existing painted surface, choose the finish that best matches the surrounding item. Even with the correct color formula, sheen differences can be noticeable.

Yes, but plastic type and surface prep matter. Plastics vary widely, so test on the actual material before coating the full part with a match of Sico 6173-73 Iron Ore.

MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult or low-energy surfaces. If the part is flexible, textured, or previously coated, a test piece is the safest way to confirm the result.

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

If you are coating trim pieces, vents, hardware, or small fixtures in a match of Sico 6173-73 Iron Ore, allow extra for test passes and for a second coat. Rough or porous surfaces and larger color changes can use more paint than a smooth, well-prepared part.

A match of Sico 6173-73 Iron Ore is useful when you need to coat small parts or awkward items that are easier to spray than brush, such as trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, and accessories.

It is also practical for items that need to coordinate with an existing painted environment, including removable parts and small components where even coverage and repeatability matter.

Confirm the target color from a physical Sico swatch or a known existing reference, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor matches its paint to the original brand color standard, so the code identifies the target but does not define sheen or the condition of an existing surface.

If the item you are matching has aged, faded, or been repainted, verify the reference before you order a match of Sico 6173-73 Iron Ore. That is the best way to reduce the risk of selecting the wrong color target.

While we can provide Sico 6173-73 Iron Ore in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another brand.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the brand 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.
