Match of Home Hardware™ 4032 Steel *

Coverage for 4032 Steel depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. If you are ordering spray paint, plan on about 20 square feet of coverage per can with one coat. For other MyPerfectColor paint formats, coverage is typically about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon, but the actual amount can vary by surface and application.

If you are covering a rough, porous, dark, or uneven surface, plan for more material than the basic estimate.

With 4032 Steel in spray paint, dry-to-touch happens within minutes, but that is not the same as being ready for another coat or for full use. Recoat time is usually 1 to 2 hours, and full curing takes about 2 weeks.

If the part will be handled often or put back into service quickly, let the coating cure as long as possible before heavy use.

Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to 4032 Steel can work on many plastics, but plastics vary widely. Because some plastics are difficult to coat, test the actual part first if you can.

For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer recommended for acrylic enamel before applying the 4032 Steel topcoat. That is especially important when the plastic is smooth, flexible, or low-energy.

Before applying MyPerfectColor paint matched to 4032 Steel, clean the surface well, remove grease or other contamination, and scuff glossy areas so the new coating can bond better. If there is rust, loose paint, or a failing old finish, address that before spraying.

The condition of the old coating, plus its gloss and texture, can change how 4032 Steel looks after it is applied, so test a small area when the existing finish is uncertain.

Choose the sheen for 4032 Steel based on how the part will be used, not just on color. Higher gloss usually cleans more easily and can be more durable, while lower gloss reduces reflectivity. The sheen also changes how the matched color reads on the finished item.

If the 4032 Steel item will sit beside an existing painted surface, try to match the sheen as closely as possible because gloss differences can make the same color look different.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Home Hardware 4032 Steel 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 Home Hardware 4032 Steel, 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.
