A match of Kelly Moore KM4080-5 Truffle Trouble reads as a deep, warm brown with a red-brown, slightly coppery cast. It is dark enough to feel grounded, but the chroma keeps it from looking flat or heavily gray.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Kelly Moore color reference can work well on railings, mailbox parts, vent covers, switch plates, speaker grilles, shelf brackets, lamp bases, shutter hardware, PVC, and other small metal or plastic pieces where a coordinated dark brown is needed.

Because this is a fairly deep, warm color, finish and surface prep will affect the final read. On smooth surfaces it can look richer, while texture, patchy substrates, and sheen differences can make the red-brown undertone more noticeable. Coverage may take extra care over very light or uneven backgrounds to keep the color even.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Kelly Moore™ KM4080-5 Truffle Trouble *

How should I prep metal before ordering MyPerfectColor paint matched to Kelly Moore KM4080-5 Truffle Trouble?

Clean the metal first, then remove rust, oil, dust, and any loose coating before you paint. If the part has an existing finish that is still sound, scuffing the surface can help the new coating bond better.

Keep in mind that gloss, texture, and the condition of the old coating can change how KM4080-5 Truffle Trouble looks after application. If the part will sit next to an older painted area, test a small section first so you know what to expect.

How much MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Kelly Moore KM4080-5 Truffle Trouble do I need?

Start by measuring the total surface area, then factor in texture, hiding power, spray method, and the number of coats you expect to use. As a planning guide, one can of spray paint typically covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

For other MyPerfectColor paint formats, coverage is often about 400 to 600 square feet, but rough, porous, or uneven surfaces can use more. If the item is textured or will need extra coats to cover well, order enough paint to finish the full job without stopping short.

Can MyPerfectColor paint matched to Kelly Moore KM4080-5 Truffle Trouble be used on plastic?

Yes, but plastics vary widely, so it is best to test on the actual part before coating the full item. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult surfaces.

If the plastic is flexible, unknown, or low-energy, clean it thoroughly and scuff it if appropriate before testing. A small test helps confirm both adhesion and the way KM4080-5 Truffle Trouble will read on that specific material.

Will the finish change how Kelly Moore KM4080-5 Truffle Trouble looks in MyPerfectColor paint?

Yes. Finish changes how much light the coating reflects, and that changes how KM4080-5 Truffle Trouble reads on the finished item. The same color can look different on gloss, satin, or flatter coatings.

If you are matching an existing painted part, choose the finish carefully as part of the order, not just the color. Finish differences are especially noticeable on smooth metal or plastic.

What should I confirm before ordering MyPerfectColor paint matched to Kelly Moore KM4080-5 Truffle Trouble?

Confirm the brand reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity before you place the order. Custom-made color matches are made to order, so they should be chosen carefully.

Custom color orders are not returnable or refundable, so make sure KM4080-5 Truffle Trouble is the correct reference for your project and that you are ordering the right format for the surface you plan to paint.
