A match of Valspar 1011-6 Ancient Burgundy is a very dark burgundy with a warm red-brown undertone and a muted, low-chroma character. With an LRV of 2.48, it reads as a deep shade rather than a clear red, and it can appear even heavier in lower-sheen finishes.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on metal brackets, vent covers, speaker grilles, switch plates, lamp parts, mailbox hardware, railings, shutters, and small furniture accents where a dark burgundy is needed on a sprayable surface. It also works well for PVC trim pieces, access panels, and removable fixtures that need a consistent color match without brush marks.

Because this is a very dark color, surface prep and finish choice matter. Scratches, filler spots, and texture can show more clearly on smooth or glossy parts, and sheen differences may change how deep the color looks. Even, fully built coats help the color read uniformly across metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Valspar™ 1011-6 Ancient Burgundy *

What sheen should I choose for 1011-6 Ancient Burgundy Valspar when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used, how much wear it will see, and how much reflectivity you want on the finished surface. In a dark color like 1011-6 Ancient Burgundy, a glossier finish will usually look more reflective and can make texture, dents, and brush or spray marks easier to see, while a flatter finish can hide surface variation better but may be harder to clean.

MyPerfectColor is matching the color reference, but the sheen you select affects how that match reads on the part you are painting. If the item will be handled often or needs easier cleanup, pick the sheen that fits that use instead of choosing by color name alone.

How should I spray 1011-6 Ancient Burgundy to avoid runs or uneven color?

Use light, even coats and keep the spray moving so you build coverage gradually. Heavy passes can cause runs, shiny spots, or an uneven look in a dark burgundy match like 1011-6 Ancient Burgundy.

Hold a consistent distance, overlap each pass evenly, and let each coat flash off according to the product directions before adding the next coat. That approach helps the finish and color read more evenly on small parts, fixtures, and other sprayable items.

Can I apply a match of 1011-6 Ancient Burgundy Valspar over metal or an old painted surface?

Yes, if the metal or existing coating is clean and firmly attached. Remove dust, grease, wax, and loose paint, then scuff glossy or intact surfaces so the new coating can grip properly.

Rust, peeling paint, contamination, and heavy texture can affect how a match of 1011-6 Ancient Burgundy looks after it dries. If the old finish is unknown or in poor condition, prepare a small test area first so you can confirm adhesion and appearance before coating the whole part.

What should I confirm before ordering 1011-6 Ancient Burgundy Valspar as a custom MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm the exact color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity before you place the order. Custom-made matches for 1011-6 Ancient Burgundy are made to order, so it is important to verify the details before buying.

These custom color matches are not returnable or refundable, so make sure the reference and finish are the ones you want before you order. This is especially important if the painted item will sit next to an existing surface or needs to match a specific part repeatably.

Where do I find the SDS for 1011-6 Ancient Burgundy Valspar in MyPerfectColor paint?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry you order, not to the brand color name alone. Use the SDS for the exact format you are buying for 1011-6 Ancient Burgundy.
