A match of Valspar 1008-8A Gilman Rose reads as a warm, muted rose with brown and beige influence. It sits in a medium-light range, with a softened pink-red base rather than a clean pink or coral. The overall effect is subdued and earthy, with enough depth to keep it from looking pastel.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color is well suited to smaller parts and accessories where a softened rose finish is needed on a paintable surface. It can be used on switch covers, vent registers, speaker grilles, picture frames, shelving brackets, lamp parts, hardware, mailboxes, or decorative metal and plastic trim after proper preparation. On larger exterior details such as shutters, railings, or gutters, it will read as a quiet accent rather than a bright color.

Because this is a moderate-chroma rose tone, coverage can vary with the substrate color and the finish you choose. Darker or uneven surfaces may show through more readily, so good prep and enough film build matter for even color. Sheen and surface texture can also change the look, with the color appearing softer on matte or textured items and a little clearer on smooth, glossy parts. MyPerfectColor makes this as a match of the selected Valspar color reference, not the original Valspar paint.

Where can I find the SDS for 1008-8A Gilman Rose by Valspar?

Can I use MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 1008-8A Gilman Rose on plastic?
