Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application

A match of Valspar 4006-2C Hematite is a very dark, low-chroma charcoal gray with a cool bias. It reads more muted than black and carries a faint blue-violet undertone, so the color comes across as restrained rather than crisp or bright.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, railings, brackets, mailbox parts, shelf supports, and other small metal or plastic pieces where a dark neutral finish is needed. It also suits hardware, trim pieces, and removable accessories that need to coordinate with an existing painted surface.

Because this is a deep color, surface condition and finish can influence how it reads. On lighter or uneven substrates, more than one coat may be needed for full, even coverage. Smooth preparation and consistent film build help the color stay uniform; sheen changes can make the surface look softer or denser in different lighting.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Valspar™ 4006-2C Hematite *

Where can I find the SDS for 4006-2C Hematite by Valspar?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product chemistry, not to the Valspar color name alone. For 4006-2C Hematite, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the product you plan to order, and confirm the SDS matches the specific format you are buying.

You can review the SDS here: MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets.

Does 4006-2C Hematite by Valspar need primer before painting?

Primer depends on the substrate, its condition, and the paint format you order. A primer usually does not hurt and can improve adhesion, but it is not always required for every project using a match of 4006-2C Hematite.

If you are coating bare metal, plastic, wood, or a surface that is glossy, damaged, or uneven, primer is often worth considering. Check the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product you plan to use.

How much area will a match of 4006-2C Hematite by Valspar cover?

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, application method, hiding power, and how many coats are needed. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paint formats often cover about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon under typical conditions.

If the surface is rough, porous, dark, or high contrast, plan for more material and possibly additional coats. For a match of 4006-2C Hematite, it is better to size the order based on the actual project area and the number of coats you expect to apply.

Will 4006-2C Hematite by Valspar look the same in matte and gloss finishes?

No. The same match of 4006-2C Hematite can look different across finishes because gloss level changes how light reflects from the surface. That can change the apparent depth and how the color reads after it is applied.

If you need the finished item to coordinate closely with another surface, choose the sheen carefully before ordering. Finish is a practical ordering choice, not just a visual preference.

Can I return a custom match of 4006-2C Hematite by Valspar if I order the wrong sheen or quantity?

Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so confirm the Valspar color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity before you place the order for 4006-2C Hematite.

If the project depends on a specific format, such as spray paint or another MyPerfectColor product type, verify that choice up front. Ordering carefully matters because the match is made to your selected reference and specifications.
