Match of Valspar™ 4009-3 Gotham Gray *

Confirm 4009-3 Gotham Gray from a physical swatch or a known existing Valspar color reference before you order. MyPerfectColor matches the selected brand color reference, so screen viewing alone is not enough to verify the target.

If you are matching a part that is already painted, check whether you want the original color reference or the look of the aged surface. Those are not always the same.

Not always. After 4009-3 Gotham Gray is applied, lighting, sheen, texture, and nearby surfaces can change how the color reads on the finished item.

If the part will sit beside an existing painted surface or be viewed in a specific location, test in that actual setting before committing to the full project. That is the safest way to judge the final appearance of the match.

Use light, even coats and keep the can moving so the paint builds gradually. Overlap each pass slightly and avoid heavy wet coats, since they can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking build.

Hold a consistent distance from the surface and follow the dry-time and recoat directions on the product label. Thin coats usually give a cleaner result than trying to cover in one pass.

A match of Valspar 4009-3 Gotham Gray is a practical choice for custom spray paint when you need a match on small or awkward items such as trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, or accessories. Spray application is often easier than brushing on parts with tight edges or many angles.

It is also useful when you want a repeatable color on removable parts that need to coordinate with a known Valspar color reference.

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so test 4009-3 Gotham Gray on the actual material first. Clean the part well and make sure the surface is prepared for paint before you commit to the full item.

For better adhesion on difficult plastic surfaces, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel. That can help improve how the coating bonds to the substrate.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Valspar 4009-3 Gotham Gray enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish in any color in any sheen. It sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

The MyPerfectColor 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat. Keep in mind that it is difficult to gauge spray paint need as the coverage is highly dependent on how it is applied. Learn more about how spray paint works at MyPerfectColor.
