A match of Dunn Edwards SP 165 Burnt Crimson is a deep, warm red-brown with a muted crimson character. Its low LRV means it reads dark rather than bright, and the brown cast keeps it from looking clean or primary. The color tends to show as subdued depth first, with less visual sparkle than a more saturated red.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be useful on railings, mailbox bodies, gate hardware, vent covers, speaker grilles, shelf brackets, and small furniture accents. It also works for PVC trim pieces, switch plates, frames, and other removable parts where a dark red-brown finish needs to be applied evenly across metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces after proper preparation.
Because this color is dark and moderately muted, surface prep and film build matter. Thin coverage over a lighter substrate may show through until the coating is built up, and gloss or semi-gloss finishes can make texture, seams, and edge repair more noticeable. On exterior parts, the color's depth can still read strongly, but the final appearance will shift with finish and substrate.

Yes, SP 165 Burnt Crimson can be used for plastic projects in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint, but plastics vary a lot, so test on the actual part first. MyPerfectColor spray paint adheres well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion.
For items like PVC pipe, vent covers, switch plates, speaker grilles, or other molded parts, treat the first test piece as your check for adhesion and appearance before painting the full project.

Sheen matters because it affects durability, reflectivity, cleanup, and how SP 165 Burnt Crimson appears on the finished item. The same color match can look different at different gloss levels, even when the formula is correct.
If you are coating a part that needs to sit with other finished pieces, choose the sheen that best fits the project and try to match the existing sheen as closely as possible. That is usually the safest ordering choice when appearance consistency matters.
For SP 165 Burnt Crimson spray paint, expect it to be dry to the touch within minutes, ready for recoat in about 1 to 2 hours, and fully cured in about two weeks.
Dry to touch, recoating, and full cure are different stages. If you are painting small parts, brackets, hardware, or removable fixtures, wait for each coat to set before moving the item, and allow the full cure time before expecting the coating to reach its final durability.
