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.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dunn Edwards™ SP 165 Burnt Crimson *
Can SP 165 Burnt Crimson be sprayed on plastic with MyPerfectColor paint, and what prep should I plan for?
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.
How do I confirm SP 165 Burnt Crimson is the correct Dunn Edwards color before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?
Confirm SP 165 Burnt Crimson from a physical swatch or another known, existing Dunn Edwards color reference before you order. Do not rely on a screen view alone, since monitors and lighting can shift how the color looks.
MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so checking the original color target first helps you avoid ordering the wrong match.
Where can I find the SDS for SP 165 Burnt Crimson in MyPerfectColor paint?
The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product and chemistry, not to the color name alone. If you need the Safety Data Sheet for SP 165 Burnt Crimson, look for the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets for the specific product format you plan to order.
If you are comparing formats, make sure you are checking the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor paint product, such as spray paint or another matched format.
Which sheen should I choose for SP 165 Burnt Crimson when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?
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.
What dry time should I expect for SP 165 Burnt Crimson spray paint before recoating or handling?
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.
