Match of Duron™ DCR073 Garden Lake *

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product made to match DCR073 Garden Lake, not to the color name alone. For this color, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm. If you are ordering a different MyPerfectColor format or chemistry, review the SDS for the exact product you plan to use.

For a MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to DCR073 Garden Lake, start by cleaning off dirt, grease, and loose residue, then let the surface dry fully. Light scuffing can help on suitable surfaces, especially on slick plastic or existing coatings, but test first on the actual item so you do not damage it.

Mask off areas you do not want coated and make a small test application before doing the full part. That matters for real projects like PVC pipe, vents, switch covers, railings, mailboxes, brackets, and other small fixtures where spray paint is practical and the surface can vary.

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used and how much durability or cleanup you need. A glossier finish reflects more light and can make DCR073 Garden Lake read differently than a flatter finish, so sheen is part of the final look, not just a preference.

If you are coating a part that needs to coordinate with an existing painted surface, try to match the sheen of the item or nearby surface as closely as possible. The same DCR073 Garden Lake color can look different in matte, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss even when the color formula is the same.

Not always. Once DCR073 Garden Lake is applied, lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces can change how the matched color reads on the finished item. A part viewed indoors, outdoors, or beside another painted surface may not look exactly the same in every setting.

For the most useful check, look at the finished piece in the lighting where it will actually be used. That is especially important for removable parts, fixtures, and small components like vents, access panels, speaker grilles, or wall plates that sit next to other painted surfaces.

Coverage depends on the size of the item, surface texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of MyPerfectColor custom spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, depending on the product and surface.

For DCR073 Garden Lake, measure the actual painted area first and then add extra if the surface is textured, porous, or likely to need a second coat. That is usually the right way to plan for parts like PVC pipe, shutters, railings, fixtures, or small commercial components.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Duron DCR073 Garden Lake in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Duron DCR073 Garden Lake, we don't provide any crossover information because this is a subjective determination. Every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, so determining which color is the best approximation is a judgement call.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Related Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the company you want.

Keep in mind that this just shows similar colors based on the color values we have stored in our database. It doesn't mean it is the same or give any approximation about how close the color is. You can play around with the Hue, Lightness and Chroma sliders to expand the selection.
