Match of Duron™ DHC 045 Citadel Blue *

Order a MyPerfectColor custom spray paint match to Duron DHC 045 Citadel Blue when the project involves small or awkward parts that are easier to coat with spray than with a brush. This is often practical for trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and other removable parts that need to coordinate with that color.

It is also useful when you need a repeatable color on parts made from different materials, such as metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces, provided the surface is properly prepared first.

Use light, even coats rather than one heavy pass when applying a MyPerfectColor match of Duron DHC 045 Citadel Blue. Keep a consistent spray distance, overlap each pass slightly, and keep the can moving so the paint does not build up in one spot.

Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking finish. If you are coating a new surface or a difficult substrate, test on a small area first and follow the dry and recoat directions on the product you receive.

Confirm Duron DHC 045 Citadel Blue from a physical swatch or another known color reference from the original brand before you order. Screen images can shift the way the color appears, so they are not the best basis for approval.

MyPerfectColor matches to the selected brand color reference, not to an aged painted surface or to what the color looks like on your monitor. If you are matching an existing item, make sure the target color is the one you actually want reproduced.

Before spraying a MyPerfectColor match of Duron DHC 045 Citadel Blue, clean the surface, remove grease or residue, and let it dry fully. If the surface is glossy or otherwise hard to bond to, light scuffing may help where appropriate.

Mask areas that should not be painted, and test the product on the actual surface whenever possible before coating the full item. Good prep helps the color read more evenly and improves adhesion.

Even after you choose the correct Duron DHC 045 Citadel Blue match, the finished look can change based on lighting, sheen, surface texture, and the material underneath the paint. The same color can appear a little different on metal, plastic, wood, or a previously coated part.

If the item will sit next to an existing painted surface, review it in the same lighting and at the same distance you will use in real life. That is the best way to judge the applied result, because nearby surfaces and viewing conditions can change how the color reads.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Duron DHC 045 Citadel Blue 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.

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 DHC 045 Citadel Blue, 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.
