Match of Duron™ DHC 049 Portsmouth Blue *

A match of Duron DHC 049 Portsmouth Blue is a color reference, and the MyPerfectColor match can still read differently after it is applied depending on lighting, sheen, texture, and nearby surfaces. Daylight, indoor lighting, and shadows can make the same coated part look lighter, darker, or slightly different in contrast even when the color match is correct.

If the finished item will sit next to an existing painted surface, test the match on the actual material whenever possible. That helps you judge the color in the same conditions the finished piece will live in.

For MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to DHC 049 Portsmouth Blue, dry-to-touch happens within minutes, recoating is typically done in 1 to 2 hours, and full cure takes about two weeks.

Those are different milestones. A part can feel dry enough to handle lightly before it is fully cured, so do not put it into heavy use or tight fitment until the coating has had time to fully harden.

Safety Data Sheets are tied to the MyPerfectColor product or chemistry, not to the DHC 049 Portsmouth Blue color name by itself. For the correct SDS, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the product you are ordering: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

If you are comparing formats, make sure the SDS matches the exact product type you plan to buy, such as spray paint or another MyPerfectColor format.

Primer depends on the surface, its condition, and the paint type you are using. For DHC 049 Portsmouth Blue, a primer is often helpful on bare, glossy, porous, repaired, or difficult substrates because it can improve adhesion and help create a more even base.

The general rule is that primer usually does not hurt and can improve results, but it is not always required. If you are painting a challenging surface, a test application and the right prep steps are the safest way to reduce risk.

Sheen affects both the look and the performance of DHC 049 Portsmouth Blue. A flatter finish usually reduces reflection and can be more forgiving on minor surface flaws, while a glossier finish reflects more light and can make the color read differently on the finished item.

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used and cleaned, not just on color. If durability, wipeability, or a specific visual finish matters for the object you are painting, pick the sheen that fits that application before you place the order.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Duron DHC 049 Portsmouth 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.
