Match of Dutch Boy™ DC157 Maltese Mauve *

Custom-matched orders for Dutch Boy DC157 Maltese Mauve should be confirmed carefully before you buy because MyPerfectColor makes the paint to that color reference, and custom-made color orders are not returnable or refundable.

Before ordering, verify the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format you need, the sheen, and the quantity. That matters most if the paint will be used on a part that must coordinate with an existing surface or if you need a repeatable match for more than one item.

Plastics vary widely, so a test on the actual material is the safest way to confirm how Dutch Boy DC157 Maltese Mauve will perform on your part. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but adhesion can still depend on the specific plastic and its surface condition.

For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer before applying the color coat. That is especially helpful on smooth or low-energy plastic surfaces, where prep can make a big difference in how well the finish holds up.

Before applying a match of Dutch Boy DC157 Maltese Mauve to metal, clean the surface well and remove rust, dust, oil, and other contamination. If the old coating is glossy or slick, scuff it so the new paint has a better surface to grip.

The condition of the existing coating matters. Loose, peeling, or damaged paint should be addressed first, because gloss, texture, and surface wear can all affect how the finished color looks after you spray it.

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Dutch Boy DC157 Maltese Mauve is a practical option for baskets, frames, shelving, decor pieces, hardware, and other small items that are easier to spray than brush.

It is a good fit when the goal is to coordinate a removable or small object to a known color reference. Prep the item for the substrate you are painting so the coating can adhere properly and the color can read consistently on the finished piece.

A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but the real amount you need for Dutch Boy DC157 Maltese Mauve depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, spray method, and how many coats you plan to apply.

If the surface is rough, porous, dark, or oddly shaped, plan for extra paint. If you are ordering another MyPerfectColor format instead of spray paint, coverage is usually much higher, often about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon depending on the product and application conditions.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use.

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