Match of Coronado Paints™ D 31-1 Love Bug *

Confirm D 31-1 Love Bug from a physical swatch, fan deck, or another known original brand reference whenever possible. Screen views can shift with lighting and display settings, so they are not the best way to approve the color.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom-matched paint to the selected Coronado Paints color reference. The code identifies the target color, but it does not define sheen, product type, or how a painted surface will look after preparation and application.

Yes, D 31-1 Love Bug can be ordered in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for many plastic items, but plastics vary a lot. Because of that, testing on the actual material is important before you commit to the full project.

MyPerfectColor spray paint adheres well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion. If the plastic is smooth, flexible, or unusual, do a test piece first so you can confirm bond and finish on the real substrate.

Before applying D 31-1 Love Bug over metal or a previously coated surface, clean the item well, remove contamination, and scuff the surface if needed so the new coating can grip. If there is rust, loose paint, grease, or oxidation, address it before spraying.

On metal and existing coatings, the condition of the old surface can affect adhesion and final appearance. Gloss, texture, and wear can all change how a match of D 31-1 Love Bug reads after application, so a test panel is a good idea when the item is visible or hard to replace.

For D 31-1 Love Bug in spray paint, dry-to-touch is usually measured in minutes, not hours. Recoat timing is typically about 1 to 2 hours, and full curing is about two weeks.

Those are different stages, so do not confuse dry-to-touch with ready-for-full-use. If the part will be handled, installed, or stacked soon after painting, plan around the full cure time so you do not mar the finish.

Coverage for D 31-1 Love Bug depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

If you are coating a rough, dark, or uneven surface, you may need more than one can. For larger projects or parts that need full and even coverage, it is better to plan with some extra material rather than order too little.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Coronado Paints D 31-1 Love Bug, 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.
