Match of Dutch Boy™ R-11-6 Shalimar *

Coverage depends on the size of the item, surface texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. As a practical guide, one can of spray paint typically covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats often cover about 400 to 600 square feet, but the exact amount still depends on the surface and the film build you need.

If you are coating a textured, porous, or dark surface with a light color like R-11-6 Shalimar, plan for extra material so you can complete the job and keep a little on hand for a second coat or test spray.

Yes. Finish is a coating variable that changes reflectivity, and that changes how the matched color reads on the finished item. A match of Dutch Boy R-11-6 Shalimar can look different in gloss, satin, or flatter finishes because the same color target reflects light differently.

If your goal is to coordinate a part with an existing painted surface, try to keep the finish as close as possible to the surface you are matching. The color reference stays the same, but sheen can make the result look lighter, darker, or more noticeable in use.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry you order, not to the Dutch Boy R-11-6 Shalimar color name alone. That matters because different paint formats can have different safety and handling information.

Check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets for the exact product you plan to buy, such as spray paint or another format. Review the SDS before use so you have the correct handling, storage, and safety details for that specific match of R-11-6 Shalimar.

MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but plastics vary a lot, so it is important to test the actual part before painting a full project. A quick test helps confirm adhesion and lets you see whether the surface needs more prep.

For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer before applying a match of Dutch Boy R-11-6 Shalimar. Clean the part first, and if the plastic is flexible, slick, or unfamiliar, a test panel is the safest way to reduce the risk of poor adhesion.

Start by cleaning the surface so dust, grease, and other contamination do not interfere with adhesion. On metal, remove rust and address any loose material first. On an existing coating, scuff glossy areas so the new paint has a better mechanical bond.

The condition of the old coating matters as much as the color match. Gloss, texture, and failures in the existing surface can all change how a match of Dutch Boy R-11-6 Shalimar looks after application, so stabilize or remove questionable coating before you spray.

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