A match of Dutch Boy DB106-1 Victory Red reads as a medium-deep warm red with a clear red-orange lean. It has solid chroma, so it looks rich rather than muted, while the low LRV keeps it on the deeper side instead of bright or candy-like.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this Dutch Boy color reference is well suited to mailboxes, railings, shutters, hardware, switch covers, speaker grilles, small frames, brackets, and equipment trim where a repeatable red is needed on a sprayable part. It can also work on PVC, baskets, and other accessories after proper preparation.

Because this is a deeper, fairly vivid red, coverage can depend on the starting substrate. Lighter or uneven surfaces may need extra coats for full color build, and sheen or texture differences can show more clearly in the final result. Outdoor exposure can also be harder on stronger reds than on quieter neutrals, so prep and film build matter.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dutch Boy™ DB106-1 Victory Red *

What finish should I choose for DB106-1 Victory Red if I am ordering MyPerfectColor custom spray paint?

The finish is a separate choice from DB106-1 Victory Red. More gloss reflects more light, so the same matched color can look different on the finished item, while flatter finishes reduce shine and can help minimize the look of surface flaws. Choose the sheen based on the part you are coating, how much wear it will see, and how easy you want cleanup to be, then order MyPerfectColor paint matched to the Dutch Boy color reference in that finish.

Where can I find the SDS for DB106-1 Victory Red from MyPerfectColor?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not the Dutch Boy color name alone. Check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the product you are ordering and match it to the exact paint format or chemistry on your order. That is the right place to confirm safety information before use.

How should I prep a surface before applying DB106-1 Victory Red MyPerfectColor paint?

Start with a clean, dry surface. Remove grease, wax, dust, and loose material, then lightly scuff if the surface allows it and mask off areas you do not want coated. For the best results, test DB106-1 Victory Red on the actual part first, because metal, plastic, wood, and previously coated surfaces can react differently. Use primer when the substrate calls for it.

How much DB106-1 Victory Red should I order for my project?

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats are needed. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paints typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet. Because DB106-1 Victory Red is a vivid color, plan for the possibility that it may need extra coats for even coverage on dark, rough, or uneven surfaces.

Can DB106-1 Victory Red be used on plastic, and do I need primer?

Plastics vary a lot, so the safest approach is to test DB106-1 Victory Red on the actual part before coating the full item. MyPerfectColor spray paint adheres well to most plastics, but MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on slick or difficult surfaces. If the part is an unknown plastic or has an existing coating, testing and primer are the best ways to reduce risk.
