A match of Dutch Boy DB128-1 Tournament Blue is a medium-dark blue with a cool, slightly violet-leaning cast. The low LRV keeps it deep, while the chroma gives it enough color strength to read clear rather than gray-heavy.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to DB128-1 Tournament Blue can be useful on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailboxes, shelving hardware, and small fixture housings. It also fits removable parts made from metal, plastic, or previously coated surfaces when a darker blue reference needs to be carried onto a small, sprayable component.

Because this is a darker blue with moderate saturation, the final result can be sensitive to sheen, substrate texture, and film build. Light-colored or uneven bases may influence coverage, so careful prep and even coats matter more than with a softer, lower-contrast color. A second coat may be needed on bright or uneven substrates for full, even color.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dutch Boy™ DB128-1 Tournament Blue *

How should I prep a surface before using a match of DB128-1 Tournament Blue from Dutch Boy?

Before applying MyPerfectColor paint matched to DB128-1 Tournament Blue, clean the surface well so dust, grease, wax, and loose coating are removed. If the surface is smooth and the material calls for it, light scuffing can help the coating grip better. Mask areas you do not want painted, and test the match on the actual surface first if the part is textured, aged, or hard to prepare. Good prep helps the color and sheen read more consistently on the finished item.

What spray technique should I use for DB128-1 Tournament Blue to avoid runs or uneven coverage?

Use MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to DB128-1 Tournament Blue in light, even coats rather than one heavy pass. Keep the can moving, overlap each pass slightly, and maintain a steady distance so the color builds evenly. Heavy coats can cause runs, uneven sheen, or color build that looks muddy, especially on edges and detailed parts. If the item is dark or textured, expect that the color may need additional coats for a uniform finish.

Where can I find the SDS for DB128-1 Tournament Blue from Dutch Boy when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product and chemistry, not to the Dutch Boy color name alone. If you need safety information before ordering or using DB128-1 Tournament Blue, review the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page here: MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets. Check the SDS for the specific product format you are buying, since safety details can vary by chemistry.

Can DB128-1 Tournament Blue be sprayed on plastic, and should I use primer first?

MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to DB128-1 Tournament Blue can be used on many plastics, but plastic types vary and adhesion can differ. For better results on difficult or low-energy surfaces, use the MyPerfectColor primer first and test on the actual part before coating the full item. That is especially useful on items like trim pieces, covers, fixtures, or removable parts where adhesion matters more than on a simple flat panel. If the plastic is unfamiliar, a test spray is the safest way to confirm prep and adhesion.

How do I confirm DB128-1 Tournament Blue from Dutch Boy is the right color before I order a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm DB128-1 Tournament Blue from a physical swatch, an original brand color reference, or another known sample of the target color rather than relying on a screen view. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected Dutch Boy color reference, so the most important step is verifying that the reference you choose is the one you want matched. This helps reduce order mistakes when the color will be used on a part, fixture, or surface that needs the correct target color.
