A match of Dutch Boy DB145-1 Fountain Blue is a dark, cool blue-green with a muted teal cast and relatively low light reflectance. It reads more subdued than vivid, with enough blue to stay clear and enough green-gray influence to keep the color from looking bright.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to DB145-1 Fountain Blue is a practical choice for vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, mailbox hardware, rail brackets, shelf supports, PVC fittings, and other small parts that need a darker coordinated finish. It can also work on frames, knobs, display components, and removable fixtures where spray application gives better coverage than brushing around edges and recesses.

Because this is a deep color, surface prep and film build matter. On lighter or uneven substrates, the underlying color may influence the first coats, and a smoother finish can make sheen differences or edge buildup easier to see. Coverage often depends on the base material and the number of light, even passes rather than a single wet coat.

Finish and substrate can shift the reading of the color, especially on glossy metal, molded plastic, or previously coated parts. MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint in this color is intended to reproduce the selected brand color on the item being painted, while still allowing for the normal variation that comes with spray application and surface texture.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dutch Boy™ DB145-1 Fountain Blue *

What should I confirm before ordering DB145-1 Fountain Blue as a MyPerfectColor custom match?

Before you order DB145-1 Fountain Blue, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity. Custom-matched orders are made to your selected reference, so they should be checked carefully before purchase. If you are matching an existing part or surface, also verify that the substrate and finish are right for the project because the same color can read differently on different materials.

Where do I find the SDS for DB145-1 Fountain Blue from MyPerfectColor?

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product and chemistry you order, not to the DB145-1 Fountain Blue color name by itself. Check the Safety Data Sheet for the exact MyPerfectColor paint format you plan to use.

How do I choose a sheen for DB145-1 Fountain Blue matched paint?

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used, how much cleaning it needs, and how much surface reflectivity you can accept. Sheen changes the way DB145-1 Fountain Blue looks on the finished part, and gloss level can make the same matched color appear different on the final surface. If the item has texture or surface variation, a lower sheen may reduce how noticeable that variation is.

How long does DB145-1 Fountain Blue spray paint take to dry, recoat, and handle?

For spray paint matched to DB145-1 Fountain Blue, dry to touch is typically within minutes, recoating is usually 1 to 2 hours, and full cure is about two weeks. Do not treat dry to touch as fully cured, and handle the part carefully until the coating has finished curing.

What prep is needed before spraying DB145-1 Fountain Blue over metal or an existing coating?

Clean the surface first so dirt, grease, and other contamination do not interfere with the coating. Scuff slick or glossy surfaces so the new paint can bond, and remove rust before painting metal. If you are painting over an existing coating, check whether it is peeling, unstable, textured, or heavily aged, because those conditions can affect how DB145-1 Fountain Blue looks after it is sprayed.

How quickly will I receive my paint matched to Dutch Boy DB145-1 Fountain Blue?
