MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to DB226-1 Blue Dot is a light, muted blue with a cool cast and a soft gray softness. With an LRV of 66.93 and low chroma, it reads pale and restrained rather than vivid, so the color stays quiet on finished parts.

This color can work well on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, small rail hardware, mailbox parts, picture frames, shelving brackets, and other sprayable pieces where a pale blue finish is needed on metal, plastic, or previously coated surfaces. It is also a practical match for PVC trim pieces, access covers, and fixture details that need to coordinate with an existing painted component.

Because this is a light color, the substrate can influence the final look more than it would with a deeper shade. Darker plastics, patched spots, or uneven primer may need additional coverage for an even result, and gloss or texture differences can make the blue read slightly lighter, darker, or grayer after spraying. Careful surface prep and steady film build help keep the color consistent across parts.

MyPerfectColor supplies its own paint matched to the selected brand color reference; it is not the original Dutch Boy product. If the part will sit beside an existing painted surface, finish and aging differences can still affect the final read.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dutch Boy™ DB226-1 Blue Dot *

Can MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Dutch Boy DB226-1 Blue Dot be used on plastic parts?

Yes, it can be used on many plastics, but plastic types vary a lot. For the safest result, test the paint on the actual part or on a hidden area first.

If the plastic is slick, flexible, or otherwise hard to bond to, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel to improve adhesion before applying the match of DB226-1 Blue Dot.

How will finish affect the look of Dutch Boy DB226-1 Blue Dot after it is painted?

Finish changes how much light the coating reflects, so the same match of DB226-1 Blue Dot can look different after it is applied. A glossier finish usually reflects more light, while a flatter finish reflects less.

The color reference tells you the target color, but not how the final item will look on a specific surface. Substrate texture, sheen, and film build can all change the visual result even when the color match is correct.

What spray application steps help MyPerfectColor DB226-1 Blue Dot look even on the finished item?

Use light, even coats and keep your passes consistent so the color builds gradually. Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy look as the film builds.

Overlap each pass the same way across the part, and follow the product directions for dry time between coats. This is especially important on small parts, curved items, and surfaces where a match of DB226-1 Blue Dot needs to look uniform from edge to edge.

Where can I find the SDS for Dutch Boy DB226-1 Blue Dot in MyPerfectColor paint?

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the Dutch Boy DB226-1 Blue Dot name alone. Check the Safety Data Sheets for the exact paint format you plan to order.

If you need the SDS before purchase, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page and verify that it matches the product type you are ordering, such as spray paint or another format.
