Match of Dutch Boy™ DB227-1 Happy Blue *

MyPerfectColor DB227-1 Happy Blue spray paint is typically dry to the touch within minutes, but that is not the same as ready for another coat or for handling.

Plan to recoat in about 1 to 2 hours, and allow about 2 weeks for full cure before heavy handling, stacking, or putting the part back into service. This matters for items like frames, hardware, vents, and other small parts where the finish can be marred if you move them too soon.

Confirm Dutch Boy DB227-1 Happy Blue from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference from the original brand, not from a phone or monitor alone. Screen color can shift with settings and lighting.

MyPerfectColor makes a match to the selected brand color reference, so the most important step is making sure DB227-1 Happy Blue is the exact target you want before you order. The code by itself does not define sheen, product line, or how an older painted surface may have changed over time.

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to DB227-1 Happy Blue is a practical option for items like baskets, frames, shelving, brackets, knobs, hardware, furniture accents, and other small parts that need to coordinate to a known paint color.

This is usually the right format when you are coating a removable object or a detail piece and want a color match of DB227-1 Happy Blue rather than the original Dutch Boy paint product.

Start by cleaning and degreasing the surface, then remove loose material and lightly scuff slick or glossy areas when appropriate. Mask off any areas you do not want coated.

Because adhesion can vary by substrate, test MyPerfectColor DB227-1 Happy Blue on the actual surface first if possible. If the item is slick, glossy, or previously coated, use a suitable primer or prep step for that substrate before applying the color coat.

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

If you are coating a rough, porous, or dark surface with DB227-1 Happy Blue, plan for extra material because hide can change from one substrate to another. For larger areas, other MyPerfectColor formats may be more efficient than spray paint.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Dutch Boy DB227-1 Happy Blue enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish in any color in any sheen. It sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

The MyPerfectColor 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat. Keep in mind that it is difficult to gauge spray paint need as the coverage is highly dependent on how it is applied. Learn more about how spray paint works at MyPerfectColor.

While we can provide Dutch Boy DB227-1 Happy Blue in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another brand.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the brand you want.

Keep in mind that this just shows similar colors based on the color values we have stored in our database. It doesn't mean it is the same or give any approximation about how close the color is. You can play around with the Hue, Lightness and Chroma sliders to expand the selection.
