Match of Dutch Boy™ DB251-2 Chilled Celery *

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used and how you want the finished surface to perform. Higher gloss usually gives more reflectivity and can make a match of Dutch Boy DB251-2 Chilled Celery read brighter, while flatter sheens reduce reflection and can hide minor surface marks better. Cleanup and durability also change with sheen, so match the finish to the job instead of picking by color name alone.

Estimate from the actual surface area, texture, and number of coats, not from the color code alone. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet depending on the surface and application. Rough or porous parts, overspray, and extra coats will increase the amount needed, so plan for a little extra if you are coating PVC pipe, vents, hardware, or other detailed parts.

Use light, even coats and keep the can moving so each pass overlaps the last one evenly. Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking build on a match of Dutch Boy DB251-2 Chilled Celery. For slats, grilles, brackets, and other detailed parts, build coverage with several thin coats rather than trying to cover everything in one pass.

Start by cleaning off dust, oils, and grease, then mask off any areas that should not be coated. Lightly scuff smooth or glossy surfaces when appropriate so the coating can grip better, especially on slick plastics or coated metal. Because adhesion can vary by substrate, test MyPerfectColor paint matched to Dutch Boy DB251-2 Chilled Celery on the actual surface before coating the full part.

Lighting, sheen, placement, and nearby surfaces can change how Dutch Boy DB251-2 Chilled Celery reads after it is applied. A correct match of the color reference can still appear different on a finished item than it did on a swatch because fresh paint, aging, and surrounding colors affect perception. If the part will sit next to an existing painted surface, compare it in the same location and lighting and test first on the actual substrate.
