Match of Dutch Boy™ DB602-1 Gentle Magenta *

Yes, a MyPerfectColor match of DB602-1 Gentle Magenta can be used on metal or over an existing coating, but the surface condition matters. Clean off dirt, grease, wax, and loose material, then remove rust and scuff the old coating so the new paint has a sound surface to grip. If the old finish is glossy, textured, chipped, or unevenly aged, the final color can read differently than it would on a fresh, smooth surface.

If the part is important, test the prep and adhesion on a small area first before coating the full item.
