Match of Dunn Edwards™ DE 1043 L1 Mushroom *

Yes. MyPerfectColor can make a match of DE 1043 L1 Mushroom in a finish that fits the item you are painting, but the finish you choose affects more than appearance. Lower-gloss finishes usually hide surface texture better and are easier to clean, while higher-gloss finishes reflect more light and can make the matched color read differently on the finished part. Choose the finish based on how the item will be used, cleaned, and viewed.

Plastics vary widely, so the safest approach is to test DE 1043 L1 Mushroom on the actual plastic before coating the full part. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but some low-energy surfaces need better prep or a primer to improve adhesion. If the part is hard to coat, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel before applying the matched topcoat.

Apply DE 1043 L1 Mushroom in light, even coats rather than one heavy pass. Keep the spray moving, use consistent overlap, and hold a steady distance from the surface so the coating builds evenly. Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a dull and muddy-looking finish, especially on smaller parts or detailed surfaces.

Even when MyPerfectColor has made a correct match of DE 1043 L1 Mushroom, the final appearance can shift once it is on the item. Lighting, viewing angle, sheen, the nearby surfaces, and the substrate itself all affect how the color reads. A color that looks right in one place can appear lighter, darker, or slightly different after application, so placement and finish matter when the part will sit next to other painted surfaces.

Coverage depends on the size of the project, surface texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. As a planning guide, a typical can of MyPerfectColor spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, but rough, dark, or porous surfaces can reduce real-world coverage.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Dunn Edwards DE 1043 L1 Mushroom 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 Dunn Edwards DE 1043 L1 Mushroom 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.
