Match of Duron™ 5454D Armor Gray *

Start with a clean, sound surface. Remove oil, wax, dust, chalk, and any loose rust or peeling paint, then scuff glossy areas so the coating can bite. If the old coating is failing, patching and priming are usually safer than painting over it as-is.

Gloss, texture, and the condition of the existing coating can change how 5454D Armor Gray reads after it is applied. If the metal or existing finish is unfamiliar, test a small area first before coating the whole part.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the Duron color name alone. Look up the Safety Data Sheet for the exact MyPerfectColor product format you plan to order, such as spray paint or another coating type.

If you need the SDS for a match of 5454D Armor Gray, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the specific product rather than relying on the color name by itself.

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 5454D Armor Gray is practical for switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, and similar small parts when you want a coordinated color on a durable spray finish.

For small or removable items, clean and scuff the surface first, then use light coats so detail does not fill in or run. If the part is plastic, metal, or already painted, a test spray on the back side can help confirm adhesion and appearance before you finish the visible face.

Even when the color match is correct, 5454D Armor Gray can read differently after application because lighting, sheen, surface texture, and nearby colors all affect how the eye sees it. Daylight, indoor lighting, and shadows can each shift the appearance a little.

If the finished item will sit next to an existing painted surface, judge the result on the actual substrate and in the actual location. That is the best way to check whether the applied match of 5454D Armor Gray is acceptable for your project.

Use light, even coats instead of one heavy coat. Keep the can moving, overlap passes slightly, and let each coat flash off before applying the next one. Heavy passes can lead to runs, uneven sheen, or a heavier color build than intended.

For 5454D Armor Gray, a smooth spray application on a properly prepared surface usually gives better color consistency on small parts, trim, and hardware. Follow the product directions for recoat timing and apply a test sample if the substrate is unusual.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new.

If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Duron 5454D Armor Gray, we don't provide any crossover information because this is a subjective determination. Every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, so determining which color is the best approximation is a judgement call.

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