Match of Dulux™ Silver Quill *

For Dulux Silver Quill 44971, start by cleaning the item so dust, oils, and loose residue do not interfere with adhesion. Degrease when needed, then lightly scuff the surface only where that is appropriate for the substrate and the existing coating. Mask off areas you do not want painted, and test the MyPerfectColor match on the actual item before painting a larger area.

This is especially useful on small parts, fixtures, vents, hardware, or removable pieces where surface condition can affect how a match of Silver Quill reads after application.

Before ordering a custom match of Dulux Silver Quill 44971, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need. Those details matter because the same color reference can behave differently depending on format and finish.

Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to verify the reference and order details before checkout. If you are matching removable parts, trim pieces, or other coordinated items, double-check that the product format fits the project.

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the Dulux Silver Quill 44971 color name alone. To find the SDS for the product you are ordering, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm

If you are comparing formats, check the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor product you plan to use, since spray paint and other formats can have different product information.

For Dulux Silver Quill 44971, use light, even coats instead of trying to cover in one heavy pass. Keep a consistent spray distance, overlap each pass evenly, and move steadily so the film builds smoothly.

Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking build, especially on small parts, grilles, hardware, pipes, or fixtures. A few controlled coats usually give better results than one wet coat.

Finish changes how much light the coating reflects, so the same match of Dulux Silver Quill 44971 can look different depending on sheen. A flatter finish will reduce reflection, while a glossier finish will reflect more light and can make the color read differently on the item.

That is a practical ordering decision, not just an appearance preference. If you are coating metal, plastic, wood, or a previously painted part, the finish can also make substrate texture and surface prep more noticeable in the final result.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Dulux Silver Quill in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

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. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. 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.

MyPerfectColor offers custom spray paint matched to Dulux Silver Quill which enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish. It is difficult to gauge spray paint coverage because it depends on how you apply it and the amount of overspray, but generally the 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. This paint sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Dulux Silver Quill, 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.
