Match of Dulux™ Southern Pine *

Good prep is the best way to improve adhesion and color consistency when you order MyPerfectColor paint matched to Dulux Southern Pine 45001. Clean the surface, remove grease or wax, and scuff lightly if the material allows it. Mask off nearby areas, then test the coating on the actual substrate before you paint a larger area. This is especially helpful on plastic, metal, or previously coated parts.

The sheen changes how the matched Southern Pine color reads on the finished item. A lower-gloss finish usually hides texture and small surface imperfections better, while a higher-gloss finish reflects more light and can be easier to wipe clean. Pick the sheen that fits the object you are painting and the look of any nearby parts you need to coordinate with.

For MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Dulux Southern Pine 45001, plan on about 20 square feet per can for one coat as a practical starting point. Actual coverage depends on surface size, texture, hiding power, spray overlap, and how many coats you need. If the part is rough, porous, or a darker color underneath, order extra so you do not run short mid-project. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover much more, often about 400 to 600 square feet.

Use light, even passes with steady overlap and keep the can moving so the finish does not build too heavy in one spot. Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking color build. This matters on small parts like vents, speaker grilles, PVC pipe, hardware, and fixtures. A few thin coats are usually safer than one wet coat.

Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Dulux Southern Pine 45001 sticks well to most plastics, but plastics vary widely, so testing on the actual material is important. Clean the part thoroughly, then use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel if you want to improve adhesion. That is the safest approach for plastic covers, fixtures, and removable parts where you want the finish to hold up.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Dulux Southern Pine 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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Dulux Southern Pine, 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.
