Match of Dulux™ 272 Puffin *

Before ordering or painting, clean the metal, remove grease and contamination, and scuff any glossy or sound existing coating so the new layer can bond. If you see rust, loose paint, or a failing finish, remove those problems first. Keep in mind that Dulux 272 Puffin matched by MyPerfectColor is a color match to the selected brand color reference, so the final look can still shift if the old coating has different gloss, texture, or wear.

Use it when you need a custom-matched finish on metal parts, hardware, rails, fixtures, or other coated items, but expect the substrate condition to affect the result.

Use light, even coats with steady overlap and keep the spray distance consistent. Heavy passes can cause runs, rough texture, or a darker and glossier build in some areas. For a better result, build coverage gradually instead of trying to cover in one wet coat. This is especially important when you are spraying MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Dulux 272 Puffin on trim pieces, vents, grilles, small fixtures, or other parts where an even finish matters.

Follow the drying and recoat directions for the product you ordered and test your technique on a sample piece if the part is visible or hard to redo.

Plastic can be painted, but results depend on the specific material. Clean it well, lightly scuff if the surface allows it, and test on the actual part before doing the full job. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult or low-energy surfaces.

If the plastic is a cover, grille, trim piece, or removable accessory, a test panel is the safest way to confirm that Dulux 272 Puffin matches and bonds the way you need.

Confirm Dulux 272 Puffin from a physical swatch or another known real-world reference from the original brand, not from a screen alone. Screen colors can shift with display settings and lighting. MyPerfectColor matches the selected brand color standard, so the safest purchase decision is to verify the target color before you place the order.

This matters most when the painted item will sit next to an existing surface, because even a correct match can look different if the old surface has aged, faded, or changed sheen.

Coverage depends on the size of the part, the texture of the surface, how much hiding is needed, your application method, and how many coats you plan to apply. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but rough or porous surfaces can use more.

For larger jobs, measure the total area and plan for extra material if you expect more than one coat. MyPerfectColor offers Dulux 272 Puffin as a custom match in spray paint and other formats, so choose the format based on the object and the size of the project.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Dulux 272 Puffin 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 272 Puffin, 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.
