Match of Dulux™ 468 Orbit *

Finish changes how much light the coating reflects, so the same match of Dulux 468 Orbit can look different in matte, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss. A lower sheen usually reads softer and can hide surface texture better, while a higher sheen reflects more light and can make the color and any surface flaws read more clearly.

If you are painting a part, fixture, trim piece, vent cover, or other removable item, the finish you order is part of the final appearance. For the most predictable result, choose the finish that fits the object you are painting and, when possible, try to match the sheen of any existing painted surface you need to coordinate with.

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used and how much sheen you want in the final coating. Lower-sheen finishes are usually more forgiving on small imperfections, while higher-sheen finishes are easier to wipe down but can make texture and prep marks more visible.

For MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint to Dulux 468 Orbit, the best choice is often the finish that best fits the item itself, not just the color. If you are coating a separate piece such as a grille, bracket, cover plate, or accessory, you can order a finish that works for the application while keeping the color match to 468 Orbit.

Plastic substrates can vary a lot, so test the actual material whenever possible. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but prep still matters and some plastics need more help than others.

For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel before painting. A light test on the real part is the safest way to confirm adhesion and final appearance before you coat the full item.

Coverage depends on the size of the item, the surface texture, how much hiding power is needed, the application method, and how many coats you plan to apply. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet.

If you are painting small parts such as pipe, vents, shutters, brackets, or hardware, the finish quality and the number of coats can affect how far the paint goes. For larger or rougher surfaces, it is safer to plan for more paint than a smooth, simple part would require.

The SDS is tied to the actual MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the Dulux 468 Orbit color name by itself. That means you should use the SDS for the specific MyPerfectColor format you plan to order, such as spray paint or another product type.

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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Dulux 468 Orbit, 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.
