Match of Dulux™ Medici Grey *

For spray application, expect it to be dry to the touch within minutes, ready for recoating in about one to two hours, and fully cured in about two weeks. Do not treat dry-to-touch as fully cured or ready for heavy handling. If the part will be installed back into service, give the coating enough time to cure so the finish is less likely to mark or scuff.

Start by cleaning the surface and removing dirt, grease, and loose material. Light scuffing can help when the substrate and existing coating allow it, and masking should be used where overspray would matter. Before doing the full piece, test MyPerfectColor paint matched to Dulux Medici Grey (45396) on the actual surface so you can confirm adhesion and appearance on that material.

Yes. Finish changes reflectivity, so the same match of Dulux Medici Grey (45396) can read differently in gloss, satin, or flatter options once it is on the part. The color reference stays the same, but sheen, texture, and the substrate can change how the finished coating appears. If you are trying to coordinate a replacement part with an existing item, finish choice is a practical part of the order.

A typical spray can covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but real coverage depends on surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats are needed. For MyPerfectColor paint matched to Dulux Medici Grey (45396), estimate the paintable area first and then allow extra for coverage on edges, irregular shapes, and any second coat. If the project is larger, other MyPerfectColor formats may be more efficient than spray paint.

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used, how much cleanup it needs, and how much reflectivity you want in the final coating. More reflective finishes can be easier to wipe clean but may show surface flaws more clearly, while flatter finishes reduce reflectivity but can look different on the same Dulux Medici Grey (45396) color reference. If the item needs to coordinate with an existing painted surface, match the finish as closely as practical, not just the color name.

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 Dulux Medici Grey, 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.
