Match of Dulux™ Artifact *

Use light, even coats and keep the can moving at a steady speed. Hold a consistent spray distance, overlap each pass slightly, and avoid heavy wet passes that can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking build on Artifact 45465.

For best results, build coverage gradually instead of trying to cover in one coat. Dry time can change with temperature, humidity, film thickness, and the surface you are painting, so follow the product label before recoating or handling.

Custom-made MyPerfectColor orders matched to Artifact 45465 are made to your selected reference, so they should be chosen carefully before ordering. In general, custom color orders are not returnable or refundable.

Before you place the order, confirm the brand color reference, the product format, the sheen, and the quantity you need. That helps reduce the risk of ordering the wrong match for your project.

Confirm Artifact 45465 from a physical swatch, an existing painted item, or another known brand color reference rather than relying on screen viewing alone. MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard, so the target color should be verified before you order.

If you are matching an existing surface, compare carefully under the lighting where the item will be used. Screen colors can vary, and the appearance of a painted surface can change with sheen, texture, and substrate.

Yes, but plastics and other low-energy surfaces vary a lot, so test on the actual material first. MyPerfectColor spray paint can adhere well to many plastics, but prep matters and some plastics will need different treatment than others.

Using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion before applying Artifact 45465. For unfamiliar plastics, do a test application on a hidden area so you can check adhesion and appearance before coating the full part.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the Artifact 45465 color name by itself. Check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets for the exact product you are ordering.

If you are comparing formats, make sure the SDS matches the specific paint product you plan to use, since spray paint and other product types can have different safety information.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Dulux Artifact 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 Artifact 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 Artifact, 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.
