Match of Dulux™ Carolina Blue *

Primer depends on the substrate, its condition, and the paint type you are using. For a MyPerfectColor match of Dulux Carolina Blue 45614, primer is often worth considering on bare, patched, glossy, uneven, or hard-to-bond surfaces because it can improve adhesion and help the color build more evenly.

It is not always required, so check the prep guidance for the exact MyPerfectColor product you plan to order. If the part is already well coated and in good condition, the product may go on without primer, but primer usually does not hurt the result.

Coverage for Dulux Carolina Blue 45614 depends on the size of the surface, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. For planning, a typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paints often cover about 400 to 600 square feet.

If you are coating a detailed part, fixture, or small removable item, allow extra paint for overspray and for any additional coat needed to fully hide the old color or surface variation. When in doubt, round up rather than ordering too little.

Before you order a custom-made match of Dulux Carolina Blue 45614, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity. Custom color orders are made to your selected reference, so it is important to choose carefully.

Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so the safest approach is to verify that Carolina Blue 45614 is the exact color target you want and that the format you select fits the part you plan to paint.

Sheen affects durability, reflectivity, cleanup, and the way a matched color like Dulux Carolina Blue 45614 reads on the finished item. Lower sheen finishes usually reduce glare and can be more forgiving on surface flaws, while higher sheen finishes are more reflective and are often easier to wipe clean.

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used and what finish you need, not just on color name alone. The same Carolina Blue 45614 match can look different in flat, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss because gloss level changes the appearance of the coating.

MyPerfectColor offers custom spray paint matched to Dulux Carolina Blue 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 Carolina Blue, 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.
