Match of Dulux™ 051 Coolum *

Confirm Dulux 051 Coolum from a physical swatch, fan deck, labeled sample, or an existing painted part from the original brand. A screen image can shift with lighting and display settings, so it should not be the only reference. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so the safest order is based on a real-world sample you have approved.

If you are matching an existing surface, compare against a clean, unweathered area when possible. That helps you avoid ordering a match to aging, dirt, or faded paint instead of Dulux 051 Coolum itself.

Coverage depends on the size of the item, the surface texture, how well the surface hides the color underneath, and how many coats you plan to apply. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, depending on application and surface conditions.

If you are coating rough, porous, dark, or uneven surfaces, plan for extra paint because coverage can drop and additional coats may be needed for even results. For multiple parts or a project with test panels, add a little margin so you do not run short.

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so it is important to test on the actual material before committing to the full project. MyPerfectColor spray paint adheres well to most plastics, but difficult or low-energy plastics may need better prep to improve adhesion.

Clean the part thoroughly, follow any needed scuffing or sanding steps, and use the MyPerfectColor primer for better adhesion when the substrate calls for it. If the plastic is unfamiliar, a small test piece is the safest way to confirm that Dulux 051 Coolum will perform as expected on that exact surface.

Spray paint matched to Dulux 051 Coolum is typically dry to the touch within minutes, ready for a recoat in about 1 to 2 hours, and fully cured in about two weeks. Dry to touch, recoat, and full cure are different stages, so do not treat them as the same milestone.

If the part will be assembled, stacked, or handled heavily, give it more time before putting it into service. For multiple coats, stay within the recoat window and allow the final coat to cure fully before hard use.

Yes. Finish changes how much light reflects from the surface, and that changes how Dulux 051 Coolum reads on the finished item. The color match is the target, but sheen, texture, and the substrate underneath can all affect the final appearance.

If the part will sit next to an existing painted surface, keep in mind that even a correct color match can look different when the sheen or surface texture is not the same. For the most predictable result, choose the finish that fits the item and test on the same material when possible.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Dulux 051 Coolum 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 051 Coolum 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 051 Coolum, 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.
