Match of Dulux™ 9-097 Dark Grey *

Confirm the target from a physical Dulux swatch, a known existing painted sample, or another reliable original brand color reference before you order. Screen images can shift the way 9-097 Dark Grey looks, so the color code by itself is not enough to verify the match.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom match of Dulux 9-097 Dark Grey in its own paint, so the key buying decision is whether your reference is the correct original color standard. If you are matching a part that must coordinate with an existing surface, verify the color reference first, then choose the MyPerfectColor format you need.

Yes, MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Dulux 9-097 Dark Grey can be used on many plastic items, but plastics vary a lot, so a test application on the actual material is important before you commit to the full project.

For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel before painting. This is especially important on difficult or low-energy plastics, where prep and primer choice can affect how well the 9-097 Dark Grey coating bonds and how it wears after application.

For MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Dulux 9-097 Dark Grey, dry-to-touch, recoat time, and full cure are different milestones. In general, it is dry to the touch within minutes, should be recoated in about 1 to 2 hours, and is fully cured in about 2 weeks.

If you are coating a part that will be handled, assembled, or installed soon after painting, wait for the cure time if the item needs maximum durability. Dry to the touch does not mean the finish is fully hardened yet.

Before ordering a custom match of Dulux 9-097 Dark Grey, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen you want, and the quantity you need. Custom-made color orders should be chosen carefully because they are not returnable or refundable.

This is especially important if you are ordering for a specific part, fixture, or replacement piece. Make sure the 9-097 Dark Grey reference is correct before placing the order so you do not end up with a match to the wrong color target.

Finish changes how much light the coating reflects, so the same Dulux 9-097 Dark Grey match can read differently on the finished part depending on the sheen you order. Finish is a practical coating choice, not just a style preference, because it can change how the color appears on the substrate.

If you are matching a visible item such as trim, a fixture, a cover, or hardware, choose the sheen that fits the project before ordering. The color match is made to the 9-097 Dark Grey reference, but the final appearance will still be affected by the finish and the surface it is applied to.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Dulux 9-097 Dark Grey 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.

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 9-097 Dark 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.
