Match of Dulux™ 022 Deep Forest *

Yes, but plastics and other low-energy surfaces can vary a lot, so a test on the actual item is important before you commit to the full project. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 022 Deep Forest by Dulux is made for color-matching projects, but adhesion still depends on the substrate and prep.

For better adhesion on plastic, use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel when the material or project calls for it. Clean the part well, scuff if appropriate for the material, and spray a test area first so you can confirm both adhesion and appearance before painting the whole piece.

Confirm 022 Deep Forest by Dulux from a physical swatch, an existing painted part, or another known color reference from the original brand rather than from a screen alone. Monitor and phone displays can shift the color enough to cause an ordering mistake.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom-matched paint to the selected brand color reference, so the most important step is making sure the target reference is correct before you place the order. If you are matching an existing item, verify that you are using the original brand color standard you want MyPerfectColor to reproduce.

No. The same matched color can read differently in matte, satin, and gloss because the finish changes how light reflects off the surface. With 022 Deep Forest by Dulux, the underlying color match stays the same, but the finished appearance can look lighter, deeper, or more reflective depending on the sheen.

If finish matters to your project, choose the sheen based on the item and the look you need, then expect the perceived color to shift somewhat after application. This is normal and does not mean the color reference was wrong.

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 022 Deep Forest by Dulux is a practical option for small parts like switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, and similar items where spray application gives a smoother result than brushing.

For removable parts, clean them thoroughly, confirm the substrate is compatible, and apply several light coats instead of one heavy coat. This helps the color lay down more evenly and reduces the risk of runs or texture showing through the finish.

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. As a general guide, a typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

For 022 Deep Forest by Dulux, darker or textured surfaces may need additional coats for even coverage, while smooth light-colored parts may need less. If you are painting several small items, count the total painted area and allow extra for test spraying and second coats.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Dulux 022 Deep Forest 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 022 Deep Forest, 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.
