Match of Dulux™ Designer Grey *

Clean the surface first so dirt, dust, wax, and grease do not interfere with adhesion. If the item is glossy or slick, lightly scuff it where appropriate, then mask the areas you do not want painted and let everything dry before spraying.

Because substrate condition affects results, test the match of Dulux Designer Grey 45753 on the actual item before coating the full part. This is especially important on previously painted surfaces, metal, plastic, and other materials that may prep differently.

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used, cleaned, and viewed. Higher gloss finishes usually reflect more light and are easier to wipe down, while lower gloss finishes reduce shine and can be less revealing of surface imperfections.

The same match of Dulux Designer Grey 45753 can look different at each sheen, so finish choice is a practical ordering decision, not just a visual one. If the painted part must sit near an existing coated surface, try to match the sheen as closely as possible.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not the Dulux Designer Grey 45753 color name alone. Use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page to find the SDS for the exact product format you are ordering.

If you are comparing different MyPerfectColor products or formats, check the SDS for that exact item before use. That is the safest way to confirm the correct safety document for your order.

Yes, but plastics vary widely, so adhesion can depend on the exact material and surface condition. MyPerfectColor spray paint is designed to stick well to most plastics, but testing on the actual part is still important before painting the full item.

If the plastic is smooth or difficult to bond to, using the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel can improve adhesion. A test application helps you confirm that the match of Dulux Designer Grey 45753 performs well on your specific plastic surface.

Confirm the target color from a physical swatch or a known existing Dulux reference rather than relying on a screen image alone. Monitor settings, lighting, and viewing angle can change how Dulux Designer Grey 45753 appears.

MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color standard, so the best way to avoid ordering the wrong match is to verify the reference before you place the order. That matters most when the painted item needs to coordinate with an existing Dulux Designer Grey surface.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Dulux Designer 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. 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 Designer Grey 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 Designer 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.
