Match of Dulux™ Falling Star *

For spray paint matched to Dulux Falling Star, dry-to-touch is typically within minutes, recoating is usually done in 1 to 2 hours, and full cure is about 2 weeks. Those are different milestones, so a piece can feel dry before it is ready for hard use.

If you are coating trim pieces, hardware, vents, or other small parts, give the film enough time before stacking, masking, or reinstalling it.

If you need the SDS for a specific format, make sure you are looking at the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor product you plan to order.

Clean the surface first so dust, grease, and loose contamination do not interfere with adhesion. On metal or a previously painted part, scuffing the surface usually helps the new coating grip better, and any rust, corrosion, or failing old paint should be addressed before you spray.

Also remember that the gloss, texture, and condition of the old coating can affect how Falling Star reads on the finished piece, especially on railings, brackets, fixtures, or hardware.

Often yes, but plastics vary a lot, so test the actual part before committing to the full project. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on challenging substrates.

If you are coating switch covers, grilles, access panels, or other molded parts, a test spray on the real material is the safest way to confirm prep and adhesion before finishing the whole item. The primer page is here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/en/product/995031-Primer-for-Acrylic-Enamel/.

Yes. Finish changes reflectivity, so the same Falling Star color can look different depending on whether the coating is glossier or flatter.

For a matched part, fixture, or accessory, treat finish as a practical ordering choice because it affects how the color reads on the actual surface. If you need the new piece to coordinate with an existing item, keep the finish consistent with the surrounding coating as much as possible.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Dulux Falling Star 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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Dulux Falling Star, 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.
