Match of Dulux™ 34C Gothic *

MyPerfectColor can make 34C Gothic as a custom-matched spray paint for many plastic items, but plastics vary a lot in how they accept coating. Before you paint the full part, test the actual plastic surface you plan to use because adhesion and appearance can change from one material to another.

For better adhesion on difficult plastics, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel before applying a match of 34C Gothic. That is especially important on smooth or low-energy surfaces where paint can bead, chip, or hold poorly without proper prep.

Choose the finish for 34C Gothic based on how the item will be used and how much reflectivity you want, not just on color name alone. Sheen affects durability, cleanup, and how the matched color reads on the finished part.

A higher gloss finish will usually look more reflective and can be easier to wipe down, while a lower sheen finish reduces shine. Because 34C Gothic is a matched color, the gloss level can change the way it appears after application, so pick the finish that fits the project before you order.

Apply 34C Gothic in light, even coats rather than one heavy pass. Keep the spray moving, overlap each pass consistently, and hold a steady distance so the color builds evenly without runs or thick spots.

Heavy spraying can cause uneven sheen, drips, or a muddy-looking build, especially on small parts and edges. If you are coating trim pieces, grilles, hardware, or other detailed items, several lighter coats usually give better control for a match of 34C Gothic.

Coverage for 34C Gothic depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. If you are ordering spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

For larger projects or rough surfaces, plan for extra product because more coats may be needed. If you are using another MyPerfectColor format matched to 34C Gothic, coverage is usually much higher and often falls in the 400 to 600 square foot range, but the exact result still depends on the surface and application.

A match of 34C Gothic can still read differently after it is applied because lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces all affect appearance. This matters most when the finished item sits beside an existing painted area or is viewed under strong or changing light.

If you already selected 34C Gothic from a known color reference, the main thing to check is whether the finished item will be judged in the same conditions as the reference. The more the new coating differs in gloss, texture, or location, the more the appearance can shift even when the color match itself is correct.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Dulux 34C Gothic 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 34C Gothic 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 34C Gothic, 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.
