Match of Dulux™ 11E Havana *

Plan based on the actual surface area, texture, how much the surface will absorb, the application method, and how many coats you expect to need. A spray paint can typically covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paint formats usually cover about 400 to 600 square feet per coat.

If you are coating a textured, porous, or dark surface with a match of Dulux 11E Havana, allow for extra material because coverage and hiding can vary. For the most reliable order, measure the item or total surface first and add enough for the number of coats you expect to apply.

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used and how much durability or cleanability you need. Higher sheen finishes are usually easier to wipe down and can reflect more light, while lower sheen finishes reduce reflectivity but may be less forgiving on surface flaws.

The sheen also changes how Dulux 11E Havana looks after it is applied. If the color needs to coordinate with an existing surface, the finish choice matters because the same color can read differently in matte, satin, or gloss. Order the sheen that best fits the item you are coating, not just the color reference.

Start with a clean, dry surface. Remove dirt, grease, wax, and loose coating before painting, then scuff lightly if the surface is smooth and the material allows it. Mask off areas you do not want coated and test the match of Dulux 11E Havana on the actual surface when the material, texture, or previous coating could affect the result.

Good prep helps the custom-matched paint bond better and gives you a more even result. This matters on items like vents, hardware, pipe, brackets, fixtures, and other small parts where surface condition can have a noticeable effect on the finished look.

For spray paint, dry-to-touch, recoating, and full cure are different stages. Spray paint is typically dry to touch within minutes, should usually be recoated in about 1 to 2 hours, and is fully cured in about two weeks.

If you are using a match of Dulux 11E Havana on a part that will be handled, assembled, or exposed to wear, wait for the coating to reach the right stage before heavy use. Dry to touch does not mean fully cured.

Confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity before you order. A custom-made color match is made to your selected reference, so choosing the wrong format or finish can lead to a result that does not fit the project.

Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to verify that Dulux 11E Havana is the color target you want before placing the order. If you are matching a part that will sit next to an existing surface, check the reference carefully because aging, sheen, and substrate differences can change how the finished color appears.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Dulux 11E Havana 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 11E Havana, 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.
