Match of Dulux™ Lake Crest *

Even after you have chosen Dulux Lake Crest 46035, the finished part can read a little differently once it is coated. Lighting, placement, sheen, the base material, and the color of nearby surfaces all affect how the match appears on the final item.

If the part will sit next to an existing painted surface, judge the result on the actual substrate and under the light where it will be used. This matters for items such as trim pieces, vents, grilles, pipes, hardware, shutters, and other small parts where a slight shift can be noticeable.

Coverage depends on the size of the part, surface texture, how well the color hides, the spray method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

For small items like hardware, brackets, speaker grilles, vents, or pipe sections, one can may be enough. For larger items such as railings, shutters, gutters, or downspouts, plan for extra material because overspray and additional coats can increase the amount needed. If you are ordering a non-spray format, other paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon.

For spray paint, dry-to-touch, recoating, and full cure are different stages. MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Dulux Lake Crest 46035 is typically dry to the touch within minutes, ready for recoat in about 1 to 2 hours, and fully cured in about two weeks.

Do not treat dry-to-touch as fully cured. If the part needs to be assembled, handled often, or installed right away, give it more time so the finish is less likely to mark or shift during use.

Clean the surface first so dust, grease, rust, and loose material do not interfere with adhesion. If the metal or old coating is glossy, scuffed areas usually give the new coat a better mechanical grip.

Be aware that the condition of the existing finish can affect the final look. Old gloss, surface texture, wear, and rust spots can all show through or change how MyPerfectColor paint matched to Dulux Lake Crest 46035 appears after application. If the old coating is failing, remove as much loose material as possible before painting.

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so the safest approach is to test on the actual part first. MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Dulux Lake Crest 46035 sticks well to most plastics, but some slick or low-energy plastics need extra prep.

Using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult plastic surfaces. If the part is important or hard to replace, do a small test area before coating the full item so you can confirm adhesion and appearance on that exact material.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Dulux Lake Crest, 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.
