Match of Dulux™ 255 Lautrec *

Confirm Dulux 255 Lautrec from a physical swatch, fan deck, labeled sample, or another known original brand color reference before you order. Screen images can vary by device, brightness, and calibration, so they are not a reliable approval standard.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected Dulux color reference, not to what the color happens to look like on your screen. If your project depends on an existing painted item or a specific brand target, verify the color reference first so you order the correct match.

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, porosity, spray pattern, and how many coats you need. For MyPerfectColor spray paint, a practical planning figure is about 20 square feet per can with one coat.

If you are painting a larger item or a surface that needs extra buildup for hiding, plan for additional material. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats often cover about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon, but the actual amount can vary with the job. Measure the part you are painting and allow extra for test spray and second coats.

Custom-made color orders should be chosen carefully because they are not returnable or refundable. Before ordering, confirm the Dulux 255 Lautrec reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need.

If you are matching an existing surface, remember that age, gloss, texture, and lighting can change how a color reads after application. Verifying the target reference before purchase is the best way to avoid ordering the wrong product.

Plastics vary widely, so test on the actual item before finishing the full project. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but surface type, existing coatings, and prep can change adhesion.

If adhesion is important, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel to improve bonding and reduce the risk of failure on low-energy or hard-to-stick-to surfaces. Clean the part well, prepare it properly, and test first when the substrate is unfamiliar.

Finish changes how much light the coated surface reflects, so the same match of Dulux 255 Lautrec can look different in different sheens. A lower-sheen finish will usually look less reflective, while a higher-sheen finish will read more reflective on the finished item.

When you order, treat sheen as a practical product choice, not just a style preference. If you are trying to coordinate with an existing painted part, choose the closest practical finish so the final result is more consistent with the surface you are matching.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Dulux 255 Lautrec 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 255 Lautrec 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 255 Lautrec, 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.
