A match of Duron 8515D Thunder Gray is a dark, cool gray with a muted blue-green cast. With low chroma and an LRV of 15.63, it reads as a subdued slate tone rather than a clean neutral gray, and it can look a little deeper or cooler depending on sheen and substrate.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 8515D Thunder Gray can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, railings, brackets, mailboxes, access panels, PVC trim pieces, frames, shelving supports, and other small parts where a consistent dark gray finish is needed. It is also useful for hardware, fixtures, and removable components that need a controlled architectural look.
Dark, muted colors like this can make surface texture, prep marks, and sheen differences more noticeable, especially in gloss or semi-gloss. Finish, film build, and the underlying substrate can all shift the final read, so uniform prep and even coverage matter more than they do with lighter colors. On lighter bases, additional coats may be needed for full coverage.

Before ordering, confirm the Duron color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen you need, and the quantity. MyPerfectColor is supplying its own custom-matched paint made to match the selected brand color reference, not the original Duron paint.
Custom-made color matches should be chosen carefully because they are not returnable or refundable after production.
Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, porosity, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.
If you are ordering a non-spray format, coverage is usually much higher, but the exact amount still depends on the surface and the finish you want to achieve with a match of 8515D Thunder Gray.
Verify 8515D Thunder Gray from a physical Duron swatch or a known existing painted sample whenever possible. Screen images can shift the appearance of the color, so a monitor alone is not a reliable reference.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Duron 8515D Thunder Gray, 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.
