Match of Duron™ 8525D Rock Garden *

Use light, even coats of MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 8525D Rock Garden. Hold the can at a consistent distance, overlap each pass slightly, and keep the spray moving so you do not build up heavy wet spots. Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy looking color build. If the part is small or detailed, it is usually better to apply several thin coats than one thick coat.

If you are matching 8525D Rock Garden on an item with edges, curves, or recesses, start with a mist coat and then add coverage gradually. That approach helps the color lay down more evenly and gives you more control over how the finished item reads.

Plastics vary a lot, so the safest approach is to test MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 8525D Rock Garden on the actual plastic part first. Some plastics accept paint well, while smooth or low energy surfaces may need extra prep to help adhesion.

If you want better bonding on plastic, use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel before the color coat: MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel. Clean the part first, and if the surface is sound and safe to scuff, a light abrasion can also help. A test panel is still the best way to confirm how 8525D Rock Garden will look and hold on your specific plastic.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product and chemistry, not to the 8525D Rock Garden color name by itself. To review the Safety Data Sheet for the MyPerfectColor product line, use this page: MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets.

If you need the SDS for a specific format, check the product details on the actual item you plan to order so you are looking at the right chemistry and packaging.

Before applying MyPerfectColor custom paint matched to 8525D Rock Garden, clean the metal well to remove dirt, grease, and contamination. If there is rust, loose paint, or failing coating, remove it first. A sound old coating can often be scuffed so the new paint has something to grip, but loose, chalky, or peeling material should not be painted over.

Be aware that gloss, texture, and the condition of the existing coating can affect how 8525D Rock Garden looks after it dries. A smooth, intact base usually gives more predictable results than a worn or uneven surface. If the item is important, test a small area first so you can confirm adhesion and appearance before coating the whole part.

Even when you order a match of 8525D Rock Garden, the finished look can shift with lighting, sheen, surface texture, and nearby colors or materials. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint is matched to the selected brand color reference, but the final item can still read a little differently once it is installed or viewed in another location.

If the part will sit near an existing painted surface, it is best to evaluate the result on the actual item in the intended lighting. That is the most practical way to judge whether the match is acceptable for your project, especially when the surface, finish, or surroundings are not the same as the original color reference.

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.

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 Duron 8525D Rock Garden, 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.
