Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application

A match of Dunn Edwards DE6371 Black Jack reads as a dark charcoal gray with very low chroma and a subtle warm, slightly earthy undertone. It is subdued rather than vivid, and the finish you choose can make it read a little deeper or a little softer.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color is well suited to small parts and accessories that need a dark neutral finish: HVAC vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailbox components, shelving hardware, frames, shutters, PVC trim pieces, and metal fixtures. It also works for removable display parts, equipment covers, and maker projects where a restrained dark gray is easier to apply evenly than a brush finish.

Because this is a dark, low-chroma color, surface preparation and film build matter. Gloss and satin finishes can make texture, seams, and substrate differences more noticeable, while flatter finishes tend to soften those effects. On rough, porous, or uneven surfaces, the color may read a little lighter and warmer than it does on smooth metal or plastic, and thin coverage can leave lighter breaks that are easier to see.

MyPerfectColor supplies its own paint matched to the selected Dunn-Edwards color reference, not the original brand product. Finish, substrate, and spray application can change the final appearance, so the color may read differently across surfaces.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dunn Edwards™ DE6371 Black Jack *

Can DE6371 Black Jack be used on plastic parts, and should I use a primer?

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to DE6371 Black Jack can work on many plastic parts, but plastics vary a lot. Test it on the actual item first, because the surface chemistry can change how well the coating sticks.

If you want better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel before topcoating. This is especially important on molded parts, covers, housings, and other plastics where adhesion is harder to predict.

Can I return or exchange a custom match of DE6371 Black Jack if it is not what I expected?

Custom-made color matches of DE6371 Black Jack are not returnable or refundable, so confirm the color reference, product type, sheen, and quantity before ordering.

This matters because MyPerfectColor is making a match to the selected brand color reference, and once the order is made to your chosen options, it cannot be treated like an off-the-shelf paint purchase.

How do I choose a sheen for DE6371 Black Jack when ordering MyPerfectColor paint?

Pick the sheen based on how the item will be used, how much cleanup it needs, and how much reflectivity you want. Higher gloss sheens are usually easier to wipe down and can feel more durable, while lower sheens reduce reflection.

Keep in mind that sheen changes how DE6371 Black Jack looks on the finished item. The same color match can appear different in gloss, satin, or matte because light reflects off each finish differently.

How should I confirm DE6371 Black Jack before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm DE6371 Black Jack from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference from Dunn Edwards, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color standard, so the target color should be verified before you place the order.

If you are matching an existing painted surface, remember that age, gloss, and texture can change how the old surface looks. Verifying the reference first reduces the chance of ordering the wrong match.

What prep does DE6371 Black Jack need on metal or over an existing coating?

For metal or an existing coating, clean the surface thoroughly, remove rust or loose material, and scuff the area so the new coating has something to bond to. If the old finish is contaminated or failing, fix that first before applying a match of DE6371 Black Jack.

The condition of the old coating matters because gloss, texture, and surface wear can affect the final appearance even when the color match itself is correct. If the substrate is uncertain, test a small area before coating the full part.
