MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to DET413 Folklore is a deep, muted reddish brown with a warm brick-brown cast. It reads low-chroma rather than clear or bright, with enough red in the undertone to keep the color from turning flat or neutral.
This color is often used on spray-painted hardware, railings, brackets, switch plates, vent covers, frames, shelving supports, mailboxes, and other small parts where a darker earthy finish is needed. It can also work on PVC trim pieces, furniture accents, speaker grilles, and fixtures when the goal is to carry the same color reference across metal, plastic, or painted wood.
Because the color is fairly dark, the final read can shift with sheen, film build, and the surface underneath it. Smooth, well-prepared substrates usually show the color more evenly, while rough or patchy surfaces can make the warmth and depth look uneven. On glossy finishes, texture and prep marks are more noticeable, so careful surface preparation matters.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dunn Edwards™ DET413 Folklore *
How do I confirm Dunn Edwards DET413 Folklore before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?
Confirm DET413 Folklore from a physical swatch, a fan deck, or another known original-brand color reference whenever possible. Screen images can shift with lighting and display settings, so they are not reliable enough to approve the color by themselves.
MyPerfectColor is making a custom-matched paint to the selected brand color reference, not selling the original Dunn Edwards paint. That means the target color should be verified before you order so the match is based on the correct reference.
What projects are a good fit for MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Dunn Edwards DET413 Folklore?
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Dunn Edwards DET413 Folklore is useful for small parts and awkward surfaces where brushing is inefficient, such as trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and removable components.
It is also practical when you need a repeatable color match on metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated parts that need to coordinate with an existing DET413 Folklore reference.
Which sheen should I choose for Dunn Edwards DET413 Folklore in MyPerfectColor paint?
Choose sheen based on how the part will be used and how much reflectivity you want on the finished item. Higher gloss is usually easier to wipe down, while flatter finishes can hide surface imperfections better.
Keep in mind that sheen changes how Dunn Edwards DET413 Folklore reads on the final surface. The same color can look different in matte, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss because reflectivity affects the appearance of the match.
How should I apply MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Dunn Edwards DET413 Folklore for the best result?
Use light, even coats instead of heavy passes. Hold the can at a consistent distance, overlap each pass slightly, and keep the spray moving to reduce runs, uneven sheen, and color build-up.
That approach matters with Dunn Edwards DET413 Folklore because spray technique, film thickness, and surface prep can all change how the finished color reads. If you rush the coat, the result can look uneven even when the color match itself is correct.
Can I spray Dunn Edwards DET413 Folklore on plastic, and should I use primer first?
Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Dunn Edwards DET413 Folklore can be used on many plastics, but plastics vary widely. The safest approach is to test on the actual material first, since some plastics need different prep than others.
Using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult substrates and helps reduce the risk of poor bonding or premature wear. For low-energy or unfamiliar plastics, primer and a test panel are the best way to reduce ordering risk before coating the final part.
