Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application

A match of Dunn Edwards DET443 Red Maple Leaf reads as a deep, muted red with warm brown and rose undertones. With its lower chroma and mid-dark depth, it looks earthy rather than bright and carries a subdued, slightly worn-in character.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailbox parts, shelving ends, frames, hardware, and other small pieces where a warm red-brown needs to be repeated across different parts. It also works well for trim details, decorative metalwork, and removable accessories that need a coordinated finish on wood, metal, plastic, or previously coated surfaces after proper preparation.

Because this is not a vivid color, it usually behaves more like a muted mid-dark red than a bright accent tone. Finish, film build, and substrate texture can shift how brown or how red it appears, and darker or uneven bases may show through more readily if coverage is thin. On glossy or smooth parts, surface condition and sheen differences can be more noticeable, so even prep and consistent coats matter.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dunn Edwards™ DET443 Red Maple Leaf *

Can I apply DET443 Red Maple Leaf over metal or an old coating, and what prep matters most?

Yes, MyPerfectColor custom paint matched to DET443 Red Maple Leaf can be used on metal or over an existing coating, but the surface condition matters. Clean off dirt, grease, wax, and any loose contamination first. If there is rust, loose paint, or failing coating, remove it before painting.

For glossy or very smooth surfaces, scuff sanding helps the new coating grab better. If the old finish is intact but aged, remember that gloss, texture, and surface wear can change how the finished color reads. A test area is a good idea when the item will sit next to other coated parts.

Where can I find the SDS for DET443 Red Maple Leaf from MyPerfectColor?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product or coating chemistry, not to the DET443 Red Maple Leaf color name by itself. To get the correct sheet, look up the SDS for the specific MyPerfectColor paint format you are ordering.

MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets are available on the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page. Use the sheet that matches the actual product type you are buying, such as spray paint or another format.

Before I order DET443 Red Maple Leaf, what should I confirm since it is a custom-made MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm the exact brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity before you place the order for DET443 Red Maple Leaf. MyPerfectColor is making its own paint matched to the selected brand color reference, not selling the original brand's paint.

Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so ordering carefully is important. If the part needs spray application, make sure you choose the spray format that fits the project before checkout.

Will DET443 Red Maple Leaf look the same after I apply the MyPerfectColor match?

Not always. Even after you choose DET443 Red Maple Leaf as the target color, the finished appearance can change with lighting, viewing angle, sheen, texture, and nearby surfaces. A color that looks right on a swatch can read differently once it is on the actual item.

This matters most when the painted part will sit next to an existing coated surface or under changing light. If appearance is critical, evaluate the finished item in the same conditions where it will be used.

What spray tips help DET443 Red Maple Leaf cover more evenly in MyPerfectColor spray paint?

Use light, even coats instead of one heavy pass. Keep a steady spray distance, overlap each pass slightly, and keep the can moving so the coating does not puddle or run. This helps DET443 Red Maple Leaf lay down more evenly and reduces the chance of uneven sheen or texture.

Let each coat dry according to the product directions before adding the next one. If you are spraying a small part, fixture, or removable component, a few thin coats usually give better control than trying to cover everything at once.
