A match of Dunn Edwards DET485 Antiquarian Gold reads as a warm, medium-depth golden brown with an earthy orange undertone. It is not a bright yellow gold; the color sits closer to a muted ochre-brown with enough chroma to look distinct without becoming vivid.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on parts and accessories where this warm, earthy character makes sense: metal brackets, railings, shelf supports, switch covers, vent grilles, speaker grilles, mailbox hardware, picture frames, lamp parts, cabinet pulls, and decorative baskets. It can also work on PVC trim pieces, small fixtures, and other removable components that need to coordinate with a known color reference.

Because this is a medium-value, moderately chromatic color, finish and substrate can change how earthy or golden it appears. On smooth, well-prepared surfaces it should read more even; on textured or porous parts, the undertone may shift more noticeably. Like most midtone colors, the final result can also look deeper with higher film build or a glossier finish, while lower gloss tends to mute the warm undertone.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dunn Edwards™ DET485 Antiquarian Gold *

How much DET485 Antiquarian Gold do I need for my project, and what affects coverage?

Coverage for DET485 Antiquarian Gold depends on the surface size, texture, prep, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet, depending on the product and the job.

If the surface is porous, rough, dark, or uneven, plan for more material and possibly extra coats. For trim pieces, hardware, vents, or other small parts, it is usually better to order a little extra than to run short before the project is finished.

Where do I find the SDS for DET485 Antiquarian Gold?

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the DET485 Antiquarian Gold color name alone. To review the SDS, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm

If you are ordering DET485 Antiquarian Gold in a different format, check the SDS for that specific product type because the safety information can vary by chemistry.

Can I use DET485 Antiquarian Gold in spray paint for switch covers, vents, or hardware?

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to DET485 Antiquarian Gold is a practical choice for small parts like switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, and similar items where a spray finish is easier to apply than brushing.

For the best result, clean and prep the part for its substrate, and make sure the finish and product type fit the material you are painting. Spray application is often a good way to coat removable parts that need a repeatable match of DET485 Antiquarian Gold.

What should I confirm before ordering DET485 Antiquarian Gold as a custom-made match?

Before ordering DET485 Antiquarian Gold, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity. MyPerfectColor is making its own paint matched to the selected Dunn Edwards color reference, so it is important to order the right format for your project.

Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so the safest approach is to verify the reference and product details first. This matters most when the finish, surface, or application method could affect how the final result looks or performs.

How do I choose the right sheen for DET485 Antiquarian Gold?

The right sheen for DET485 Antiquarian Gold depends on how the item will be used and how much reflectivity you want. Lower sheens usually reduce glare and can be more forgiving on surface irregularities, while higher sheens reflect more light and are often easier to clean.

The sheen does not change the fact that you are ordering a match of DET485 Antiquarian Gold, but it does change how the color reads on the finished item. If the part will be handled often, exposed to wear, or installed where cleaning matters, choose the sheen that fits that use case before ordering.
