Match of Dunn Edwards™ DET492 Summer Solstice *

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paints typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet, but the exact amount varies by product format and project conditions.

For DET492 Summer Solstice, plan by measuring the item or total area you need to coat, then allow extra if the surface is rough, porous, dark, or likely to need more than one coat. If you are painting a set of parts, order enough to keep the same batch or format for the whole job.

Plastics vary widely, so it is important to test DET492 Summer Solstice on the actual plastic before committing to the full project. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion and reduce the chance of finish problems on difficult surfaces.

Clean the part well, make sure the surface is dry, and test a small area first if the item is important or hard to replace. If the plastic is unusually slick, flexible, or unknown, primer is the safer ordering and prep choice.

The right finish for DET492 Summer Solstice depends on the item, how much wear it will see, and how closely you need the sheen to match the surrounding surface. Finish changes how the matched color reads, so the same color can look different in gloss, satin, or flatter versions.

Choose a finish based on practical needs first. Higher gloss usually reflects more light and is easier to wipe down, while flatter finishes can reduce shine and may hide surface texture better. If you are matching an existing painted part, try to match the sheen as closely as possible so the color and finish work together.

Even when the color match is correct, DET492 Summer Solstice can read differently after application because lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces all affect how it appears. The same matched paint can look different on a wall-mounted item, a removable part, or a surface viewed in bright light versus lower light.

If the item will sit next to an existing painted surface, judge the result after it has fully dried and after it is installed in its final location. That gives you the most realistic view of how the matched color will actually appear in use.

Use light, even coats of DET492 Summer Solstice rather than one heavy pass. Keep a consistent spray distance, overlap each pass slightly, and move at a steady speed so the paint builds evenly across the surface.

Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, and a muddy-looking build, especially on edges and corners. Let each coat dry or flash according to the product directions before applying the next coat. That approach helps the matched color lay down more uniformly on the finished item.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use.

The MyPerfectColor 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat. Keep in mind that it is difficult to gauge spray paint need as the coverage is highly dependent on how it is applied. Learn more about how spray paint works at MyPerfectColor.

While we can provide Dunn Edwards DET492 Summer Solstice in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another brand.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the brand 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.
