A match of Dunn Edwards DET587 Clematis Blue is a deep, subdued blue with a cool violet undertone. It reads dark rather than bright, with enough grayness to keep the color from feeling vivid or electric. The overall character is shaded and restrained, with the blue side still dominant.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on smaller parts that need a consistent dark blue-violet finish, such as vent covers, speaker grilles, switch plates, brackets, shelf hardware, frames, mailbox parts, and railings. It also works for PVC trim pieces, cabinet pulls, and fixture components when a coordinated spray-applied color is needed on metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated items after proper prep.

Because this is a fairly dark color, surface condition and finish can influence the final read. Gloss or semi-gloss application can make scratches, texture, and substrate differences more noticeable, while flatter finishes tend to soften those effects. Coverage can also vary with the underlying surface, so darker or uneven substrates may take additional coats for a uniform appearance.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dunn Edwards™ DET587 Clematis Blue *

How long does MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to DET587 Clematis Blue take to dry, recoat, and handle?

For MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to DET587 Clematis Blue, dry to touch is typically within minutes, recoat is usually in 1 to 2 hours, and full cure is about two weeks. Those are different steps, so do not treat a dry surface as fully cured.

If you need to stack coats, move the part, or put it back into service, wait for the stage that fits the job. Handling too early can mark the finish even if it feels dry.

Why can DET587 Clematis Blue look different after it is sprayed in a different finish?

Finish changes how much light the coated surface reflects, so the same match of DET587 Clematis Blue can look different in gloss, satin, or flatter sheens. The color target stays the same, but the way your eye reads it changes with reflectivity, texture, and lighting.

If the part will sit next to an existing coated surface, use the sheen that best matches the item itself or test first on the actual substrate. That reduces the risk of a visible mismatch caused by finish rather than color formula.

What surface prep should I do before spraying DET587 Clematis Blue with MyPerfectColor paint?

Before applying MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to DET587 Clematis Blue, clean the surface thoroughly, remove dust, grease, wax, and loose coating, and let it dry completely. Lightly scuff the surface where appropriate so the coating has a better grip.

Mask any areas you do not want painted and test the match on the actual item before coating the full piece. Prep matters because smooth, rough, or previously painted surfaces can affect both adhesion and how DET587 Clematis Blue reads after application.

Can DET587 Clematis Blue be sprayed on plastic, and do I need primer?

Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to DET587 Clematis Blue can be used on many plastic parts, but plastics vary a lot. Test the actual plastic first because some surfaces are harder to coat than others.

MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult or low-energy plastics. For best results, clean the part well, prep it as needed, and spray a small test area before doing the full item.

What finish should I order for DET587 Clematis Blue if I want the right look and performance?

Choose the finish for DET587 Clematis Blue based on how the part will be used. Higher gloss usually gives more reflectivity and is often easier to clean, while flatter finishes reduce glare and can hide surface variation better.

Because sheen changes how the matched color looks on the finished item, order the finish you plan to keep on the part rather than treating sheen as an afterthought. If the item needs to match an existing coated surface, try to match that surface's finish as closely as possible.
