Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application

A match of Dunn Edwards DET693 Mayan Chocolate is a muted, medium-depth brown with a warm red-brown cast and a slight yellow undertone. It reads as earthy rather than sharp or vivid, with low chroma that keeps the color subdued instead of bright.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on railings, brackets, switch plates, vent covers, speaker grilles, mailbox parts, shutter hardware, picture frames, shelving, and other small components that need a coordinated brown finish. It also suits PVC trim pieces, fixture parts, and hardware where spray application makes it easier to cover edges, corners, and irregular shapes.

Because this is a muted brown rather than a high-chroma color, it usually behaves more forgivingly than stronger accent colors. Even so, finish, substrate, and film build can change how warm or deep it appears, and textured or uneven surfaces may make the color read a little lighter or less even than a smooth test panel.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dunn Edwards™ DET693 Mayan Chocolate *

Can I apply DET693 Mayan Chocolate to metal or over an existing coating?

Yes, MyPerfectColor paint matched to Dunn Edwards DET693 Mayan Chocolate can be used on metal or over an existing coating when the surface is properly prepared.

Clean off dirt, oil, wax, and chalky residue, remove rust, and scuff any sound existing coating so the new paint can bond. Bare metal and repaired spots usually need primer. The condition of the old coating, along with its gloss and texture, can change how the finished color looks, so a test area is a good idea if the new paint will sit beside an older surface.

Is DET693 Mayan Chocolate a good choice for custom spray paint on switch covers, knobs, vents, or speaker grilles?

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to DET693 Mayan Chocolate is a practical option for small parts and hardware such as switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, and similar items.

Spray paint is useful when you want a smooth, professional finish on removable parts or awkward shapes. Clean and prep the part first, then apply light coats rather than one heavy coat so the color lays down evenly and details do not fill in.

How will the finish affect the look of DET693 Mayan Chocolate after it is painted?

Finish can change how DET693 Mayan Chocolate looks on the finished item because sheen affects reflectivity and how the color is perceived. The same matched color can read differently in a flat, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss coating.

If you are matching other painted parts, choose the sheen as a practical ordering decision, not just a style choice. The color itself is still a match of Dunn Edwards DET693 Mayan Chocolate, but the final appearance will also depend on the coating sheen, the substrate, and the surface texture.

How much DET693 Mayan Chocolate should I order for my project?

Coverage for DET693 Mayan Chocolate depends on the size of the parts, the texture of the surface, the application method, and how many coats are needed. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, depending on the product format.

For planning, total the surface area you want to paint and then allow for more than one coat if the surface is rough, porous, dark, or uneven. Small parts often need less paint than the raw area suggests, while high-detail or textured items can use more.

What should I confirm before ordering DET693 Mayan Chocolate as a custom match?

Before ordering DET693 Mayan Chocolate, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need. MyPerfectColor is supplying its own paint matched to Dunn Edwards DET693 Mayan Chocolate, not the original Dunn Edwards paint.

Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is best to verify the details before checkout. If the item will be installed beside an existing painted surface, also confirm that the substrate and finish choice are appropriate for the project.
