Match of Dutch Boy™ B1-4 Sewing Bee *

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, the hiding power of the finish, your application method, and how many coats you need. If you are ordering MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to B1-4 Sewing Bee, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat. For other paint formats, coverage is often about 400 to 600 square feet, but the real result can be lower on rough or porous surfaces.

If you are unsure, measure the item or area first and plan for extra paint if the surface is dark, uneven, or likely to need more than one coat.

The right finish depends on how the item will be used and how you want the coated surface to perform. A glossier finish is usually easier to clean and can be more durable, while a flatter finish can hide small surface imperfections better. The sheen also changes how B1-4 Sewing Bee will look after it is applied, because gloss level affects light reflection and can make the same color read differently on the finished item.

If you are matching hardware, fixtures, trim pieces, or other handled parts, choose the finish that fits the wear and cleanup needs first, then order the color match in that sheen.

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the brand color name alone. For a match of B1-4 Sewing Bee, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page at https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

If you are selecting a specific format such as spray paint or another MyPerfectColor product type, check the SDS for that exact product before use.

Custom-made color matches should be chosen carefully because they are not returnable or refundable. Before ordering a match of B1-4 Sewing Bee, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need.

This matters most when the painted part will sit near other finished pieces or when you only have one chance to get the color and format right.

Good prep improves adhesion and final appearance. Clean the surface, remove grease or residue, lightly scuff it when appropriate, and mask off any areas that should stay unpainted. If you are coating plastic, metal, wood, or a previously painted item, the prep step matters because the same color can behave differently on each substrate.

It is also a good idea to test the match of B1-4 Sewing Bee on the actual surface before coating the full item, especially on unfamiliar materials or on parts that will be highly visible.

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

While we can provide Dutch Boy B1-4 Sewing Bee 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.
