A match of Dutch Boy E22-2 Barcelona Blue is a medium-depth blue with a cool bias and a muted, slightly gray cast. The color reads more restrained than vivid, with enough depth to register clearly on small parts, trim pieces, and finished hardware.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, switch plates, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailbox parts, shelving supports, cabinet hardware, and other sprayable metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated pieces. It also works for removable items such as access panels, camera housings, and signage components when a consistent blue match is needed on a part rather than an entire surface.

Because this is a moderately deep color, the final appearance can shift with substrate, prep, and finish. Darker or uneven bases may show through more easily than on a uniform primed surface, and sheen can make the blue read either slightly richer or slightly flatter. As with most custom-matched spray finishes, applying even coats helps the color settle evenly and reduces visual variation from texture or film build.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dutch Boy™ E22-2 Barcelona Blue *

For E22-2 Barcelona Blue, how do I choose the right sheen for my project?

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used and cleaned, not just on the color itself. Lower sheen finishes usually reduce reflectivity and can help hide surface texture, while higher sheen finishes are usually easier to wipe clean and will make E22-2 Barcelona Blue look more reflective on the finished part.

If you are ordering MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to E22-2 Barcelona Blue, make sure the sheen matches the application as well as the color reference, since the same color can read differently in matte, satin, or gloss.

Why can E22-2 Barcelona Blue look different after I apply the match?

Even when the color match is correct, E22-2 Barcelona Blue can read differently after application because of lighting, viewing angle, sheen, surrounding surfaces, and the substrate underneath it. The same matched paint can look slightly different on a flat wall, a curved part, metal, plastic, or a previously coated item.

If the finished piece will sit next to other painted surfaces or in mixed lighting, expect the appearance of E22-2 Barcelona Blue to be influenced by those conditions even after the MyPerfectColor match is applied.

Can I return a custom order of E22-2 Barcelona Blue if I choose the wrong product type or sheen?

Custom-made color orders for E22-2 Barcelona Blue should be confirmed carefully before purchase because they are made to your selected color reference and are not returnable or refundable.

Before ordering, verify the exact MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, the quantity, and that E22-2 Barcelona Blue is the correct color reference for your project. That is the best way to avoid ordering the wrong custom item.

Can E22-2 Barcelona Blue be used on plastic, and what prep should I do first?

Yes, E22-2 Barcelona Blue can be used on many plastic items, but plastics vary widely, so preparation matters. Clean the surface well, follow the prep steps that fit the specific plastic, and test on the actual material before painting the full part.

MyPerfectColor spray paint is made to adhere well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel can improve adhesion on difficult plastic surfaces. For a plastic part, a small test is the safest way to confirm how E22-2 Barcelona Blue will perform on that exact substrate.

Where do I find the SDS for E22-2 Barcelona Blue?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product chemistry, not to the E22-2 Barcelona Blue color name alone. You should look up the Safety Data Sheet for the exact MyPerfectColor product you plan to order, such as the custom spray paint or another format.

If you need the SDS before ordering, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page and check the sheet for the specific product, not just the color reference.
