Match of Dutch Boy™ 102-3DB Tea Party *

For MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 102-3DB Tea Party, dry-to-touch is typically within minutes. Recoating is generally done in 1 to 2 hours, but handling and full cure are not the same as dry-to-touch.

If the part needs to be put back into service, plan for full cure to take about two weeks. Drying time can vary with film thickness, temperature, humidity, and the surface being painted.

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats are needed. For MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 102-3DB Tea Party, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

If you are painting a large part or multiple pieces, plan for extra material so you do not run short after the first coat. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats often cover about 400 to 600 square feet, but coverage still depends on the product and the job.

Choose the sheen for 102-3DB Tea Party based on the item and how it will be used, not just the color name. Sheen affects durability, reflectivity, cleanup, and how the matched color reads on the finished surface.

Higher gloss usually cleans more easily and can hold up better on handled parts, but it also reflects more light and can make the color look different. Lower sheen reduces reflection and may be better when you want the finish to draw less attention to surface texture or application marks.

Before applying MyPerfectColor custom paint matched to 102-3DB Tea Party on metal, clean the surface so it is free of dirt, grease, and other contamination. Scuffing the metal can also help the coating bond more consistently.

If there is rust, corrosion, or a failing old coating, address that first because the condition of the surface can affect both adhesion and the final appearance. The gloss and texture of the existing coating can also influence how the new matched color reads after it is applied.

MyPerfectColor paint matched to 102-3DB Tea Party is made to the selected color reference, but the finished look can still shift with lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces. The same match may read differently under warm light, cool light, indoor light, or outdoor light.

If the painted item will sit next to an existing coated surface, differences in age, gloss, or texture can make the two pieces appear less alike even when the color match is correct. That is normal and should be considered before ordering for a visible installation.
