Match of Dulux™ 7C Smokey *

Confirm Dulux 7C Smokey from a physical swatch, a known sample, or another trusted brand reference before you order. Screen colors can shift, so MyPerfectColor should be matched to the original Dulux color reference, not to what the color looks like on a monitor. If you are trying to coordinate with an existing painted surface, keep in mind that age, sheen, and wear can make the old surface look different from a fresh match of 7C Smokey.

Coverage depends on the size of the part, surface texture, how much the material absorbs, the application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of MyPerfectColor spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet, but your actual usage can be higher or lower based on the surface and prep.

Yes, but plastics vary widely, so test on the actual material first. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but difficult or low-energy plastics may need better prep or a primer to improve adhesion. If the part is important, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel before coating it with a match of Dulux 7C Smokey.

Dry time has three different stages. Spray paint is usually dry to the touch within minutes, can typically be recoated in one to two hours, and reaches full cure in about two weeks. Do not assume a piece is ready for heavy handling just because the surface feels dry.

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used, how durable it needs to be, and how much sheen you want on the finished item. The sheen changes how a match of Dulux 7C Smokey will look after application, so the same color can read differently in flat, satin, or gloss. If the item will be handled often or cleaned regularly, a more durable finish may be the better ordering choice than a flatter one.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Dulux 7C Smokey in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

It is difficult to gauge spray paint coverage because it depends on how you apply it and the amount of overspray, but generally the 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Dulux 7C Smokey, we don't provide any crossover information because this is a subjective determination. Every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, so determining which color is the best approximation is a judgement call.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Related Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the company 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.
