Match of Dulux™ 195 Soft Plum *

Finish changes how the same MyPerfectColor match of Dulux 195 Soft Plum looks on the finished item because sheen changes reflectivity. A flatter finish will usually look less reflective, while satin or gloss will reflect more light and can make the color read a little different on the surface.

If you are coating a full part or fixture, choose the finish that fits the project and use it consistently. If you are matching an existing painted piece, the color code alone does not define sheen, so the finish matters as much as the color reference.

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. For MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Dulux 195 Soft Plum, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, depending on the product and surface.

If the surface is rough, porous, dark, or uneven, plan for extra material because coverage can drop and more than one coat may be needed for even results.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Dulux 195 Soft Plum is useful when the item is small, awkward, or easier to coat by spraying than by brushing. Common examples include trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and other removable parts that need to coordinate with a known paint color.

It is also a practical choice for items such as grilles, brackets, covers, mailboxes, shutters, or similar parts where a spray application gives better access and more even coverage than a brush.

For MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Dulux 195 Soft Plum, dry to touch, recoat time, and full cure are different stages. Spray paint is typically dry to touch within minutes, should be recoated in one to two hours, and is fully cured in about two weeks.

Do not assume a dry surface is fully cured. If the item will be handled, installed, or stacked, give it enough time for the coating to harden before putting it into service.

Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Dulux 195 Soft Plum can be used on many plastics, but plastics vary a lot and the surface can affect adhesion. Testing on the actual material is important before finishing the full part.

If you want better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel before painting. That is especially helpful when the plastic is difficult to coat or when you want to reduce the risk of poor bonding on the test area.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Dulux 195 Soft Plum, 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.
