Match of Dulux™ Old Rose *

Yes. MyPerfectColor can make a custom spray paint match of Dulux Old Rose 52871 for items like baskets, frames, shelving, accessories, and other small projects where spray application is practical.

For the best result, prepare the item for the material you are painting and use the finish that fits the project. The color reference tells MyPerfectColor what to match, but the final result still depends on the surface, prep, and number of coats.

Plastics vary a lot, so the safest approach is to test on the actual part first. MyPerfectColor spray paint can adhere well to many plastics, but some low-energy or flexible plastics may need extra prep or primer.

Clean the surface, follow any prep steps that fit the material, and use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel if you want to improve adhesion. A test spray on the exact plastic is the best way to confirm compatibility before painting the full item.

The color reference stays the same, but the finished look can change when the sheen changes. Matte, satin, semi-gloss, and gloss all reflect light differently, so Dulux Old Rose 52871 can read a little differently after application even when the match is correct.

If appearance consistency matters, choose the sheen based on the item, its use, and the finish you want on the final surface. Finish choice is part of how the color will look in real use, not just a cosmetic detail.

A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but actual coverage depends on the size of the item, surface texture, hiding power, spray method, and how many coats are needed.

For baskets, frames, hardware, or multiple small parts, add up the total painted area and plan for extra paint if the surface is porous, textured, or a lighter or darker base will show through. If you are unsure, it is safer to allow more material than the bare minimum.

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used, how much cleaning it needs, and how much reflectivity you want. Higher gloss is easier to wipe and reflects more light, while lower gloss reduces shine and can hide minor surface flaws better.

Because finish changes how Dulux Old Rose 52871 appears on the part, pick the sheen that fits the object and the setting rather than treating sheen as an afterthought. If you are matching multiple pieces, keep the sheen consistent across them.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Dulux Old Rose 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.

MyPerfectColor offers custom spray paint matched to Dulux Old Rose which enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish. 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.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. This paint sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Dulux Old Rose, 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.
