Match of Dulux™ Mission Mauve *

MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint made to match Dulux Mission Mauve can stick well to many plastics, but plastic types vary a lot, so the safest approach is to test the actual part first. For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel before topcoating.

If the plastic is very smooth, flexible, or low-energy, prep matters even more, and a test on the real material can help you avoid ordering the wrong setup.

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. If you are ordering Mission Mauve in spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paints typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet.

If the surface is rough, dark, or uneven, plan for extra material so you do not run short before the project is finished.

The finish is a practical ordering choice because sheen changes how Mission Mauve reads after it is applied. Higher gloss usually gives more reflectivity and is easier to wipe clean, while flatter finishes reduce reflection but can show surface texture differently.

Choose the sheen that fits the item's use and the look of the surrounding parts, since the same color match can appear different in gloss, satin, or matte.

Before painting metal with a match of Mission Mauve, clean off dirt, oil, wax, and loose material, then scuff any glossy or sound existing coating so the new paint can bond better. Remove rust and any failing coating before you paint.

The condition of the old finish, including its gloss and texture, can affect how Mission Mauve looks after it dries, so a test on the actual metal is a good idea when the result needs to be precise.

Even when you order the correct Mission Mauve match, the finished item can read differently after application because lighting, placement, sheen, texture, and nearby surfaces all affect appearance. Daylight, indoor lighting, and viewing angle can each change how the color is perceived.

If the part will sit next to an existing painted surface, it is smart to view the applied color on the same material in the installed lighting before you commit to the full project.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Dulux Mission Mauve 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 Mission Mauve 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 Mission Mauve, 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.
