Match of Dulux™ Mauvelous *

For a better result with a match of Dulux Mauvelous, start by cleaning the surface so it is free of dust, grease, and loose material. Lightly scuff the item if the substrate can be sanded, then mask off any areas that should not be painted. It is also smart to test the paint on the actual surface before coating the full part, especially on plastic, metal, or an item that has already been painted.

MyPerfectColor is supplying paint matched to the selected Dulux color reference, so surface condition and prep still matter. Good prep helps the finished coating hold better and makes the final color read more consistently on the part you are painting.

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used, not just the color name. A match of Dulux Mauvelous can look different in matte, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss because sheen changes reflectivity and how much texture shows through. Higher sheen usually cleans more easily and can be better for hard-working parts, while lower sheen can reduce glare.

If the item will sit beside other painted parts, remember that the same Dulux Mauvelous color reference can read differently across finishes. Pick the sheen that fits the surface and the wear level you expect, then order MyPerfectColor paint matched to that color in the format you need.

Custom-made paint matched to Dulux Mauvelous should be ordered carefully because these matches are made to your selected reference and are not returnable or refundable. Before you buy, confirm the Dulux color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need.

If you are unsure, double-check the intended surface and application before placing the order. That is especially important for custom spray paint or any project where the finished item needs to coordinate with other parts.

Coverage depends on the size of the part, the surface texture, the application method, how well the surface hides underneath, and how many coats you expect to need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paint formats often cover between 400 and 600 square feet, but the exact amount still depends on the job.

For a match of Dulux Mauvelous, plan extra if you are painting a rough surface, a dark substrate, or an item that needs more than one coat for even coverage. It is usually better to allow a little margin than to come up short in the middle of the project.

With custom spray paint matched to Dulux Mauvelous, dry-to-touch time is usually within minutes, but that is not the same as being ready for another coat or full handling. Recoat time is typically one to two hours for spray paint, and full cure is about two weeks.

Do not rush the process if the item will be handled, assembled, or installed soon after painting. Let the coating reach the proper stage before stacking, mounting, or exposing the part to normal use.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Dulux Mauvelous 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 Mauvelous 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 Mauvelous, 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.
