Match of Dulux™ Memento *

For MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Dulux Memento 53081, dry-to-touch, recoat, and full cure are different stages. The spray coat is typically dry to the touch within minutes, can usually be recoated in 1 to 2 hours, and reaches full cure in about two weeks.

If you are coating items like vents, trim pieces, hardware, or other removable parts, plan the job so the part is not put back into service until the coating has had time to harden fully.

No. The same Dulux Memento 53081 color can read differently in matte, satin, or gloss because finish changes how light reflects off the surface and how deep the color appears.

If your project needs to coordinate with an existing painted part, decide on the sheen before ordering MyPerfectColor paint matched to Dulux Memento 53081 so the finished piece and the reference surface are judged under the same finish conditions.

Confirm Dulux Memento 53081 from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference, not from a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor matches to the original Dulux color standard, so the target color should be verified before you place the order.

This is especially important when the paint will be used on a part, fixture, or accessory that needs to coordinate with an existing Dulux Memento 53081 surface.

Custom-made MyPerfectColor orders matched to Dulux Memento 53081 should be chosen carefully, because they are not returnable or refundable. Before ordering, confirm the color reference, product type, sheen, and quantity.

Taking a moment to verify those details is the best way to avoid ending up with a custom match that does not fit the project.

Primer needs for Dulux Memento 53081 depend on the substrate, its condition, and the paint type you are using. For the selected MyPerfectColor product, follow the prep guidance for that surface.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Dulux Memento 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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Dulux Memento, 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.
