Match of Dulux™ Afternoon Tea *

With MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Dulux Afternoon Tea, dry-to-touch, recoat, and full cure are different stages. Spray paint is typically dry to touch within minutes, can usually be recoated in 1 to 2 hours, and is fully cured in about two weeks. If the item will be handled, assembled, or installed soon after painting, wait for the coating to be ready for that specific step rather than relying only on dry-to-touch time.

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paint formats often cover about 400 to 600 square feet. For Dulux Afternoon Tea, plan extra material if the surface is rough, uneven, dark, or likely to need more than one coat for even coverage.

Confirm Dulux Afternoon Tea from a physical swatch or another known original-brand color reference before ordering. Screen viewing alone can shift the color enough to cause a wrong order. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected Dulux color reference, so it is best to verify the target color first and then order the match you need.

Yes, but prep is important. Clean the surface, remove contamination, and scuff it so the new coating can bond properly. If there is rust, loose paint, or an unstable old coating, address that first because it can affect adhesion and final appearance. Gloss, texture, and the condition of the existing surface can also change how Dulux Afternoon Tea looks after application.

Finish is a practical coating choice that changes reflectivity and can change how Dulux Afternoon Tea is perceived on the finished item. The same color match can look different in a glossier or flatter finish because the surface reflects light differently. If the item is being installed beside an existing painted surface, finish should be considered along with the color reference so the result is easier to evaluate.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Dulux Afternoon Tea 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.

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 Afternoon Tea 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 Afternoon Tea, 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.
