Match of Dulux™ 8-088 Alice Blue *

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so test the actual plastic first if you can. MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to 8-088 Alice Blue can work well on many plastics, but adhesion depends on the specific material and surface condition. Cleaning the part and using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can improve adhesion and reduce the risk of the coating failing on difficult plastics.

If the plastic is unknown, flexible, or highly slick, a test piece is the safest way to confirm that the match and adhesion are acceptable before painting the final item.

For metal or an older coated surface, clean off dirt, oil, and contamination first. If there is rust, remove it as fully as possible before painting. If the old finish is glossy or slick, scuffing it helps the new coating grab better.

The condition of the existing coating matters. Loose, peeling, or unstable paint should be addressed before you apply a match of 8-088 Alice Blue. Also keep in mind that gloss, texture, and the condition of the base surface can change how the finished color reads.

Even after you choose a match of 8-088 Alice Blue, the finished appearance can still change based on lighting, sheen, surface texture, and what is next to it. A color that looked right on a swatch can read a little lighter, darker, cooler, or flatter once it is on a real object.

If the item will sit beside an existing painted surface, or if it will be viewed in changing light, a test application on the actual part is the best way to judge the final result before painting the whole project.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 8-088 Alice Blue is typically dry to the touch within minutes. It should generally be recoated in one to two hours, depending on the surface, film build, and conditions.

Dry to the touch is not the same as fully cured. Plan on about two weeks for full cure, and handle the part carefully until it has had time to harden completely.

A typical can of MyPerfectColor spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but actual coverage depends on surface texture, shape, hiding power, and how many coats you need. Rough, porous, or dark surfaces often need more paint than a smooth, light surface.

For a project using 8-088 Alice Blue, it is smart to measure the item, factor in multiple coats, and allow extra if the part is textured or if you want better coverage over an existing finish.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Dulux 8-088 Alice Blue 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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Dulux 8-088 Alice Blue, 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.
