Match of Dulux™ 246 Dreamy Mauve *

Custom-matched orders for Dulux 246 Dreamy Mauve should be chosen carefully before you buy, because made-to-order color matches are not returnable or refundable. Confirm the exact color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity before placing the order.

If you are matching a specific part or fixture, make sure the item you are painting can be finished with the product you select. A small ordering mistake is much easier to avoid than to correct after the paint is made.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Dulux 246 Dreamy Mauve can be used on many plastic items, but plastics vary a lot and some need special prep or a primer to hold up well. Testing on the actual plastic is the safest way to reduce adhesion risk.

If the part is slick, flexible, or unknown, use the MyPerfectColor primer first to improve adhesion before applying the color coat. That is especially important on difficult plastics or on parts that will be handled often.

For a smoother result, apply Dulux 246 Dreamy Mauve in several light, even coats instead of one heavy coat. Keep the spray moving, overlap each pass, and avoid stopping in one spot, since heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or color build that looks muddy.

Let each coat flash off according to the product directions before adding the next coat. That helps the finish level out and makes the final appearance more consistent on the part you are painting.

The right sheen for Dulux 246 Dreamy Mauve depends on the item you are painting and how much durability, cleanup, and reflectivity you need. The code identifies the color target, but it does not define the sheen or the final look of the finished item.

Keep in mind that higher gloss can make the color look brighter and show surface detail more easily, while lower gloss can reduce reflectivity. Choose the finish that fits the part and the amount of wear it will see, not just the color name.

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Dulux 246 Dreamy Mauve is a practical option for small parts like switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, and similar items where a smooth spray finish is useful.

If possible, remove the part before painting, clean it well, and use the proper prep for the material. Small parts are often the best use case for a matched spray product because it is easier to get even coverage on removable items than on an installed surface.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Dulux 246 Dreamy 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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Dulux 246 Dreamy 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.
