Match of Dulux™ Green Tambourine *

Before ordering or painting with MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint for Green Tambourine 53597, make sure the metal is clean, dry, and free of rust, oil, wax, or other contamination. If the surface is already painted, any loose or failing coating should be removed first. Sound glossy coatings usually need a scuff so the new paint can bond better.

The condition of the existing surface matters because gloss, texture, and age can change how the matched color reads on the finished part. If the item will sit next to an older coating, expect some difference risk and test the process on a small area first when possible.

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used, cleaned, and viewed. A higher gloss finish is usually easier to wipe clean and reflects more light, while a lower gloss finish reduces reflection and can be more forgiving on surfaces with small texture differences.

Keep in mind that the same Green Tambourine 53597 color can look different in different sheens. If you are matching a specific part, pick the sheen that best fits the surface and the way the finished item will be seen in use, not just the color name alone.

Confirm Green Tambourine 53597 from a physical Dulux swatch, known chip, or an existing part that was already specified as that color. Do not rely on a screen image alone, because monitors and phone displays can shift the appearance of the color.

MyPerfectColor matches the selected Dulux color reference, not the original Dulux paint product. If you are trying to match an existing painted item, verify that the target is truly Green Tambourine 53597 before you place the order, since aged surfaces can look different from the original standard.

Yes, but plastics vary widely, so testing on the actual material is important before committing to the full part. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but slick or low-energy surfaces can still need extra prep to get reliable adhesion.

Clean the part carefully, scuff it if the material allows, and use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel when you want better adhesion on challenging substrates. For plastic parts, the safest approach is to test a small area first because one type of plastic can behave very differently from another.

MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Green Tambourine 53597 is typically dry to the touch within minutes. Plan to recoat in 1 to 2 hours, and allow about two weeks for full cure before expecting the coating to be fully hardened.

Dry to touch, recoat, and full cure are different stages. If the item needs to be handled, assembled, or returned to service quickly, use the recoat window and the full cure time to plan the project so the finish is not damaged too soon.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Dulux Green Tambourine 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 Green Tambourine, 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.
