A match of Dunn Edwards DE 3011 Solar's Edge reads as a subdued medium-deep gray with a slight cool blue-green bias. Its low chroma keeps the color quiet and neutral, while the LRV of 22.24 gives it noticeable depth without pushing it into near-black territory.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, access covers, railings, mailbox parts, shelving brackets, PVC fittings, cabinet hardware, frames, and small fixture components. It is also a practical choice for maintenance and retrofit work on removable parts that need to coordinate with an existing painted surface.

Because this is a medium-deep neutral, it usually hides more easily than a vivid color, but the darker value can make scratches, sanding marks, and sheen differences more noticeable on the finished part. Surface prep, substrate color, and film build can change how cool or gray the color appears, especially on plastic and previously coated metal.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dunn Edwards™ DE 3011 Solar's Edge *

How much MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Dunn Edwards DE 3011 Solar's Edge do I need for my project?

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. If the surface is rough, porous, dark, or uneven, plan for more material and possibly extra coats. If you are using another MyPerfectColor paint format for a larger project, coverage is usually much higher, often about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon, depending on the product and surface.

Can I use MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Dunn Edwards DE 3011 Solar's Edge on switch covers, vents, or hardware?

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Dunn Edwards DE 3011 Solar's Edge is practical for small parts and fixtures such as switch covers, vents, knobs, brackets, trim pieces, and speaker grilles when you want a durable spray-applied finish. The key is proper surface preparation for the specific material, since metal, plastic, and previously coated parts can all behave differently. Clean, prep, and prime as needed before spraying.

What should I confirm before ordering a custom match of Dunn Edwards DE 3011 Solar's Edge?

Before ordering, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need.

The same color can look a little different on metal, plastic, wood, or a textured surface than it does on a sample or swatch.
