A match of Dunn Edwards 72 Cape Cod Blue reads as a muted blue-gray with a cool undertone and low saturation. It sits in a medium-depth range, so it does not read bright or airy, but the blue is still clear enough to register as more than a plain gray. The low chroma gives it a restrained, slightly softened character.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color is well suited to parts and accessories where a subdued blue-gray finish is needed. Common uses include HVAC vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, mailboxes, shelf brackets, railings, shutters, hardware, frames, and PVC trim pieces. It can also be used on small fixtures, baskets, knobs, or removable components that need to coordinate with an existing brand color reference.
Coverage is usually more forgiving than with vivid colors, but the final result still depends on substrate color, texture, and finish. Darker or uneven bases can show through more easily, and smooth metal or plastic can make surface flaws and sheen differences more noticeable. For that reason, prep, film build, and the chosen finish all affect how this blue-gray reads once sprayed and cured.

Yes. MyPerfectColor can make a custom spray paint match of Dunn Edwards 72 Cape Cod Blue for small parts and hardware such as switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, knobs, and similar items.
Spray paint is a practical choice when you want a smooth, even finish on removable or awkward parts. It is usually easier to coat detailed shapes with spray than with a brush, but the part should still be cleaned and prepped first so the color and finish lay down evenly.
Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used and how much reflectivity you want. A higher sheen can be easier to wipe clean and may hold up better on handled parts, while a lower sheen reduces shine and can make surface flaws less noticeable.
Keep in mind that sheen changes how Dunn Edwards 72 Cape Cod Blue looks after it is applied. The same color can appear lighter or deeper depending on gloss level, so match the finish to the part and the look you need before ordering.
Coverage depends on the size of the item, surface texture, how well the coating hides, and how many coats you plan to apply. As a general guide, a typical spray can covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but small parts often need extra allowance because of edges, detail work, and overspray.
If you are painting a larger number of fixtures or several coats of Dunn Edwards 72 Cape Cod Blue, order extra so you do not run short partway through the project. For other MyPerfectColor paint formats, coverage is typically much higher, often about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon depending on the product and surface.
Before ordering, confirm the exact brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity you need. A match of Dunn Edwards 72 Cape Cod Blue is a color reference, and MyPerfectColor is supplying its own custom-matched paint based on that reference.
Because custom color orders are made specifically for your request, they are not returnable or refundable. Checking the color, product type, and finish up front is the best way to avoid ordering the wrong version of the match.
Use light, even coats and keep the spray moving so the finish builds gradually. Overlapping each pass slightly helps reduce striping and can improve color consistency on the final coat.
