A match of Dunn Edwards DE 422 M2 Crest is a light, cool blue-green with a clear cyan lean and moderate chroma. It reads cleaner than a muted teal, with enough color to stand out but not so much that it becomes saturated or loud. In MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint, the hue should present as fresh, slightly aquatic, and lightly bright rather than gray or dusty.

This color fits spray-painted parts where a clean blue-green finish is needed on smaller or removable items. It can be used on HVAC vents, speaker grilles, switch plates, outlet covers, metal brackets, shelf supports, railings, mailboxes, PVC trim, and hardware, as well as baskets, frames, and fixture accents when a coordinated match to the Dunn Edwards reference matters.

Because the color is fairly light and moderately vivid, substrate color and prep can affect coverage. Dark, uneven, or glossy bases may show through more readily, so multiple light coats and a consistent surface finish often matter on plastic, metal, or previously coated parts. Sheen level can also change how blue or green the color reads, and exterior exposure may make fade or wear more noticeable than it would be on a quieter neutral.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dunn Edwards™ DE 422 M2 Crest *

How can I use MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to DE 422 M2 Crest by Dunn Edwards on small parts and fixtures?

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to DE 422 M2 Crest by Dunn Edwards is useful when the item is awkward to brush or when you need a consistent match on smaller parts. Common uses include trim details, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, fixtures, accessories, and other removable or hard-to-reach pieces.

This is a MyPerfectColor match of DE 422 M2 Crest, not the original Dunn Edwards paint product. It is a practical choice when you want the color on the part itself rather than trying to blend a small repaired area into an older surface.

What finish should I choose for DE 422 M2 Crest by Dunn Edwards if I want the matched color to look right on the part?

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used, cleaned, and viewed. With DE 422 M2 Crest, a lower sheen usually hides surface flaws better, while a higher sheen reflects more light and can make the color read differently on the finished part.

If the piece will be handled often, exposed to wear, or cleaned frequently, durability and cleanup matter as much as appearance. The same color can look different across gloss levels, so pick the finish that fits the application rather than the name alone.

What surface prep should I do before spraying DE 422 M2 Crest by Dunn Edwards with MyPerfectColor paint?

Start with a clean, dry surface. Remove dirt, grease, wax, and any loose coating before applying MyPerfectColor paint matched to DE 422 M2 Crest. If the surface is glossy or slick, light scuffing can help the coating bond better when appropriate for that material.

Mask off nearby areas you do not want coated, and test on the actual surface before doing the full job. That is especially helpful on plastic, metal, wood, or previously coated parts where adhesion and final appearance can vary.

How do I confirm DE 422 M2 Crest by Dunn Edwards before ordering a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm DE 422 M2 Crest from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference from Dunn Edwards rather than relying on a screen view alone. MyPerfectColor matches the selected brand color reference, so the target color should be verified before you place the order.

The color code does not define sheen, product line, or how an older painted surface has aged. If you are matching an existing part or item beside an older surface, confirm the reference carefully so you order the right MyPerfectColor match of DE 422 M2 Crest.

Where do I find the SDS for MyPerfectColor paint matched to DE 422 M2 Crest by Dunn Edwards?

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product and chemistry you order, not to the DE 422 M2 Crest color name alone. Look up the Safety Data Sheet for the exact paint format you plan to buy.

If you need the SDS before ordering, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page and check the entry for the product you are considering. That is the correct source for the safety information for your MyPerfectColor match of DE 422 M2 Crest.
