Match of Dunn Edwards™ DE 138 U1 Elk Horn *

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used and how much shine you want on the finished item. A flatter sheen will reflect less light, while a satin or glossier finish will show more reflection and can make the same DE 138 U1 Elk Horn match read a little differently on the surface.

MyPerfectColor supplies a match of DE 138 U1 Elk Horn in its own paint, so the sheen you order is a practical product choice, not part of the color code itself. If the item will be handled often or needs easier cleanup, a more durable, less matte finish is often the better order.

Plan your quantity from the surface area, texture, and number of coats you expect to need, not from the color name alone. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paint formats commonly cover about 400 to 600 square feet per coat depending on the product and surface.

For DE 138 U1 Elk Horn, rough or porous surfaces, darker existing colors, and uneven substrates can increase the amount needed. If you are coating a part in a MyPerfectColor match of DE 138 U1 Elk Horn, it is safer to size the order for full coverage plus a little extra for test spraying and touch-up on the same project.

Before spraying or painting DE 138 U1 Elk Horn, clean the surface, remove grease or residue, and lightly scuff the area when the substrate allows it. Then mask off any parts that should stay untouched and make a test application on the actual surface first.

This matters because MyPerfectColor is matching the DE 138 U1 Elk Horn color reference, but adhesion and final appearance still depend on the substrate. Proper prep helps the custom-matched paint bond better and gives you a more reliable result on metal, plastic, wood, or a previously coated item.

Confirm DE 138 U1 Elk Horn from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference, not from a screen alone. On-screen color can shift with lighting and device settings, so it is not the safest way to approve a paint order.

MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard for DE 138 U1 Elk Horn, so you should verify that this is the exact reference you want before placing the order. That is especially important if the new paint will be used next to an existing surface, where small differences in aging or sheen can be noticeable.

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the DE 138 U1 Elk Horn color name by itself. If you need the Safety Data Sheet for the product you are ordering, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page.

While we can provide Dunn Edwards DE 138 U1 Elk Horn in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another brand.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the brand 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.
