A match of Dunn Edwards DE 1088 L1 Lava Flow reads as a medium-light cool gray with a restrained blue undertone and very low chroma. It sits close to neutral, but the cool cast keeps it from looking warm or beige.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be useful for vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, access panels, brackets, shelf supports, mailbox parts, PVC pipe, and other small fixtures where a consistent gray-blue finish is needed. It can also work on removable items such as hardware, knobs, display parts, and trim pieces when you want the same color across metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces.
Because the color is quiet rather than vivid, coverage is usually more forgiving than with saturated colors. Even so, the final read can shift with surface texture, sheen, and film build, and a glossier finish can make surface marks or substrate differences more noticeable.
On darker or uneven substrates, primer and steady coat build can help the color appear more even and keep the cool gray character consistent from edge to edge.

Confirm DE 1088 L1 Lava Flow from a physical Dunn Edwards swatch, an approved sample, or another known color reference before ordering. Screen images can shift with lighting and device settings, so they are not a reliable way to approve the target color.
MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, not the original Dunn Edwards paint itself. If you are trying to match an existing painted item, use the best physical reference you have so you are ordering against the color you actually want, not a guess from a photo or monitor.
Coverage for DE 1088 L1 Lava Flow depends on the surface size, texture, hide, application method, and how many coats are needed. For custom spray paint, a good planning estimate is about 20 square feet per can with one coat.
If you are ordering another MyPerfectColor paint format, coverage is commonly about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon, but real-world results vary with the surface and prep. For projects with rough, porous, or darker surfaces, plan extra material so you do not run short before the final coat is complete.
Yes. A match of Dunn Edwards DE 1088 L1 Lava Flow is the kind of color many people order in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, knobs, and similar small parts.
Spray paint is practical when the part can be removed, cleaned, and prepped before painting. Metal, plastic, wood, wicker, and previously coated items can all be candidates, but the surface condition matters. If the part has smooth plastic, bare metal, or another difficult substrate, plan on the right prep and any primer needed for that material before you apply the matched color.
The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the DE 1088 L1 Lava Flow color name by itself. If you need safety information, look up the Safety Data Sheet for the exact MyPerfectColor format you plan to order, such as spray paint or another product form.
Do not assume one SDS covers every format just because the color reference is the same. If you need the SDS for a particular order, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the matching product type before purchase or use.
Choose the sheen for DE 1088 L1 Lava Flow based on how the item will be used and how you want the finished surface to behave. The same color can look different in flat, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss because sheen changes reflectivity and how strongly the color reads on the surface.
If you are matching an existing painted item, try to match the sheen as well as the color reference. Higher sheen usually shows more shine and more surface detail, while lower sheen reduces reflectivity and can help a surface look less busy. For hardware, vents, and removable parts, pick the finish that fits the object's use and cleaning needs, not color alone.
