A match of Dunn Edwards DE 261 U1 Punch is a medium-light yellow green with a clear, fairly saturated character. It leans green first, with enough yellow in the undertone to keep it from reading muted or olive, and it has enough depth to show as a defined color rather than a pale tint.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be used on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, PVC trim, shelving brackets, railings, mailboxes, frames, hardware, and other small sprayable parts where a distinct yellow-green is needed on a removable or finish-sensitive surface. It is a practical match for details that need to be repeated across metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated components after proper prep.

Because the color is moderately strong, coverage can vary with the substrate. Darker or uneven bases may show through longer, so additional coats may be needed for even hide. Surface texture, gloss level, and film build can also shift how green or yellow the color reads, especially on plastic or older coated parts. Outdoor exposure can be more demanding on a color this lively than on a quieter neutral.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dunn Edwards™ DE 261 U1 Punch *

Can DE 261 U1 Punch be used as MyPerfectColor spray paint on plastic parts?

Yes, MyPerfectColor can make a custom spray paint match of DE 261 U1 Punch for many plastic parts, but plastics vary a lot. For items like covers, housings, trim pieces, or other removable parts, test the actual material first because some plastics need more prep than others.

Clean the part well and use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel if you want better adhesion. A test spray on the real plastic is the safest way to confirm how DE 261 U1 Punch will look and stick on that specific substrate.

How should I prep metal or an existing coating before painting with DE 261 U1 Punch?

For metal, clean off oil, dust, and any contamination first, then scuff the surface so the coating has a better mechanical bond. If there is rust, loose paint, or a failing coating, remove those problem areas before applying DE 261 U1 Punch.

When you are painting brackets, rails, vents, hardware, or other metal parts, the condition of the old surface matters. Gloss, texture, and wear in the existing coating can change how DE 261 U1 Punch looks after it dries, so prep the part as evenly as you can before spraying.

Where do I find the SDS for DE 261 U1 Punch?

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product chemistry, not the DE 261 U1 Punch color name by itself. To find the SDS, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the specific product format you are buying, such as spray paint or another coating type.

If you need SDS information for a purchase decision, confirm the exact MyPerfectColor product first, since different formats can have different safety documents.

How much DE 261 U1 Punch spray paint should I order?

Coverage depends on the size of the item, the texture of the surface, how much hiding you need, and how you apply the paint. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but rough, porous, or dark surfaces can use more product.

For DE 261 U1 Punch, plan extra paint if you are coating small parts, fixtures, trim pieces, or anything that may need more than one coat for even coverage. If you are using a non-spray format, other MyPerfectColor paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, but the exact yield still depends on the project.

How long does DE 261 U1 Punch spray paint take to dry and recoat?

For DE 261 U1 Punch in spray paint form, dry-to-touch is usually within minutes, recoating is typically in 1 to 2 hours, and full cure is about two weeks. Those are different stages, so dry-to-touch does not mean the coating is ready for heavy handling.

If you are painting removable parts, fixtures, or other handled items, give the film enough time to cure before reinstalling, stacking, or putting the part back into service.
