Match of Dutch Boy™ R-22-3 Begonia *

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and its chemistry, not the Dutch Boy color name by itself. For the Safety Data Sheet for a MyPerfectColor match of R-22-3 Begonia, use the Safety Data Sheets page at https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm. If you are checking compliance for a specific format, review the SDS for the exact product you plan to order.

Choose the finish based on the part and the wear it will see, not just the color name. Higher sheen finishes are usually easier to clean and more reflective, while lower sheen finishes reduce reflection and can make surface texture less noticeable. The same R-22-3 Begonia match can look different in each sheen, so if it will sit next to an existing painted surface, match the sheen as closely as possible to reduce appearance differences. If you are unsure, pick the finish that best fits the substrate and cleaning needs of the item you are coating.

Apply several light, even coats instead of one heavy coat. Keep the can moving, overlap passes consistently, and hold a steady distance so the film builds evenly. Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy looking build that changes how R-22-3 Begonia reads on the finished part. If the surface is dark or uneven, expect that a few additional light coats may be needed for full coverage.

Yes. A custom spray paint match of R-22-3 Begonia is a practical option for small parts such as switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, knobs, trim pieces, and similar removable items. Spray paint is often the easiest format when the goal is a repeatable color on compact parts with edges, openings, or detailed shapes. For best results, confirm the exact item material and the finish you want before ordering so the product format matches the application.

Clean the part first so dust, grease, and contaminants do not affect adhesion. If the surface is glossy or smooth, a light scuff can help the new coating bond better. Check for rust, loose paint, peeling clear coat, or other damage, because those conditions can show through or affect the finish. On an existing coating, the old gloss, texture, and condition can change how the R-22-3 Begonia match looks, so test prep on a small area if the item is highly visible.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Dutch Boy R-22-3 Begonia in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

While we can provide Dutch Boy R-22-3 Begonia 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.
