A match of Valspar 1011-2 Fabulous Red is a deep, warm red with a strong orange-brown undertone. It reads dark rather than bright, with enough chroma to feel clear without moving into a clean primary red. The low LRV means the color will appear substantial on finished parts.

As a MyPerfectColor custom spray paint match, it can be used on mailboxes, railing details, vent covers, speaker grilles, brackets, switch plates, shutters, metal shelving, tool housings, and other small parts that need a coordinated red finish. It also suits PVC trim pieces, hardware, and removable fixtures where spray application is easier than brushing.

Because this is a dark, saturated red, surface prep and finish choice matter. Uneven or lighter substrates can show through more readily, and glossy finishes may make texture or repair marks easier to notice. Depending on the surface and film build, additional coats may be needed for even coverage, and outdoor exposure can be harder on vivid reds than on quieter colors.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Valspar™ 1011-2 Fabulous Red *

Where can I find the SDS for 1011-2 Fabulous Red by Valspar when I order a MyPerfectColor match?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the Valspar color name alone. Use the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor product and format you plan to order, because spray paint and other formats can have different safety information. MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets are available on the Safety Data Sheets page for the product.

How do I confirm that 1011-2 Fabulous Red by Valspar is the right reference before I order a MyPerfectColor match?

Confirm the color from a physical swatch, a known existing sample, or another reliable original brand reference before you place the order. Screen viewing alone can be misleading, especially for vivid reds like 1011-2 Fabulous Red by Valspar. MyPerfectColor matches the selected brand color reference, so the best way to avoid ordering the wrong color is to verify the target against an actual reference you trust.

How much 1011-2 Fabulous Red by Valspar custom spray paint should I order for my project?

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but rough or dark surfaces may need more product. If you are ordering another MyPerfectColor paint format instead of spray paint, coverage is usually about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon, depending on the product and the surface.

For best planning, measure the actual parts you will paint, then allow extra for edges, texture, and any additional coat needed to even out the finish.

What kinds of projects work well with 1011-2 Fabulous Red by Valspar in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint?

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to 1011-2 Fabulous Red by Valspar is useful for smaller or awkward parts that are hard to coat neatly with a brush. Common uses include trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, speaker grilles, access panels, and other removable or hard-to-reach items.

It is also practical when you want a repeatable color on metal, plastic, wood, wicker, or previously coated parts after proper surface preparation. For items like vents, switch covers, mailboxes, shutters, or other small exterior pieces, spray application is often the easiest way to get even coverage.

What should I confirm before ordering 1011-2 Fabulous Red by Valspar because it is a custom-made MyPerfectColor match?

Custom-made color matches should be chosen carefully because they are not returnable or refundable.

If you are matching a part that sits next to an existing surface, make sure you are matching the original brand color reference rather than an aged, faded, or differently finished surface.
