A match of Dunn Edwards DE5258 Burnt Almond is a medium-deep warm brown with a noticeable red-orange cast. It reads earthy and slightly muted rather than bright, with enough chroma to keep the brown from looking flat. With an LRV of 19.67, it sits on the deeper side and tends to read substantial on small parts and finished components.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on metal, plastic, and other spray-friendly parts that need a warm brown finish. Common applications include railings, brackets, vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, cabinet pulls, mailbox parts, shelf supports, frames, shutters, and PVC details. It also works for furniture accents, baskets, and removable accessories where a consistent sprayed color is needed.

Because this color is relatively deep, it often covers more efficiently than a very light color over similar or lighter substrates, but prior coatings, surface texture, and edge wear can still affect the final result. Sheen level and film build may change how warm or dark it appears, and smoother surfaces usually show the color more cleanly than rough or patched ones.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dunn Edwards™ DE5258 Burnt Almond *

Can I use DE5258 Burnt Almond by Dunn Edwards in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint on plastic parts?

Plastics vary a lot, so test DE5258 Burnt Almond on the actual plastic first if the part is important. MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to this color can work well on many plastic items, but using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult surfaces.

If you are coating trim pieces, covers, vents, or other plastic accessories, a small test on the back or a hidden edge is the safest way to confirm how the surface accepts the paint before you finish the whole part.

How much DE5258 Burnt Almond by Dunn Edwards do I need in MyPerfectColor spray paint?

Coverage depends on the size of the item, the surface texture, how much hiding is needed, the spray method, and how many coats DE5258 Burnt Almond needs for even color. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

If you are using another MyPerfectColor paint format instead of spray paint, coverage is often about 400 to 600 square feet, but rough, porous, or dark surfaces can reduce that amount. Plan extra paint if the part needs more than one coat.

Where do I find the SDS for DE5258 Burnt Almond by Dunn Edwards from MyPerfectColor?

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product chemistry, not the DE5258 Burnt Almond color name alone. Check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the specific product format you plan to order.

If you are comparing spray paint, paint pens, or another MyPerfectColor format matched to DE5258 Burnt Almond, make sure you use the SDS that matches the exact product you are buying.

What kinds of projects work well with DE5258 Burnt Almond by Dunn Edwards in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint?

DE5258 Burnt Almond in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint is useful for small or awkward parts such as trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and other items that are hard to coat neatly with a brush.

It is also practical for coordinated parts that need a repeatable match to the selected color, especially when you want a spray format for faster application on removable or hard-to-reach pieces.

How should I prep metal before painting it with DE5258 Burnt Almond by Dunn Edwards?

Before applying a match of DE5258 Burnt Almond to metal, clean off dirt, oil, and other contamination, then scuff the surface so the new coating can grip. Remove rust and loose paint, and make sure the old finish is still sound if you are painting over an existing coating.

Gloss, texture, and the condition of the old surface can change how DE5258 Burnt Almond looks after it dries, so a test area is a good idea when the new coating will sit beside an older painted surface.
