Match of Dunn Edwards™ DE5818 Midnight Haze *

Yes, but plastics and other low-energy surfaces can vary a lot, so the safest approach is to test the MyPerfectColor match of DE5818 Midnight Haze on the actual material first. For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer recommended for acrylic enamel before applying the color coat. That helps reduce the risk of peeling or poor bond on surfaces that are hard to coat.

If you are painting an item made of plastic, do not assume one prep method works for all plastics. A test on the real part is the best way to confirm how the matched color will lay down and hold.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to DE5818 Midnight Haze is useful for parts that are awkward or inefficient to brush, such as trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, and accessories. It is also a practical choice for removable items or small components that need to coordinate with a known paint color.

If your project involves a mailbox, grille, bracket, cover plate, or other small object, spray paint often makes it easier to get even coverage than a brush on a detailed surface. The key is that you are ordering MyPerfectColor paint matched to the DE5818 Midnight Haze reference, not the original Dunn Edwards paint.

For a match of DE5818 Midnight Haze in spray paint, dry time, recoat time, and full cure are different stages. The paint is typically dry to the touch within minutes, should be recoated in about one to two hours, and is fully cured in about two weeks.

If you need to handle the item or put it back in service, do not treat dry to the touch as fully cured. Wait longer when the part will be touched, stacked, installed, or exposed to wear.

Finish changes how DE5818 Midnight Haze reflects light and how the matched coating reads on the finished item. The same color can look different across gloss levels, textures, and substrates, so finish is a practical ordering choice, not just a style preference.

If you are matching a part that will sit next to another surface, pay attention to sheen as well as color. A finish mismatch can make the item look different even when the color formula is correct.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the DE5818 Midnight Haze color name alone. To get the correct safety information, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the product you are ordering.

If you are choosing between formats, make sure the SDS matches the specific MyPerfectColor paint type you plan to use, since spray paint and other product types can have different documentation.

While we can provide Dunn Edwards DE5818 Midnight Haze 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.
