Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application

A match of Dunn Edwards DE5844 Splish Splash is a cool blue-cyan with a clear, moderately saturated look. It sits in a medium depth range, reading more blue than green and less muted than a gray-cast teal.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on vent covers, speaker grilles, switch plates, outlet covers, brackets, frames, mailbox parts, shelving hardware, and other small sprayable pieces. It is also a practical choice for PVC trim pieces, fixtures, and removable accessories that need a coordinated blue-cyan finish.

Because this color has noticeable chroma, coverage can be more dependent on the substrate than with a neutral. Dark, uneven, or porous surfaces may need extra coats for even color, and finish choice can change how crisp or deep the color looks. Surface prep and film build can also affect the final appearance.

If the item will be used outdoors, keep in mind that vivid blue-green colors can be more sensitive to weathering than quieter neutrals. Proper prep and a suitable coating system matter, especially on railings, shutters, mailboxes, and exposed fixtures.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Dunn Edwards™ DE5844 Splish Splash *

How much MyPerfectColor paint matched to DE5844 Splish Splash do I need for my project?

Coverage depends on the size of the item, the surface texture, how much the surface absorbs paint, the application method, and how many coats are needed. A typical spray paint can covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon equivalent. For DE5844 Splish Splash, plan conservatively if the surface is rough, porous, or a vivid color that may need extra coats to hide evenly.

Where can I find the SDS for DE5844 Splish Splash?

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor paint product or chemistry, not the DE5844 Splish Splash color name alone. For MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets, use this page: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm. Check the SDS for the exact product format you plan to order, such as spray paint or another MyPerfectColor option.

Will DE5844 Splish Splash look the same after I apply MyPerfectColor paint?

Not always. After application, DE5844 Splish Splash can read differently depending on lighting, placement, sheen, and the colors or materials around it. If the finished part will sit next to an existing painted surface, a test application on the actual substrate is the most reliable way to check the result before coating the full item.

Which finish should I choose for MyPerfectColor paint matched to DE5844 Splish Splash?

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used and how you want the surface to behave, not just on the color name. Lower-sheen finishes usually reflect less light and can hide surface texture better, while higher-sheen finishes are often easier to clean but can make defects and texture more visible. For DE5844 Splish Splash, the best sheen is the one that fits the surface, handling, and durability needs of the project.

What surface prep should I do before applying DE5844 Splish Splash from MyPerfectColor?

Start with a clean, dry, grease-free surface. Light scuffing can help where appropriate, especially on smooth or glossy items, and masking should be used to protect areas that should not be coated. Before finishing the whole project, test DE5844 Splish Splash on the actual surface so you can confirm adhesion, appearance, and finish behavior on the real material.
