Match of Dunn Edwards™ DE6373 Porpoise *

The sheen you choose for a match of Dunn Edwards DE6373 Porpoise changes how the finished item looks and how it performs, but it does not change the color reference itself. Lower sheens usually look less reflective and can hide small surface flaws better. Higher sheens reflect more light, clean more easily, and can make the same color read a little different on the finished part.

If you are coating a fixture, trim piece, vent, or accessory, choose the sheen based on the object's use and the look you need after application. If you are trying to coordinate with an existing painted surface, match the sheen as closely as possible because sheen differences can be noticeable even when the color match is correct.

Coverage depends on the item size, surface texture, application method, and how many coats you need for a match of Dunn Edwards DE6373 Porpoise. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon, but real-world coverage can be lower on rough, porous, or dark surfaces.

If you are painting baskets, hardware, vents, or other small parts, one can may be enough for a single item but not for multiple coats or larger assemblies. It is usually safer to order a little extra if the surface is textured or if you expect to apply more than one coat for even color.

Yes, a match of Dunn Edwards DE6373 Porpoise can be used on many plastic and PVC items, but plastics vary a lot and some need more prep than others. Clean the surface well, remove release agents or oils, and test on the actual material before coating the full part. Surface texture and the specific plastic type can affect adhesion and appearance.

MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can improve adhesion on difficult substrates. If the item is flexible, slick, or unfamiliar, a test application is the safest way to confirm that the coating will hold and look right before you commit to the whole project.

Before ordering a custom match of Dunn Edwards DE6373 Porpoise, confirm the exact color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity you need. The same color reference can be ordered in different formats, and the finish you choose can change how the color reads on the final item.

Custom-made color matches should be chosen carefully because they are not returnable or refundable. If the project is important, it is better to verify the brand color reference and order details first than to assume a later correction will be possible.

Yes. A match of Dunn Edwards DE6373 Porpoise is often used for baskets, frames, shelving, brackets, hardware, and other small items where a spray application is practical. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint is a good choice when the goal is to coordinate a removable or hard-to-paint object to a known brand color reference.

For the best result, prep the item based on its material, apply thin coats, and allow enough dry time between coats. If the item will be handled often, the surface prep and finish choice matter as much as the color match itself.

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.
