Match of Dunn Edwards™ DEA148 Sunken Ship *

Primer depends on the substrate, its condition, and the paint product you are using. For a MyPerfectColor match of DEA148 Sunken Ship, primer is not always required, but it can help with adhesion, hiding, and overall consistency on difficult or uneven surfaces.

If you are painting bare, glossy, porous, repaired, or heavily dissimilar material, check the prep guidance for the specific product and surface before ordering and spraying.

Yes. A MyPerfectColor custom spray paint match of DEA148 Sunken Ship is practical for small items and accessories such as baskets, frames, shelving, furniture accents, hardware, and decor pieces when the goal is to coordinate the object to that known color.

Use proper surface prep and choose a format that fits the material you are coating. Spray paint is often the easiest option for detailed or hard-to-brush items.

Sheen is a practical ordering choice because it changes durability, cleanup, reflectivity, and how DEA148 Sunken Ship reads on the finished item. Lower sheens usually hide surface flaws better, while higher sheens are typically easier to wipe clean and look more reflective.

If the part will be handled often or needs easier cleaning, that can point you toward a different finish than a low-visibility decorative piece. The color match is for DEA148 Sunken Ship, but the sheen you choose will still affect the final appearance.

Coverage depends on surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. As a general planning guide, a typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

If you are coating a textured, porous, dark, or uneven surface, plan for more material. For larger jobs, MyPerfectColor also offers other paint formats matched to DEA148 Sunken Ship, and those typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet per gallon depending on the product and surface.

For spray paint, dry-to-touch time is usually within minutes, recoat is typically about 1 to 2 hours, and full cure is about two weeks. Those are different stages, so do not treat dry-to-touch as fully cured.

If you need to handle, assemble, or expose the part to regular wear, wait for the coating to reach the appropriate stage for your project. Environmental conditions and film build can change the timing.
