Match of Dunn Edwards™ DEA183 Dark Shadows *

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to DEA183 Dark Shadows is a practical option for trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and other small or awkward parts that are harder to brush evenly. It is best when you want the part itself to be coated, not when you are trying to blend into an older surrounding surface. Because DEA183 Dark Shadows is a dark color, surface prep, spray technique, and finish choice can affect how uniform it looks on the finished item.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product or chemistry you are ordering, not to the name DEA183 Dark Shadows alone. To get the correct SDS, look up the Safety Data Sheet for the exact MyPerfectColor product format you plan to use, such as spray paint or another finish system. Review that SDS before use, storage, or disposal.

Plastics can vary a lot, so for DEA183 Dark Shadows you should test on the actual material before painting the full part. MyPerfectColor spray paint works on many plastics, but adhesion can change with the substrate, texture, and prior coatings. If the part is a plastic, low-energy, or hard-to-stick surface, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel to improve adhesion before applying the matched color.

Custom-made matches of DEA183 Dark Shadows should be ordered carefully because they are not returnable or refundable. Before you buy, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need. That is especially important when you are ordering a match of DEA183 Dark Shadows instead of the original Dunn Edwards paint product.

Choose the sheen for DEA183 Dark Shadows based on how the part will be used and how much reflection you want. Higher gloss finishes are typically easier to wipe clean and more reflective, while lower gloss finishes reduce shine and can be better when you want less visual reflection on vents, covers, or other functional parts. The same matched color can look different across sheen levels, so decide the finish before you order.

MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Dunn Edwards DEA183 Dark Shadows enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish in any color in any sheen. It sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

The MyPerfectColor 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat. Keep in mind that it is difficult to gauge spray paint need as the coverage is highly dependent on how it is applied. Learn more about how spray paint works at MyPerfectColor.
