Dupli-Color Perfect Match Premium Automotive Paint

Dupli-Color Perfect Match Premium Automotive Paint in Phantom Grey Pearl (8 oz) is an acrylic lacquer aerosol designed to reproduce the factory color for precise OEM touch-ups and accessory refinishing.

If your vehicle needs a small area restored to its original look—whether due to chips, scratches, or faded trim—this spray offers a fast-drying, exact-match solution. Formulated to match factory-applied finishes, Dupli-Color Perfect Match is tuned to common manufacturer color codes so you can match current and late-model import and domestic vehicles with confidence.

How accurate is the color match for my car?

Dupli-Color ties its Perfect Match line to vehicle paint codes so the Phantom Grey Pearl finish (code 1E3) is engineered to align with the factory shade. Accuracy depends on using the correct code from your car’s ID tag and preparing the surface properly.

• Locate color code on the vehicle ID tag/sticker (often on driver’s door jamb).
• Use code 1E3 for Phantom Grey Pearl on compatible models.
• Test on a hidden area and adjust technique for lighting variations.

What surface prep and application steps give the best result?

For a seamless repair, clean and sand the damaged area, then apply in light, even strokes using the EZ Touch 360° nozzle. Allow the paint to become dry to the touch in about 30 minutes and handleable within an hour for most conditions.

• Clean grease, wax, and contaminants before painting.
• Feather-sand edges and use primer on bare metal or plastic as needed.
• Spray several thin coats, holding the can 6–8 inches away, letting each dry between passes.

Will this work on all OEM surfaces and accessories?

Yes—Perfect Match is formulated for OEM paint surfaces and is well-suited for body panels, bumpers, trim, and accessories found on cars, trucks, and SUVs. It’s created to blend into factory finishes when applied properly and allowed to cure.

• Use on factory-painted metal and plastic parts with proper priming.
• Ideal for small to medium touch-ups and accessory restoration.
• Acrylic lacquer formula provides smooth coverage and gloss similar to factory finishes.

How does the EZ Touch nozzle and drying time benefit the DIY repair?

The EZ Touch 360° Fan Spray Nozzle delivers consistent coverage from multiple angles, making it easier to reach trims and awkward areas. Fast-drying performance reduces wait time between coats, so projects finish quicker without extended curing setups.

• 360° nozzle helps spray from different orientations without clogging.
• Dries to the touch in about 30 minutes under typical conditions.
• Handleable in roughly 1 hour; full cure may take longer based on environment.

Who is this for: Dupli-Color Perfect Match Phantom Grey Pearl (8 oz) is intended for vehicle owners, hobbyists, and automotive detailers who need a precise OEM color match for spot repairs or accessory refinishing. It’s ideal if you want a professional-looking touch-up without full panel resprays—especially when you can locate the correct factory color code and follow proper surface prep.
