Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW2840 Hammered Silver *

Confirm the target from a physical Sherwin Williams swatch or from a known existing painted sample, not from a screen view. Screen color can shift by device and lighting, so the code and name alone do not fully verify the reference.

Once you know SW2840 Hammered Silver is the correct target, MyPerfectColor can make a custom-matched paint to that selected brand color reference in its own product formats.

Choose the sheen based on the part and how it will be used, because finish affects durability, cleanup, reflectivity, and how SW2840 Hammered Silver looks on the finished item. A glossier finish can show more surface texture and defects, while a flatter finish can reduce reflectivity but may clean differently.

If the item will be handled often or sit in a visible area, make sure the finish you order is the one you want before buying, since the sheen is part of how the matched color will appear.

For metal or an existing coating, start with a clean, sound surface. Remove dust, grease, wax, rust, and other contamination, then scuff glossy areas so the new coating has a better chance to bond.

If the old coating is peeling, heavily rusted, or uneven, fix that first. The condition of the base layer can affect both adhesion and the final look of a match of SW2840 Hammered Silver, especially when the new coat goes over an older finish.

Use light, even coats and keep your passes consistent so the color builds gradually. Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking build, especially on edges, hardware, and detailed parts.

It is usually safer to apply several controlled coats than one wet coat. Let each coat dry according to the product instructions before adding the next coat of a match of SW2840 Hammered Silver.

Even when the color match is correct, lighting, sheen, placement, and nearby surfaces can change how SW2840 Hammered Silver reads on the finished item. Daylight, warm indoor light, and directional lighting can each make the same match appear a little different.

If the part will sit next to an existing painted surface, the age, texture, and gloss of that neighboring area can also affect your eye's reading of the color. A match of SW2840 Hammered Silver is still the target, but the finished appearance depends on the full surface context.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new.

If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW2840 Hammered Silver, we don't provide any crossover information because this is a subjective determination. Every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, so determining which color is the best approximation is a judgement call.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Related Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the company 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.
