Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW1942 Diamond *

Confirm SW1942 Diamond from a physical Sherwin-Williams swatch, an existing painted part, or another known color reference before you order. MyPerfectColor makes a match of SW1942 Diamond, so the order should be based on the original brand color reference rather than how the color looks on a screen.

This helps reduce the risk of ordering a match for the wrong version of the color when the project depends on a specific reference.

Yes. Even when SW1942 Diamond is matched correctly, the finished item can read differently depending on lighting, placement, sheen, texture, and the surfaces around it. That is normal for a coated part, panel, or fixture.

If the item will sit next to an existing painted surface, test the match on the actual substrate whenever possible so you can judge the final appearance in the real environment.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to SW1942 Diamond is typically dry to the touch within minutes, should be recoated in 1 to 2 hours, and is fully cured in about two weeks.

Dry to the touch does not mean fully handled or fully cured. If the part will be assembled, stacked, or installed soon after painting, plan around the cure time as well as the recoat window.

For metal or an existing coating, clean the surface first, remove dirt, oil, rust, and loose material, and scuff the surface so the new coating can grip. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to SW1942 Diamond is often used on small parts, hardware, fixtures, and other items where good prep matters.

Gloss, texture, and the condition of the old coating can affect how the finished color reads, so a test spray on the actual substrate is a good way to reduce risk before you commit to the full part.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW1942 Diamond, 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.

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.
