A match of Sherwin Williams SW0048 Bunglehouse Blue reads as a deep, subdued blue with a clear gray cast and a cool undertone. Its low chroma keeps it from looking bright or saturated, so it comes across as restrained rather than vivid. With an LRV of 12.85, it is a fairly dark color once applied.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on coated metal, plastic, wood, and other spray-friendly parts that need a consistent dark blue-gray finish. It is well suited to vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, railings, mailboxes, shutters, trim pieces, shelf supports, frames, and similar removable or hard-to-brush objects.

Because this is a dark, muted color, surface condition and sheen can still affect how it reads. Texture, edge wear, and differences in substrate can show through more easily than they would in a lighter, flatter color, so even prep and steady film build help the finish look uniform. On exterior parts, the depth of the color can also make any variation in weathered or uneven surfaces more noticeable.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW0048 Bunglehouse Blue *

Can SW0048 Bunglehouse Blue be ordered in MyPerfectColor spray paint for plastic parts?

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to SW0048 Bunglehouse Blue can be used on many plastic parts, but plastics vary widely by resin and surface treatment. For the lowest risk, clean and prep the actual part first and test the match on the material you will paint.

If the plastic is difficult to bond to, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel before the color coat. That helps improve adhesion and reduces the chance of peeling on low-energy plastics.

How does sheen change the look of SW0048 Bunglehouse Blue after it is sprayed?

Sheen changes how SW0048 Bunglehouse Blue reflects light on the finished item. A higher sheen will look more reflective and can make the same color read differently than a lower sheen.

A lower sheen reduces reflection and usually makes the surface look flatter. The color match stays the same, but the finished appearance changes because finish is a practical coating variable, not just a style choice.

Which finish should I choose for SW0048 Bunglehouse Blue if I want durability or less shine?

Choose the sheen for the job, not just the color name. Higher sheen usually gives more reflectivity and is often easier to wipe clean, while lower sheen cuts glare and shows less reflection.

Because the same SW0048 Bunglehouse Blue match can look different across finishes, make the finish choice based on how the part will be used and how much shine you want on the completed item.

What should I confirm before ordering SW0048 Bunglehouse Blue as a custom MyPerfectColor match?

Before ordering SW0048 Bunglehouse Blue, confirm the exact brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity. MyPerfectColor is making a custom match of the selected brand color reference, not selling the original Sherwin Williams paint product.
