Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW0017 Calico *

No. A custom-matched order of SW0017 Calico is made specifically to your request, so it should be confirmed carefully before you buy because custom color matches are not returnable or refundable.

Before placing the order, double-check the exact brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity you need. That helps avoid ordering the wrong version of a match of SW0017 Calico.

Confirm SW0017 Calico from a physical swatch from Sherwin Williams or another known existing color reference, not from a screen image alone. Screen viewing can shift the way the color looks, so the safest approach is to verify the target color first.

MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard, so the key purchasing step is making sure SW0017 Calico is the exact color reference you want before you place the order.

Apply a match of SW0017 Calico in light, even coats instead of trying to cover in one heavy pass. Keep a steady spray distance, overlap each pass consistently, and let each coat dry or flash off per the product directions before the next coat.

Heavy coats can cause runs, uneven sheen, and a muddy-looking color build. Several thin coats are usually the safer way to get a smoother finish on small parts, fixtures, or other sprayable items.

Before applying a match of SW0017 Calico over metal or an old painted surface, clean off dirt, grease, and loose debris, then scuff any sound glossy areas so the new coating can grip better. If there is rust or contamination, address that first because it can show through or affect adhesion.

The final appearance can also change based on the old coating's gloss, texture, and condition. A new coat matched to SW0017 Calico may look different if it is applied over a worn, uneven, or highly textured existing finish.

Plastics vary widely, so test a match of SW0017 Calico on the actual item before committing to the full project. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but adhesion can still change based on the specific plastic and its surface condition.

For difficult or low-energy surfaces, using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can help improve adhesion. Cleaning the part and doing a test spray first is the safest way to reduce surprises on the finished piece.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW0017 Calico, 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.
