Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW7074 Software *

Yes, MyPerfectColor custom spray paint can be matched to SW7074 Software for many plastic parts, but plastics vary a lot. The safest approach is to test the actual material first because some plastics accept paint more easily than others.

For better adhesion, clean the part well and consider using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel. If the plastic is slick, flexible, or unfamiliar, a test spray on the actual item is the best way to confirm how the match and adhesion will behave before you finish the whole part.

Coverage depends on the size of the item, the texture of the surface, the hiding power needed, the spray method, and how many coats you plan to apply. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

If the surface is rough, dark, porous, or has an existing finish that shows through, plan for more paint than a smooth, light, easy-to-cover surface. For larger projects, other MyPerfectColor paint formats usually cover about 400 to 600 square feet, but the exact amount still depends on the surface and application method.

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to SW7074 Software is a practical choice for switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, knobs, and similar small parts when you want a smooth sprayed finish.

Small parts often show differences in sheen, texture, and surface prep more than larger items do, so it helps to paint all related pieces with the same prep plan and finish. That makes it easier to keep the parts consistent with each other.

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used and how reflective you want the finished surface to be. Sheen matters because the same SW7074 Software color can look different at different gloss levels.

Higher sheen is more reflective and can change the way the color reads on the finished item. Lower sheen reduces reflectivity but may not clean as easily. If you are coating a part that already has an existing finish, try to match the sheen as closely as possible to the surface you are covering.

Before spraying SW7074 Software on metal or on top of an old coating, clean the surface carefully and remove any dirt, oil, rust, or loose paint. Glossy surfaces usually need scuffing so the new coating can grip better.

The condition of the old coating matters because gloss, texture, and wear can affect how the final color looks. If the surface is rusty, peeling, or contaminated, address that first and consider a test spray before finishing the full part.

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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW7074 Software, 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.
