A match of Sherwin Williams SW6034 Arresting Auburn is a deep, low-LRV reddish brown with a warm auburn undertone. It reads muted rather than bright, with enough red to keep it from looking like a plain brown.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected Sherwin Williams color can be used on railings, mailboxes, vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, brackets, hardware, and trim pieces where a dark warm accent is needed. It is also a practical choice for metal or plastic parts that need to coordinate with a known paint color reference.

Because this is a dark, muted color, surface prep and finish selection can affect the result noticeably. Texture, sheen, and film build may shift how much red shows through, and uneven substrates can read more clearly in darker colors. On worn or glossy parts, careful prep helps the match read more consistently.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW6034 Arresting Auburn *

Can SW6034 Arresting Auburn be used on plastic parts, or do I need special prep first?

Plastics can vary a lot, so SW6034 Arresting Auburn should be treated as a test-before-full-coverage project on the actual material. MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to SW6034 Arresting Auburn can stick well to many plastics, but adhesion and final appearance depend on the specific plastic, its texture, and how it was molded or handled.

For better results, clean the part carefully and use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel to improve adhesion, especially on difficult or low-energy plastics. If the plastic is unfamiliar, do a small test application first so you can confirm adhesion and appearance before painting the full item.

What should I confirm before ordering SW6034 Arresting Auburn as a MyPerfectColor custom paint match?

Before ordering SW6034 Arresting Auburn, confirm the exact brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen you need, and the quantity. The code identifies the color target, but it does not by itself define the finish, the substrate prep, or how an existing painted surface will look after recoating.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom match of SW6034 Arresting Auburn in its own paint, not the original Sherwin Williams paint product. Because custom-matched orders are made to order, they are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to verify the details before you place the order.

How much coverage should I expect from SW6034 Arresting Auburn spray paint?

Coverage for SW6034 Arresting Auburn depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats are needed. A typical can of MyPerfectColor spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but real-world coverage can be lower or higher depending on the project.

If you are painting a rough, porous, or high-contrast surface, plan for extra paint and possibly more than one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, but spray paint is usually used for smaller parts, fixtures, and detail work rather than large wall areas.

What kinds of projects work well with SW6034 Arresting Auburn custom spray paint?

SW6034 Arresting Auburn custom spray paint is useful for small parts and awkward items that are hard to coat evenly with a brush. Common uses include trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and other removable or hard-to-reach components.

It is also practical for project parts that need to coordinate with a known paint color on metal, plastic, wood, wicker, or a previously coated surface. If the item is small, detailed, or inefficient to paint by hand, a match of SW6034 Arresting Auburn in spray form is often the most practical option.

What prep should I do before spraying SW6034 Arresting Auburn on metal or an old coating?

Before applying SW6034 Arresting Auburn to metal or over an existing coating, clean the surface thoroughly and remove grease, dust, rust, and other contamination. If the old finish is glossy or slick, scuffing it first can help the new coating grip better.

The condition of the old coating matters a lot. Loose paint, rust, heavy texture, or uneven gloss can all affect adhesion and how SW6034 Arresting Auburn reads after it dries. If you are painting over a surface that is already finished, test a small area first so you can confirm both adhesion and appearance before doing the full project.
