Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW6186 Dried Thyme *

Coverage depends on the size of the item or surface, the texture, the hiding power of the substrate, the application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet.

If you are coating a small part such as a vent, cover, fixture, or removable accessory in SW6186 Dried Thyme, plan for test spray, full coverage, and a second coat if the first pass does not hide evenly.

Choose the sheen based on how durable the item needs to be, how much reflectivity you want, and how easy you need cleanup to be. The same match of SW6186 Dried Thyme can look different in different sheens, so the finish is part of the ordering decision, not just an appearance preference.

If the part will be handled often or needs easier cleaning, confirm the sheen before ordering. If the item will sit next to other coated parts, keep the sheen consistent with the rest of the project so the matched color reads as expected on the finished piece.

Custom color orders should be chosen carefully because MyPerfectColor matches made to SW6186 Dried Thyme are custom-made and are not returnable or refundable. Before ordering, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity.

This is especially important if you are ordering spray paint for a specific part, since the wrong format or finish can create a mismatch even when the color reference is correct.

Start by cleaning the surface, removing grease or residue, and making sure it is dry. Light scuffing can help when appropriate, and masking protects adjacent areas before you apply a match of SW6186 Dried Thyme.

It is also a good idea to test on the actual surface first, especially on plastic, metal, or previously coated items. A test application helps you confirm adhesion, coverage, and how the color reads on that substrate before you coat the full part.

Confirm SW6186 Dried Thyme from a physical swatch or a known existing brand color reference, not from screen viewing alone. MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color standard, so the target color should be verified before you place the order.

If you are trying to coordinate a part, fixture, or accessory, make sure you are ordering a match of SW6186 Dried Thyme and not relying on an aged painted surface that may have changed over time.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW6186 Dried Thyme, 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.
