Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW6188 Shade-grown *

Confirm SW6188 Shade-grown from a physical swatch, a known existing paint reference, or another trusted original brand reference rather than from a screen image. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so the best way to avoid ordering the wrong color is to verify the target color first.

If you are matching an existing painted item, remember that age, fading, gloss, and surface texture can make the old finish look different from the original color standard.

For metal or an already coated surface, clean off dirt, oil, wax, and other contamination first. Remove rust and loose coating, then scuff sound glossy areas so the new coating can grip better.

A match of Sherwin Williams SW6188 Shade-grown is a color reference, but the final appearance will also depend on the condition of the old coating, the substrate, and the finish on the part. If the existing coating is failing or peeling, repair or remove it before painting.

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so testing on the actual part is important. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can improve adhesion on difficult or unknown surfaces.

If the plastic is flexible, slick, or heavily molded, do a test application first so you can confirm adhesion and final appearance before painting the whole item.

Coverage depends on the size of the item, how smooth or textured it is, how much hiding the color needs, the application method, and how many coats you plan to apply.

A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paints typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet, but rough, porous, or dark surfaces may require more material and additional coats.

Yes. A match of Sherwin Williams SW6188 Shade-grown can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for small parts and hardware where you want a durable spray-applied finish on items like switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, and similar components.

For these projects, make sure the part is clean and ready for paint, and remember that surface texture and sheen can change how the finished color reads compared with the original reference.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW6188 Shade-grown, 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.
