Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW6189 Opaline *

Use light, even coats rather than one heavy pass. Keep the can moving at a consistent speed, overlap each pass slightly, and stop before the surface looks wet or overloaded. Heavy coats can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy look in SW6189 Opaline. If the part is small, awkward, or highly visible, a test spray on a sample piece can help you confirm coverage and flow before you coat the final item.

Choose the sheen based on the part, the expected wear, and the look you want on the finished item. Sheen changes how SW6189 Opaline reflects light, how washable it is, and how the color reads after it is applied. If you are matching an existing coated item, try to match the sheen as closely as possible, because the same color in a different sheen can look noticeably different on the finished surface.

Start with a clean surface. Remove dirt, grease, wax, and other contamination, then scuff glossy or slick areas so the new coating can grip. If you see rust, peeling paint, or a failing old finish, address that first because SW6189 Opaline can still show problems in the base layer. The condition of the old coating, the surface texture, and the primer you use can all affect the final appearance, so a small test area is a good idea when the substrate is uncertain.

Plan quantity around the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and the number of coats you expect to need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, but real coverage can be lower on rough, porous, dark, or heavily textured surfaces. If you are coating edges, profiles, or irregular parts, allow extra paint so you do not run short before the job is complete.

Custom-made color matches should be confirmed carefully before ordering because they are not returnable or refundable. Before you place the order for SW6189 Opaline, verify the color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need. Also make sure you are ordering a MyPerfectColor match of the selected Sherwin Williams color, not the original brand's paint product line.

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.

If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW6189 Opaline, 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.
