Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW6251 Outerspace *

No. A MyPerfectColor match of SW6251 Outerspace can look different across finishes because matte, satin, semi-gloss, and gloss reflect light in different ways. The color match is the same reference, but the finish changes how the painted item reads once it is applied. If you want the most predictable result, choose the sheen that matches the item you are coating or the nearby finished surface.

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to SW6251 Outerspace is a practical option for small parts and hardware such as switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, knobs, brackets, trim pieces, and similar items. Spray application helps produce an even finish on pieces that are small, removable, or awkward to brush. For the best result, clean the part first, prepare the surface properly, and apply several light coats instead of one heavy coat.

Before applying a match of SW6251 Outerspace to metal or an old painted surface, make sure the part is clean, dry, and free of rust, grease, dust, and loose coating. Glossy or smooth existing finishes usually need scuffing so the new paint has a better surface to grab. The condition of the old coating, along with its gloss and texture, can change how the finished color looks. If the surface is questionable, test the prep and adhesion on a small area first.

A typical can of MyPerfectColor spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but the amount you need for SW6251 Outerspace depends on the size of the item, the surface texture, the hiding power needed, the spray method, and how many coats you plan to apply. Smooth small parts may use less material, while rough, dark, or uneven surfaces may need more. If you are coating several pieces, estimate using the total surface area and allow extra for additional coats and application waste.

No. Custom-made MyPerfectColor matches of SW6251 Outerspace are not returnable or refundable, so it is important to confirm the color reference, the product format, the sheen, and the quantity before you order. The code identifies the color target, but it does not by itself define finish or substrate preparation. If the project needs a close match on a specific item, review the order details carefully before buying.

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.
