Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW6396 Different Gold *

Use MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to SW6396 Different Gold in light, even coats rather than one heavy coat. Hold the can at a steady distance, keep your passes overlapping, and let each coat flash off before the next one. Heavy passes can cause runs, soft edges, or a finish that looks uneven on the final item.

If you are coating a small part, fixture, or hardware piece, the same rule applies: build color gradually so the match reads cleanly and the sheen stays more consistent across the surface.

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom paint matched to SW6396 Different Gold is a practical choice for small parts and hardware where a smooth spray finish is needed. It is commonly used on items like switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, and similar removable parts.

For best results, make sure the surface is properly cleaned and prepared for the substrate you are painting. A test spray on an inconspicuous area is a good way to confirm adhesion and coverage before you paint the full part.

The right sheen depends on how the part will be used and how you want the finished surface to behave. Lower-sheen finishes usually reduce reflectivity and can make minor surface flaws less obvious, while higher-sheen finishes are easier to wipe clean but can make the color and texture read more strongly.

With SW6396 Different Gold, the gloss level can change how the match appears even when the color formula is correct. Choose the finish based on durability, cleanup needs, and how much shine you want on the finished item.

Not always. Even when the color match is correct, lighting, placement, surrounding surfaces, substrate texture, and sheen can all change how SW6396 Different Gold reads once it is on the finished item. A color can look slightly different on metal, plastic, wood, or a previously coated surface.

This is especially important if the new coating will sit next to an older painted surface. Age, wear, and gloss differences can make the finished result look different from the original target color even when the MyPerfectColor match is correct.

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the SW6396 Different Gold color name alone. If you need SDS information, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the specific product format you are ordering, such as spray paint or another available format.

If you are comparing formats, use the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor product you plan to buy because the documentation can differ by chemistry.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW6396 Different Gold, 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.
