Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW6701 Moonraker *

Confirm SW6701 Moonraker from a physical swatch or another known original brand color reference whenever possible. Screen colors can vary by device and lighting, so on-screen viewing is not the best way to approve the target. MyPerfectColor matches to the selected brand color reference, so verify the exact color code and make sure you also choose the right product format and finish for your project.

This is a MyPerfectColor custom match of SW6701 Moonraker, not the original Sherwin Williams paint product.

Yes, SW6701 Moonraker can be used on many plastic parts, but plastics vary a lot and some are harder to coat than others. Because of that, it is smart to test the paint on the actual plastic before painting the full item. Cleaning the surface well is important, and using MyPerfectColor primer can help improve adhesion on difficult plastics.

If the part is flexible, oily, or has an unknown finish, a test piece is the safest way to confirm how SW6701 Moonraker will perform on that specific surface.

Before applying SW6701 Moonraker to metal or a previously painted surface, clean off dust, grease, and other contamination. If the surface is sound and glossy, light scuffing usually helps the new coating grab better. Remove rust and any loose or failing paint before you coat.

The condition of the old coating, along with its gloss and texture, can affect how SW6701 Moonraker looks after application. If the existing surface is in poor condition or you are unsure what it is, a test area is the best way to reduce risk.

No. A match of Sherwin Williams SW6701 Moonraker can read differently in matte, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss because finish changes how light reflects off the surface. The color formula can stay the same, but the finished look can still change once the coating is applied.

If you are matching an existing painted item, try to match the sheen as well as the color code. That helps the finished SW6701 Moonraker project look closer to the surface you are coordinating with.

Coverage for SW6701 Moonraker depends on the size of the surface, texture, application method, the hiding power of the color, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paint formats usually cover about 400 to 600 square feet, but actual coverage can vary.

For rough surfaces, dark-to-light changes, or parts with edges and recesses, plan for extra material so you do not run short before the job is complete.

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 SW6701 Moonraker, 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.
