MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets

Coverage for SW1301 Rouge Red depends on surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. If you are using spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paint formats commonly cover about 400 to 600 square feet per unit, but rough or porous surfaces usually require more product and more than one coat.

For ordering, it is safer to plan a little extra if the part is textured, dark, porous, or likely to need multiple coats for even coverage.

Primer for SW1301 Rouge Red depends on the substrate, surface condition, and the MyPerfectColor product format you are using. Primer is more likely to help on bare, repaired, glossy, porous, or difficult surfaces, and it can improve adhesion and uniformity. It is not always required, so check the prep guidance for the specific product you plan to order.

As a rule of thumb, primer never hurts and can only improve adhesion, but the right choice still depends on the project.

Do not rely on a screen image alone to confirm SW1301 Rouge Red. Verify the target color from a physical swatch, a known existing painted sample, or another trusted original brand reference before ordering.

MyPerfectColor matches its paint to the original brand color standard, so the main decision is whether SW1301 Rouge Red is the exact color reference you want, not whether the online image looks close.

When applying SW1301 Rouge Red as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint, use light, even coats and keep a consistent spray distance. Overlap passes slightly and avoid heavy wet passes, since they can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy color build.

If the part is small, detailed, or removable, test your motion on scrap first so you can check spray pattern and coverage before coating the final item.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Sherwin Williams SW1301 Rouge Red in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

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. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. 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 SW1301 Rouge Red, 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.
