Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW1569 Soft Heather *

Coverage depends on the size of the item, surface texture, how well the color hides, your spray technique, and how many coats you need. As a planning rule, a typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

For MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to SW1569 Soft Heather, start by estimating the total painted area and then add extra if the surface is rough, porous, dark, or likely to need more than one coat. Small parts may only need one can, while larger or more detailed projects often need more.

Dry-to-touch, recoat time, and full cure are different steps. For MyPerfectColor SW1569 Soft Heather spray paint, it is typically dry to the touch within minutes, ready for a recoat in one to two hours, and fully cured in about two weeks.

If you are painting a part that needs handling between coats, allow enough time so the previous coat is dry enough to avoid fingerprints, lifting, or uneven build.

Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to SW1569 Soft Heather can be used on many plastics, but plastics vary widely. Test on the actual part first if the finish is important, because different plastic resins and surface treatments can change adhesion.

For better bonding on difficult plastic, use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel before painting. That is especially useful when the part is smooth, flexible, or low-energy.

Clean the surface first, then remove loose rust, dirt, oil, and contamination. If the metal is smooth or the old coating is glossy, light scuffing helps the new MyPerfectColor match of SW1569 Soft Heather stick more reliably.

Keep in mind that the condition of the old coating, plus its gloss and texture, can affect how the final color reads. If the existing surface is failing, peeling, or heavily rusted, address that before painting.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and its chemistry, not to the SW1569 Soft Heather color name by itself. After you choose the product format you want, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the exact item you ordered.

If you need the SDS for ordering or jobsite paperwork, use the SDS for the specific MyPerfectColor paint product rather than assuming one SDS covers every format.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW1569 Soft Heather, 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.
