Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW1201 Magic Night *

Confirm SW1201 Magic Night from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference from Sherwin Williams, not from a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color standard, so the key ordering step is making sure SW1201 Magic Night is the exact target you want before you place the order.

For MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to SW1201 Magic Night, plan on dry-to-touch in minutes, recoating in about 1 to 2 hours, and full cure in about 2 weeks. These are different milestones, so a part can feel dry before it is ready for full handling or heavy use.

For metal or a previously coated surface, clean off dust, grease, rust, and other contamination first, then scuff glossy areas so the new coating can bond better. The condition of the old coating, along with its gloss and texture, can affect how SW1201 Magic Night looks after application, so test on the actual part when the surface is in question.

Yes, SW1201 Magic Night can be used on many plastics, but plastics vary widely and some need different prep or primer for reliable adhesion. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can improve adhesion when the material is difficult or the surface is especially smooth. Test on the actual plastic part first if the substrate is unfamiliar.

Choose the sheen based on the part's use and the finish you need, because gloss level changes both durability and how SW1201 Magic Night reads on the finished item. Higher sheens are usually easier to clean and more reflective, while lower sheens reduce reflectivity. If you are matching a nearby painted part, remember that sheen and texture can make the same color look different even when the color match is correct.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW1201 Magic Night, 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.

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.
