A match of Sherwin Williams SW1014 Hematite is a very dark, low-chroma gray that reads close to charcoal or graphite, with a faint green cast in the undertone. It is subdued rather than clean or bright, and the color can look slightly different depending on finish, substrate, and lighting.
MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to SW1014 Hematite works well on smaller sprayable parts where a deep neutral is needed. Common uses include HVAC vents, switch plates, railings, brackets, mailbox components, speaker grilles, shelf hardware, trim pieces, and PVC or plastic accessories that need to coordinate with an existing dark surface.
Because this is a dark color, thin coverage over light or uneven substrates can leave contrast showing at edges, corners, or worn spots. On smooth or glossy parts, surface flaws and sheen differences may be more noticeable, so prep and even film build matter when the finished piece needs a consistent read.

Confirm SW1014 Hematite from a physical swatch from the original brand or from a known existing color reference, not from how it looks on a screen. MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard, so the key ordering step is making sure SW1014 Hematite is the exact target you want before you buy.
If you are matching an existing item, compare against the actual sample or reference piece you plan to coordinate. The code by itself does not tell you sheen, product line, or how the color will look on a finished surface.
A match of Sherwin Williams SW1014 Hematite can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for many plastic projects, but plastics vary a lot. Test on the actual material first because some plastics need different prep or primer than others.
For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer designed for this type of project before applying the color coat. A test panel or hidden area is the safest way to confirm adhesion and appearance on your specific plastic item.
MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to SW1014 Hematite is typically dry to the touch within minutes, but dry to touch is not the same as ready for recoating or full handling. Plan to recoat in about one to two hours.
Full curing can take about two weeks. If the part will be handled, assembled, or put back into service, allow for that cure time whenever possible so the finish can harden properly.
Coverage depends on the size of the item, surface texture, how much hide is needed, how you spray, and how many coats you apply. For planning purposes, a typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.
If you are coating a larger item or a rough surface, plan for extra material. If the project is a complete part or fixture and not just a small accent area, estimate coverage conservatively so you do not run short before the finish is complete.
Safety Data Sheets are tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product and chemistry, not to the SW1014 Hematite color name alone. To get the correct SDS, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the product you plan to order.
If you are choosing between formats, make sure you are reviewing the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor product you will use, since the documentation can differ by chemistry and format.
