Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW1021 Hi-tech Black *

Confirm SW1021 Hi-tech Black from a physical swatch, fan deck, or another known Sherwin Williams color reference whenever possible. Screen images can shift with lighting and device settings, so they are not a reliable ordering reference.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, not to an on-screen impression. If the target surface is already painted, verify whether you want the original color standard or the look of the existing aged surface, since those can differ.

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used, not from the color name alone. A match of Sherwin Williams SW1021 Hi-tech Black will look different in matte, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss because higher sheen increases reflectivity and makes the color read a little deeper and shinier, while lower sheen looks flatter and can hide surface marks better.

If you are matching an existing painted part, try to match both the color target and the sheen as closely as possible. For a handled or cleaned item, a more durable finish may be practical; for trim or decorative pieces, a lower sheen may reduce glare and show fewer surface flaws.

Yes, SW1021 Hi-tech Black can be ordered as MyPerfectColor spray paint for many plastic projects, but plastics vary a lot. Because some plastics are slick, flexible, or difficult to bond to, it is important to test on the actual part before painting the full item.

Clean the surface well, follow the prep steps for the specific plastic, and use the MyPerfectColor primer for better adhesion when needed. A primer is especially helpful when the plastic surface is low-energy or when you want a more reliable bond on a part that will be handled.

For metal or a previously coated surface, start by cleaning off dirt, oil, wax, and other contamination. Remove loose paint or rust, and scuff the surface if the existing coating is sound but too smooth for good adhesion.

With SW1021 Hi-tech Black, the final look can also be affected by the old surface texture, gloss, and condition. A test spot is a good idea when the new coating will sit next to old paint, because gloss changes and wear can make the finished result read differently even when the color match is correct.

Yes. A match of Sherwin Williams SW1021 Hi-tech Black is a good candidate for MyPerfectColor custom spray paint when you need to coordinate baskets, frames, shelving, brackets, hardware, decor pieces, or other small items to a known color target.

Spray application is often the easiest way to coat removable or awkward parts evenly. For handled items or accessories that will be cleaned often, pick a finish that fits the wear level you expect, and make sure the surface is prepped so the coating can bond properly.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW1021 Hi-tech Black, 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.
