Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW1160 Crater Gray *

Confirm SW1160 Crater Gray from a physical swatch, chip, or known existing painted reference from the original brand whenever possible. Screen color alone is not a reliable way to approve the target.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so the key purchase decision is whether SW1160 Crater Gray is the exact reference you want matched.

For spray paint matched to SW1160 Crater Gray, dry-to-touch is typically within minutes, but recoat timing is different from dry-to-touch. Plan to recoat in one to two hours.

Full cure takes longer. A sprayed finish is usually fully cured in about two weeks, so handle it accordingly if the part needs to be installed or put back into service.

Coverage depends on the size of the item, the surface texture, how well the substrate hides, the spray method, and how many coats you need. For spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

If your project includes rough, porous, or contrasting surfaces, plan for additional product rather than assuming one can will be enough.

Yes. A match of Sherwin Williams SW1160 Crater Gray can be ordered as a MyPerfectColor custom match for spray-paint projects where the goal is to coordinate an object to a known color reference.

That includes items such as baskets, frames, furniture accents, shelving, decor pieces, brackets, knobs, and other small parts where spray application is practical and a repeatable color matters.

Primer depends on the substrate, the condition of the surface, and the paint type you are using. Check the prep guidance for the specific product and material before ordering or spraying.

As a general rule, primer never hurts and can improve adhesion, but it is not always required. If you are painting a difficult or unfamiliar surface, a primer can reduce risk before applying SW1160 Crater Gray.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW1160 Crater Gray, 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.
