Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW1008 Cinder Block *

Confirm SW1008 Cinder Block from a physical Sherwin Williams swatch, an existing painted sample, or another known brand reference rather than from a screen image alone. Screen viewing can shift the color, so a MyPerfectColor order should start from the real target reference you want matched.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom match of SW1008 Cinder Block in its own paint. The code identifies the color target, but it does not define sheen, product line, or how an old painted surface will look today.

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product, not to the SW1008 Cinder Block color name by itself. You can find the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page here: Safety Data Sheets.

If you are ordering a match of SW1008 Cinder Block in spray paint or another format, check the SDS for that specific product before use.

Finish changes how much light the coated surface reflects, so a match of SW1008 Cinder Block can look different in matte, satin, or glossier versions even when the color formula is the same. The color target stays SW1008 Cinder Block, but the sheen changes the way the finished item reads in use.

That matters on real parts such as PVC pipe, vents, switch covers, hardware, mailboxes, brackets, or removable panels. If the item will sit next to an existing painted surface, try to keep the sheen and the substrate as similar as possible to reduce visible differences.

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used and how much cleanup or wear it will see. Lower sheen options usually hide small surface flaws better, while higher sheen options are easier to wipe clean but can reflect more light and make the finish read differently.

For SW1008 Cinder Block, that means the right choice depends on the object you are painting, such as trim pieces, fixtures, hardware, speakers, grilles, or removable parts. If you are matching an existing painted item, select a sheen that is as close as practical to the surrounding surface so the match looks consistent after application.

If you order a match of Sherwin Williams SW1008 Cinder Block as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint, expect it to be dry to the touch within minutes. Recoat time is usually 1 to 2 hours, and full cure is about two weeks.

Use those milestones separately when planning your project. An item can feel dry before it is ready for another coat, and it can be recoated before it is fully cured. That matters for parts like vents, pipe, brackets, hardware, and other removable pieces that may need several coats to cover evenly.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Sherwin Williams SW1008 Cinder Block in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

It sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW1008 Cinder Block, 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.
