Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW1685 Neon Light *

The right finish depends on how the part will be used and how much reflectivity you want on the finished surface. A glossier finish is usually easier to wipe clean and can feel more durable, while a lower sheen reduces shine but may show less reflection from the surface. Because SW1685 Neon Light is a vivid color, the gloss level can change how bright it appears after application.

If you are matching a specific item, choose the finish that fits the project first, then order MyPerfectColor paint matched to SW1685 Neon Light in that format.

Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint can work on many plastic items, but plastics vary widely and some need extra prep or a primer for better adhesion. For difficult or low-energy plastics, testing on the actual part is the safest way to reduce risk before painting the full item.

If adhesion matters, use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel to improve bonding, then apply the matched SW1685 Neon Light coating in light coats after the surface is properly cleaned and prepared.

Not always. Once SW1685 Neon Light is applied, lighting, sheen, placement, and the colors around it can change how the match reads on the finished item. The same color can look brighter, duller, warmer, or more reflective depending on where it is used.

If the part will sit right next to an existing painted surface, or if lighting is critical, it is better to expect some visual change from the environment even when the color match itself is correct.

Confirm SW1685 Neon Light from a physical swatch from the original brand or from a known existing color reference, not from a screen alone. MyPerfectColor matches to the selected brand color standard, so the target color should be verified before you place the order.

The code and name identify the color reference, but they do not define sheen, product line, or how an old painted surface may have aged. If those details matter, verify the exact reference first and then order the MyPerfectColor match.

Use light, even coats, keep a steady spray distance, and overlap passes consistently to reduce runs and uneven sheen. Heavy coats can cause buildup, dull areas, or a muddy-looking finish, especially with a vivid color like SW1685 Neon Light.

Allow each coat to flash before applying the next one. If you are coating a dark or uneven substrate, expect that SW1685 Neon Light may need extra coats for even coverage.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Sherwin Williams SW1685 Neon Light 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.

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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW1685 Neon Light, 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.
