Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW1031 Modern Gray *

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product or chemistry you are ordering, not to the Sherwin Williams color name alone. For SW1031 Modern Gray, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the exact product type you plan to buy. If you are comparing formats, confirm the SDS matches the specific paint or spray product, not just the color reference.

Choose sheen based on how the item will be used and how much reflection you want, not just on the SW1031 Modern Gray color name. Flatter sheens usually hide surface marks better and look less reflective, while satin and semi-gloss usually clean more easily and show more sheen. The sheen also changes how SW1031 Modern Gray reads on the finished item.

If you are coating a part next to an existing painted surface, match the existing sheen as closely as possible to reduce visible differences. For a new item, pick the sheen that fits the wear, cleanup, and appearance needs of that surface.

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to SW1031 Modern Gray is a practical option for small parts where a smooth, even finish is important, such as switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, knobs, brackets, trim pieces, and similar items. Spray application is often easier than brushing on parts with edges, cutouts, or detailed shapes.

For the best result, clean the part well, use the right primer for the substrate, and apply light coats so the color builds evenly without runs or heavy texture.

Before you order SW1031 Modern Gray, confirm the exact brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity. MyPerfectColor is making a custom match of SW1031 Modern Gray, not selling Sherwin Williams original paint, so the details you select determine what you receive.

Custom-made color orders should be chosen carefully because they are not returnable or refundable after they are made. Double-check the product type and finish before submitting the order.

MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but plastic types vary widely, so test on the actual part first. Clean and degrease the surface, then use the MyPerfectColor primer for better adhesion when the substrate is difficult or unknown.

A small test piece is the safest way to confirm adhesion and appearance before coating the full item. MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/en/product/995031-Primer-for-Acrylic-Enamel/

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW1031 Modern 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.
