Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW1187 Moonstone *

Confirm SW1187 Moonstone from a physical Sherwin-Williams swatch, an existing labeled sample, or another known color reference rather than relying on a screen image. MyPerfectColor matches to the selected brand color reference, so verifying the target first helps avoid ordering the wrong match for your project.

If the part will be sprayed separately, make sure you are confirming the color for the actual item you plan to coat, not just the nearby wall or fixture.

Start by cleaning the surface, removing grease, dust, and loose material. If the surface is smooth and the material allows it, lightly scuff it, then mask anything that should stay uncoated. Test MyPerfectColor's match of SW1187 Moonstone on the actual surface before coating the full part.

That basic prep helps on items like trim pieces, hardware, vents, brackets, and other small components where spray application is practical and the surface condition affects how the color lays down.

Yes, SW1187 Moonstone can be used on many plastic parts, but plastics vary a lot, so test on the actual material first. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion when you want extra prep help on a difficult surface.

This is especially important for low-energy plastics and for parts like covers, housings, grilles, and other molded pieces where adhesion is more important than the color name alone.

Before ordering, confirm the exact brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen you need, and the quantity. SW1187 Moonstone identifies the color target, but it does not by itself define the product format or finish.

Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is worth checking those details before you place the order for spray paint or another format.

MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to SW1187 Moonstone is typically dry to the touch within minutes, can usually be recoated in one to two hours, and is fully cured in about two weeks.

Dry to touch, recoat time, and full cure are different stages, so do not treat them as the same thing when planning handling or assembly of the coated part.

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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW1187 Moonstone, 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.
