Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW1156 Flannel Gray *

Yes. MyPerfectColor can supply a match of SW1156 Flannel Gray for spray-paint projects on many plastic parts. Plastics vary widely, so it is best to test the exact material before painting the full item.

For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel, especially on low-energy plastics or other difficult substrates. That is a practical step for items like vents, covers, brackets, or removable fixtures where spray application is easier than brushing.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product and chemistry, not to the SW1156 Flannel Gray color name by itself. Check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the exact product you plan to order.

If you are ordering spray paint, verify the SDS for that spray product rather than assuming the brand color reference alone is enough. Different formats can have different chemistry, so the correct SDS should match the actual item you are buying.

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used, how easy it needs to be to clean, and how much reflection you want on the finished item. Higher sheens are usually easier to wipe down and show more gloss, while flatter finishes reduce reflection.

The selected sheen can change how SW1156 Flannel Gray reads on a painted pipe, grille, cover, or hardware piece, so order the finish that fits the application rather than treating sheen as cosmetic only.

Plan coverage from the actual surface area, texture, and the number of coats you expect to need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but rough, porous, or hard-to-hide surfaces can use more paint because they need extra material and extra passes.

Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet, but the right quantity still depends on the substrate and application method. For small parts like trim pieces, fixtures, or accessories, it is often better to allow a little extra for test spraying and touch-up on the project itself.

It can read differently once it is on the part. Even when the color match is correct, lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces can change how SW1156 Flannel Gray appears on the finished item.

This matters most when the painted piece will sit beside an existing wall, cabinet, or fixture, or when the part will be viewed in a different location than where it was sprayed. If the installation context is important, evaluate the finished piece in the actual location before approving the final result.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Sherwin Williams SW1156 Flannel Gray 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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW1156 Flannel 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.
