Choose the finish based on how the item will be used, not just on the color name. With SW2118 Gunmetal Gray, a lower-gloss finish usually gives less reflectivity and can be easier to clean on some surfaces, while a higher-gloss finish is typically more reflective and can make surface flaws more noticeable.

Keep in mind that gloss level changes how the matched color reads on the finished item. A match of SW2118 Gunmetal Gray in spray paint or another MyPerfectColor format can look different across matte, satin, semi-gloss, and gloss finishes, so confirm the finish before ordering.

Even when the color match is correct, SW2118 Gunmetal Gray can read differently after application depending on lighting, sheen, substrate texture, and the colors around it. That is normal and does not mean the match is wrong.

If the finished item will sit beside an existing painted surface, the difference in age, gloss, and texture can make the result look more or less noticeable. For the best read, evaluate the MyPerfectColor match of SW2118 Gunmetal Gray on the actual item and in the actual location where it will be used.

Before ordering SW2118 Gunmetal Gray, confirm the exact color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the finish, and the quantity you need. A custom-matched order is made to your selected reference, so it is important to verify those details before checkout.

Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so careful review matters most when you are matching SW2118 Gunmetal Gray for a specific project, part, or surface.

For MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to SW2118 Gunmetal Gray, dry-to-touch, recoat time, and full cure are different stages. The spray paint is typically dry to touch within minutes, should be recoated in 1 to 2 hours, and is fully cured in about 2 weeks.

If you are painting parts that will be handled, stacked, or installed right away, plan around the cure time, not just the dry-to-touch time, so the finish on SW2118 Gunmetal Gray has time to harden fully.

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.
