Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW2242 Frothy Surf *

Use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets for the exact paint product you are ordering. The SDS applies to the MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint for SW2242 Frothy Surf, not to the Sherwin-Williams color name by itself.

For this product, MyPerfectColor lists Safety Data Sheets here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm. Review the SDS for the specific MyPerfectColor format you plan to use before handling, storing, or applying the paint.

Clean the surface first so dirt, oil, wax, and loose contamination do not interfere with adhesion. If the metal has rust, corrosion, or peeling paint, remove or stabilize those areas before coating. If the existing finish is glossy or very smooth, scuff sanding helps the new coat bond more reliably.

The condition of the old coating can affect the final result. A stable, well-adhered coating is usually a better base than a failing one, and texture or sheen differences in the old surface can still show through after the new SW2242 Frothy Surf match is applied. If the part is bare metal, use an appropriate primer before applying the color coat.

The color reference stays the same, but the finished appearance can still change with lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces. A match of Sherwin Williams SW2242 Frothy Surf may read differently in direct sun, shade, indoor light, or against contrasting materials, even when the paint match is correct.

If the item will sit next to an existing painted surface, remember that age, gloss, and texture can make the two surfaces look less identical after application. For the most reliable result, judge the match on the actual part in the actual location where it will be used.

Coverage depends on the size of the item, the texture of the surface, the hiding power needed, the application method, and how many coats are required. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, but the exact amount still depends on the job.

For small parts such as vents, switch covers, hardware, brackets, or similar pieces, you may need much less than a full project coating. Rough or porous surfaces, or parts that need extra hiding, usually require more paint than smooth surfaces.

Plastics vary widely, so test on the actual part before painting the full item. MyPerfectColor spray paint adheres well to most plastics, but surface prep can still make a big difference, and some plastics need more than basic cleaning to get reliable adhesion.

If you want better adhesion on a difficult surface, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/en/product/995031-Primer-for-Acrylic-Enamel/. A test piece is still the safest way to confirm how SW2242 Frothy Surf will look and hold on the exact plastic you are coating.

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.

It sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW2242 Frothy Surf, 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.
