Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW1084 Bison *

Before you order SW1084 Bison, confirm the Sherwin Williams color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity you need. MyPerfectColor is supplying a custom-matched paint made to match SW1084 Bison, not the original Sherwin Williams paint product.

Custom color orders are typically not returnable or refundable, so it is important to verify the reference and the finish before you buy. This matters even more if you are coating several parts and want them all to use the same color target.

Whether you need primer for SW1084 Bison depends on the substrate, its condition, and the paint type you chose. A primer never hurts and can improve adhesion, but it is not always required.

Primer is especially worth considering on bare, patched, porous, slick, or unfamiliar surfaces. If you are painting plastic, metal, or a previously coated part, check the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product and test on the actual surface when the material is uncertain.

Finish changes how much light reflects from the surface, so the same SW1084 Bison match can look different in matte, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss. This is a practical coating choice, not just a visual preference.

If you are coating a vent cover, pipe, grille, fixture, or other removable part, choose the sheen that fits the item and expect the perceived color to shift with reflectivity and surface texture. If appearance must be judged beside an existing coated surface, test first because sheen can change how the match is perceived.

Coverage for SW1084 Bison depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and the number of coats needed. As a general rule, a typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paints often cover about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon.

For small parts like covers, brackets, vents, mailboxes, or fixtures, estimate by total surface area rather than by the size of the item alone. Rough or porous surfaces, or a strong color change, usually need more material than a smooth surface with similar dimensions.

Yes, but plastics vary widely, so it is important to test SW1084 Bison on the actual material before committing to the full job. MyPerfectColor spray paint adheres well to most plastics, but slick or low-energy plastics can behave differently.

Using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on plastic and other challenging substrates. This is a practical step for items like covers, grilles, fixtures, and small accessories where spray application is the easiest way to apply a match of SW1084 Bison.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Sherwin Williams SW1084 Bison 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.

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 SW1084 Bison, 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.
