A match of Sherwin Williams SW1217 Blue Blazer reads as a dark, cool blue-gray with a muted, low-chroma character. It has a slate-like depth rather than a bright navy look, and the low LRV means it sits on the darker side of the spectrum.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to this color can be useful on vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, railings, brackets, mailboxes, shutters, hardware, and small furniture accents. It is also a practical match for PVC pipe, access panels, and other removable parts where a consistent blue-gray finish is needed on metal, plastic, or previously coated surfaces after proper preparation.

Because this is a dark color, coverage can show through more clearly if it is sprayed over a light or uneven substrate, so even film build matters. The final appearance can also shift with sheen, surface texture, and coat thickness: a smoother finish will usually read deeper and more uniform, while a rougher substrate can make the color look a little lighter or less even.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW1217 Blue Blazer *

Can SW1217 Blue Blazer be ordered as custom spray paint for plastic parts or other difficult surfaces?

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to SW1217 Blue Blazer can be used on many plastic parts, but plastics vary a lot in surface energy and texture, so adhesion is not identical from one item to the next.

For the safest result, clean the part well, test on the actual material before full application, and use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel when you want better adhesion on plastics or other challenging substrates.

What prep is needed before applying SW1217 Blue Blazer to metal or an existing coating?

MyPerfectColor paint matched to SW1217 Blue Blazer can be applied to metal or over an existing coating, but the surface condition matters. Clean off grease, dirt, and contamination, then remove rust and any loose paint before spraying.

If the old finish is glossy or uneven, scuff sanding usually helps the new coating bond and look more even. Keep in mind that the gloss, texture, and condition of the old coating can affect how the finished SW1217 Blue Blazer match appears.

Why might SW1217 Blue Blazer look different after it is applied, even when the match is correct?

Even when MyPerfectColor has matched SW1217 Blue Blazer correctly, the finished item can still read differently because of lighting, placement, sheen, and the surfaces around it. A color that looks one way in a sample or in a different room can look slightly different once it is on the actual part.

If the item will sit next to an existing painted surface, or if the environment has strong natural light, artificial light, or mixed finishes, expect the appearance to be influenced by those conditions.

What kinds of projects work well with SW1217 Blue Blazer custom spray paint?

SW1217 Blue Blazer in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint is useful for small or awkward items that are easier to coat by spraying than by brushing.
