Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW2718 Garnet *

Yes. MyPerfectColor can make a match of SW2718 Garnet in custom spray paint for items that are awkward to brush, such as trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and removable covers.

This format is usually the practical choice when you want to coat a small part, a retrofit component, or another item that is easier to spray than to paint by hand. Keep in mind that the final appearance can still change with the substrate, surface texture, and finish of the item being coated.

Plastic can be a good candidate for MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to SW2718 Garnet, but plastics vary widely. Because of that, it is important to test on the actual part before doing the full project.

Surface prep matters, and some plastics benefit from primer to improve adhesion. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can help when you want better adhesion on a difficult plastic surface.

Coverage depends on the size of the part, the texture of the surface, how much hiding power is needed, the spray method, and how many coats you plan to apply. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

If you are comparing formats, other MyPerfectColor paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, but that is not the same as spray paint coverage. For the best order size, estimate the actual surface area and allow extra if the surface is rough, porous, dark, or uneven.

For metal or a previously coated surface, clean off dirt, grease, rust, loose material, and other contamination before applying a match of SW2718 Garnet. If the existing coating is glossy or slick, scuffing can help the new coating grip better.

The condition of the old surface can affect the result. Gloss, texture, and aging can all change how the finished color reads, especially if you are coating only one part next to an older painted area. If adhesion or condition is uncertain, test first on a small area.

The code SW2718 Garnet identifies the color target, but it does not define sheen. Finish changes reflectivity, and that can change how the same color reads on the finished item.

In practical terms, matte, satin, and gloss coatings can look different even when the color match is the same, and texture can change it as well. If you need the new coating to coordinate with an existing piece, choose the finish based on the surface you are matching, not only on the color name.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Sherwin Williams SW2718 Garnet 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 SW2718 Garnet, 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.
