Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW7552 Bauhaus Buff *

If you already selected SW7552 Bauhaus Buff, the finished item can still read differently once it is painted. Lighting, sheen, texture, and nearby surfaces can make the same MyPerfectColor match look lighter, warmer, or less uniform than it did on the original swatch.

For the most reliable result, judge SW7552 Bauhaus Buff on the actual part and in the lighting where it will be used. If the painted item sits next to an older coated surface, differences in aging, gloss, or substrate can become more noticeable even when the color match itself is correct.

Yes. A match of Sherwin Williams SW7552 Bauhaus Buff is a practical choice for MyPerfectColor custom spray paint when you need a smooth, durable finish on small parts such as switch covers, vents, knobs, brackets, speaker grilles, or trim pieces. Spray paint is often the easiest format for parts that are awkward to brush or need an even finish.

Make sure the part is cleaned and prepped correctly, then choose the spray format when the project calls for a professional sprayed coating instead of brush application. MyPerfectColor is supplying a custom-matched paint based on the selected Sherwin Williams color reference, not the original Sherwin Williams paint product.

Choose the sheen based on how the item will be used and how much wear it will see. With SW7552 Bauhaus Buff, flatter finishes usually reduce reflectivity and can help hide minor surface irregularities, while glossier finishes are generally easier to wipe clean and can make the same color read a bit brighter or more reflective.

If the part will be handled often, cleaned regularly, or installed where strong light hits it, sheen choice can matter as much as the color match. Check the available product options at order time so you select the MyPerfectColor finish that fits the substrate and the job.

For MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to SW7552 Bauhaus Buff, the paint is typically dry to the touch within minutes. It should generally be recoated in one to two hours, and it reaches full cure in about two weeks.

Dry to touch, recoat, and fully cured are different stages, so do not assume the item is ready for hard handling as soon as it feels dry. If the part will be assembled, stacked, or installed right away, allow extra time so the coating is less likely to mark or shift.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product you are ordering, not to the SW7552 Bauhaus Buff color name by itself. If you need safety information, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the specific paint product or chemistry version you plan to buy.

If you are comparing formats, make sure you are looking at the SDS for the exact product type, such as spray paint, because the document should match the coating you will actually use.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW7552 Bauhaus Buff, 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.
