Match of Sherwin Williams™ HGSW1472 Slate Tile *

Choose the finish based on the surface and the look you need, because sheen changes how HGSW1472 Slate Tile reads on the finished item. Higher gloss usually reflects more light, is easier to wipe clean, and can make the color look a little different than a flatter finish. Lower gloss or flat finishes reduce reflection and can help hide surface variation, but they are not as easy to clean. If you are matching a visible part such as a vent, cover, or fixture, pick the sheen that best fits the actual object, not just the color name.

Confirm HGSW1472 Slate Tile from a physical swatch or from a known existing color reference from the original brand, not from a screen view alone. MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard, so the key step is making sure you have the correct target color before you place the order. If the item you are matching has aged, faded, or was painted long ago, compare it against the brand reference first so you do not order the wrong color target.

Custom-made color orders should be chosen carefully because a MyPerfectColor match of HGSW1472 Slate Tile is made to order and is not returnable or refundable. Before buying, verify the color reference, the product format, the sheen, and the quantity you need. That check matters even more if you are ordering for a specific part or a project where a wrong match would delay the work.

Plastics vary widely, so it is best to test HGSW1472 Slate Tile on the actual material before painting a finished part. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but prep and substrate type can still change adhesion. Using the MyPerfectColor primer can help improve adhesion, especially on difficult or low-energy plastic surfaces. If the part is important, test a small area first so you can confirm coverage and adhesion before coating the whole item.

Use light, even coats and keep a consistent distance as you spray HGSW1472 Slate Tile. Overlap passes slightly and avoid heavy wet coats, since too much material at once can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking build. This approach is useful for items such as vents, switch covers, hardware, PVC pipe, railings, and other removable parts where a smooth spray finish matters more than brush marks. Let each coat dry or flash per the product directions before adding the next coat.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams HGSW1472 Slate Tile, 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.
