Match of Sherwin Williams™ HGSW2082 Red Cent *

Finish changes reflectivity, so the same HGSW2082 Red Cent match can read differently on the finished item. Lower sheen finishes usually look less reflective and can hide surface texture better, while higher sheen finishes reflect more light and can make the color read brighter or sharper.

The color code by itself does not define sheen. If you are coating a part to match an existing painted surface, compare the finish as well as the color reference before ordering.

Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint can work on many plastic parts, but plastic type varies a lot. Clean and degrease the part first, and test on the actual material before doing the full project.

Using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can improve adhesion on difficult plastics and is a good choice when the surface is smooth or low-energy. The best result depends on the specific plastic, so a test piece is the safest way to confirm adhesion and appearance.

HGSW2082 Red Cent in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint is useful for small parts and awkward shapes such as trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and similar items that are easier to spray than brush.

It is also practical for coordinated parts made from metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated surfaces when the item can be properly prepared. For a part that will sit next to an existing painted surface, keep in mind that age, texture, and finish can make the final appearance differ even when the color match is correct.

MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to HGSW2082 Red Cent is typically dry to the touch within minutes, but dry to the touch is not the same as ready for another coat or full handling.

Plan to recoat in about 1 to 2 hours and allow about two weeks for full cure. If the part will be handled, assembled, or installed soon after painting, give it more time so the finish is less likely to mark or soften.

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product or chemistry, not to the HGSW2082 Red Cent color name alone. That means you should use the SDS for the exact format you are buying, such as spray paint or another product type.

MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets are available on the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page. If you are deciding between formats, check the SDS for the one you plan to order before use.

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 HGSW2082 Red Cent, 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.
