Match of Sherwin Williams™ HGSW2453 Kinley Gray *

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used and how much reflectivity you want. Lower-gloss finishes usually hide small surface flaws better and look less reflective, while higher-gloss finishes are easier to wipe clean but can make texture, seams, and prep issues more noticeable. With a match of HGSW2453 Kinley Gray, the finish can also change how the color reads on the finished item, so compare the intended gloss level to the surface and use case before you order.

MyPerfectColor supplies its own paint matched to HGSW2453 Kinley Gray, so pick the product format and finish that fit the project rather than assuming the color name tells you the sheen.

Coverage depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paint formats often cover about 400 to 600 square feet per coat. If the surface is rough, porous, dark, or uneven, plan for more material because a match of HGSW2453 Kinley Gray may take extra coats to look even.

For the safest order, estimate the total square footage, then add room for test spray-outs, edges, and any second coat you expect to need. That helps avoid running short after prep and application begin.

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor paint product and chemistry, not to the Sherwin Williams color name by itself. If you need the safety information for a match of HGSW2453 Kinley Gray, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the product you plan to order.

Use light, even coats and keep the spray moving so the film builds gradually. Hold a consistent distance from the surface, overlap each pass slightly, and avoid heavy wet passes that can cause runs, uneven sheen, or color buildup. This is especially important for a match of HGSW2453 Kinley Gray on small parts, hardware, vents, grilles, pipe, or other detailed items where the finish can show mistakes quickly.

If the part has edges, recesses, or mixed materials, apply several controlled coats instead of trying to cover everything in one pass. That usually gives a more even result and better control over the final appearance.

It should match the HGSW2453 Kinley Gray reference, but the finished appearance can still change with lighting, sheen, surface texture, and nearby materials. The same color can look lighter, darker, warmer, or cooler depending on whether it is viewed indoors or outdoors, in direct light or shadow, and on smooth or textured surfaces.

If the part will sit next to an existing painted surface, expect some visual shift even when the color match is correct. That is normal with any custom-matched paint, including MyPerfectColor paint matched to HGSW2453 Kinley Gray.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams HGSW2453 Kinley Gray, 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.
