Match of Sherwin Williams™ HGSW3473 Dovetail *

Coverage depends on the size of the item, the surface texture, how well the substrate hides, the spray technique, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but real-world coverage can be lower on rough, porous, or uneven surfaces.

If you are coating a larger area, or if the part is dark, glossy, or heavily textured, plan for extra material so you do not run short before the color is fully covered. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to HGSW3473 Dovetail is also available in other formats for projects that need more than a small spray-paint quantity.

Yes. Finish affects reflectivity, and reflectivity changes how a match of HGSW3473 Dovetail reads on the finished item. The same color can look different in matte, satin, or glossier coatings because the surface reflects light differently.

For ordering purposes, treat sheen as a practical product choice, not just a style choice. If you are trying to coordinate a sprayed part with another painted surface, the finish on the new coating should be considered along with the color match itself.

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to HGSW3473 Dovetail is a practical option for baskets, frames, shelving, decor pieces, furniture accents, and similar items where spray application is easier than brushing.

This is a good fit when the goal is to coordinate a small object or accessory to a known paint color reference, not to order the original Sherwin Williams paint product. For removable or detailed parts, spray paint is often the simplest way to apply a match of HGSW3473 Dovetail evenly.

Plastics vary a lot, so the right prep depends on the actual material. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but you should test on the real part first because some plastics are harder to bond to than others.

Using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can improve adhesion on difficult substrates. If the part is a low-energy surface or an unfamiliar plastic, test fit and adhesion before coating the full item so you can reduce the risk of peeling or poor holdout.

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the Sherwin Williams color name alone. To get the correct SDS for a match of HGSW3473 Dovetail, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the specific product you are ordering.

If you are comparing formats, make sure you are looking at the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor paint product, since SDS information can differ by chemistry and product type.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams HGSW3473 Dovetail, 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.
