Match of Sherwin Williams™ LL18 Tricorn Black *

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product chemistry, not to the color name alone. For Sherwin Williams LL18 Tricorn Black, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for that product: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm.

If you are ordering spray paint or another format, use the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor product you plan to buy, since different product types can have different handling details.

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used, how durable it needs to be, and how much reflectivity you want. Lower sheen usually reduces glare and can make a match of LL18 Tricorn Black read flatter on parts like vents, grilles, brackets, and fixtures. Higher sheen is usually easier to wipe and can make surface texture or flaws more noticeable.

The color code only identifies the color target. It does not tell you the sheen, so the right choice depends on the object you are painting and how the finished surface needs to perform.

Yes, if the surface is sound and properly prepared. Clean off grease, dust, wax, and loose material first. If the old coating is glossy, scuff it so the new MyPerfectColor paint matched to Sherwin Williams LL18 Tricorn Black has something to grip. Remove rust, corrosion, and any contamination before painting.

The condition of the existing coating can affect the final result, including gloss, texture, and adhesion. This matters on metal fixtures, railings, hardware, covers, and other parts where you want a clean sprayed finish rather than a patch over a damaged surface.

Coverage depends on the size of the part, the surface texture, the color underneath, the application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. If you are painting a dark color like LL18 Tricorn Black over a light, uneven, or porous surface, plan for enough material to cover and to do a test pass first.

For larger jobs, other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon, but spray paint is usually the practical choice for smaller parts such as trim pieces, vents, switch covers, mailboxes, and fixtures.

Not exactly. Lighting, placement, sheen, texture, and nearby surfaces can all change how a match of Sherwin Williams LL18 Tricorn Black reads after it is applied. A sprayed finish on metal, plastic, wood, or a previously coated item can look different even when the color match itself is correct.

This is especially important for very dark colors, because gloss and texture differences can stand out more. If the painted item will sit next to an existing surface, the final appearance is usually best checked on the actual substrate and in the actual lighting where it will be used.
