Match of Sherwin Williams™ NN08 Escape Gray *

Confirm NN08 Escape Gray from a physical Sherwin Williams swatch or from a known existing painted reference, not from a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so the most important step is making sure NN08 Escape Gray is the exact target before you place the order.

If you are matching an existing part, use the actual color reference that was used originally whenever possible. The color code by itself does not define sheen, product line, or how an aged surface will look.

Finish changes how much light the coating reflects, so NN08 Escape Gray can read differently after application even when the color match is correct. A glossier finish will usually look more reflective, while a flatter finish will look less reflective and can make the color appear more muted.

The same color can also look different on smooth versus textured surfaces. If appearance matters on the finished part, confirm the sheen before ordering and test the coating on the actual surface whenever practical.

Before ordering NN08 Escape Gray, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format, the sheen, and the quantity you need. Custom-matched orders are made to your selected color reference, so it is best to verify those details first rather than trying to correct them after the order is placed.

For NN08 Escape Gray, that means making sure you want a match of that Sherwin Williams color and that the format you choose fits the project, such as spray paint for small parts, removable components, or other items that are easier to coat off the main surface.

Clean the surface first, remove oil or grease, and lightly scuff it where appropriate so the coating can adhere better. Mask off adjacent areas that should not be painted, and test NN08 Escape Gray on the actual surface before doing a larger application when the substrate is unfamiliar or high visibility.

This matters on real-world items such as PVC pipe, vents, hardware, brackets, and other small parts where spray application is practical. Good prep helps the match perform more consistently on the finished item.

Coverage depends on the size of the item, the texture of the surface, the hiding power needed, the application method, and how many coats you plan to apply. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, while other paints typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet.

If you are coating NN08 Escape Gray on dark, uneven, or porous surfaces, plan for extra material because those conditions often require more than one coat. For small project parts like grilles, covers, rails, fixtures, or other removable pieces, spray paint is often chosen because it is easier to apply evenly on compact items.

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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams NN08 Escape 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.

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.
