Match of Sherwin Williams™ NN20 Dapper Tan *

Yes. MyPerfectColor can make a custom spray paint match of Sherwin Williams NN20 Dapper Tan for small parts and hardware such as switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, knobs, and similar items.

For the best result, use it on a clean, properly prepared surface and make sure the item you are painting is suitable for spray application. If the piece will be handled often or sits next to an existing painted surface, consider the substrate and sheen carefully before ordering.

Primer may be needed, but it depends on the surface, its condition, and the paint system you are using. Bare metal, plastic, glossy surfaces, porous materials, and patched or repaired areas often benefit from primer before applying a match of NN20 Dapper Tan.

A primer can improve adhesion and help the finished color build more evenly. If you are unsure, follow the prep guidance for the selected MyPerfectColor product and, when possible, test on a small area before coating the full part.

Use light, even coats and keep the can moving so the film builds gradually. A steady spray pattern with some overlap between passes helps reduce runs, uneven sheen, and heavy color build.

It is better to apply several thin coats than one heavy coat. Give each coat enough time to set before the next one so the match of NN20 Dapper Tan dries more evenly and keeps the surface detail from getting buried.

Lighting, sheen, texture, and the material underneath can all change how NN20 Dapper Tan reads after it is applied. The same color can look slightly different on metal, plastic, wood, or a previously coated surface.

If the finished part will sit next to an existing painted surface, aging and nearby colors can make differences easier to notice. For a project where color approval is important, test the match on the actual substrate and under the actual lighting before coating the full item.

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used and what it needs to match. Higher gloss usually reflects more light, can make surface flaws more visible, and may make NN20 Dapper Tan read a little deeper or richer on the finished item.

Flatter finishes reduce reflection, while glossier finishes are often easier to clean. If the item is going beside an existing painted surface, try to match the nearby sheen as closely as possible so the color match of NN20 Dapper Tan looks more consistent in place.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Sherwin Williams NN20 Dapper Tan in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

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 NN20 Dapper Tan, 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.
