Match of Sherwin Williams™ TB18 Vanillin *

Confirm TB18 Vanillin from a physical swatch, a known existing painted item, or another trusted original brand reference before ordering. MyPerfectColor makes a custom-matched paint to the selected Sherwin Williams color reference, not the original Sherwin Williams paint product itself. If the part you are coating needs to sit next to an existing surface, verify the target color in person because screen viewing alone can be unreliable.

Plan quantity based on the size of the item, the surface texture, the hiding power of the substrate, the application method, and how many coats you expect to need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paint formats often cover about 400 to 600 square feet per gallon. Rough, porous, or darker surfaces usually need more material, so it is safer to allow extra for test passes and additional coats.

Use light, even coats and keep the can moving at a consistent distance from the surface. Overlap each pass slightly and avoid heavy application in one spot, since that can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy color build. For a better result, let each coat flash or dry as directed before applying the next coat, especially on small parts, trim pieces, or other items where the finish is easy to see.

Custom-made color matches should be chosen carefully because the correct brand color reference, product type, sheen, and quantity need to be confirmed before ordering. MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint made to TB18 Vanillin is not a standard off-the-shelf brand product, so if you are unsure, verify the color target first rather than guessing on the order. That is especially important when the paint will be used on a visible part, removable component, or one-off project.

No. Finish changes how much light reflects from the coating, so the same TB18 Vanillin color can read differently in different sheens. The color target stays the same, but the finished look on the item can change because sheen is a coating choice, not just a color name. Pick the finish that fits the project requirements, since the sheen will affect how the matched paint appears after application.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Sherwin Williams TB18 Vanillin 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.

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 TB18 Vanillin, 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.
