Match of Sherwin Williams™ UO15 Magnetic Gray *

Sheen is a separate choice from the color match. For Sherwin Williams UO15 Magnetic Gray, the right finish depends on how durable the painted item needs to be, how easy it must be to clean, and how much reflectivity you want on the finished surface.

Lower sheens usually hide surface flaws better and reduce glare, while higher sheens are easier to wipe down and can make the same color read more reflective. If you are coating an existing part, choose the sheen that is closest to the surface you are trying to match.

Not always. A match of Sherwin Williams UO15 Magnetic Gray can read a little differently depending on lighting, viewing angle, sheen, texture, and the colors next to it. The MyPerfectColor match targets the color reference, but the finished appearance can still shift once it is applied to a real surface.

If the item will sit beside an existing painted surface or be seen under specific lighting, it is safer to check the match on the final substrate before coating the whole part. That helps reduce risk when the project is sensitive to small appearance differences.

Use light, even coats and keep your passes consistent so the color builds smoothly. Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy looking finish, especially on a match like Sherwin Williams UO15 Magnetic Gray where the film build can change the final appearance.

Overlap your passes and follow the product instructions for spray distance, dry time, and recoat timing. If the item is small, awkward, or highly visible, it is better to build coverage gradually than to try to cover it in one heavy coat.

Primer depends on the substrate, its condition, and the product type you are using. Bare, glossy, porous, repaired, or hard-to-cover surfaces often benefit from primer before applying Sherwin Williams UO15 Magnetic Gray.

Primer is not always required, but it generally helps with adhesion and can improve the final result. When in doubt, use primer and check the prep guidance for the selected MyPerfectColor format before you start.

Coverage depends on the size of the surface, how textured it is, how well the substrate hides, the application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paints typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet, but actual coverage can vary.

Plan for extra material if the surface is rough, porous, dark, or likely to need more than one coat. Ordering enough upfront helps avoid running short before the color is fully built and even.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams UO15 Magnetic 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.

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.
