Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW9170 Acier *

Primer depends on the substrate, the condition of the surface, and the paint type you are using. For SW9170 Acier, a primer is not always required, but it can improve adhesion and help the finished coat apply more evenly. If you are coating a surface that is slick, damaged, porous, or previously painted with an unknown coating, primer is worth considering before you order the final color match.

If you are unsure, check the prep guidance for the exact MyPerfectColor product you plan to use. A primer usually does not hurt and can only help adhesion, but it should be selected based on the actual surface and project requirements.

SW9170 Acier in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint is useful for smaller or awkward items where brushing is inefficient. Common examples include trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and removable parts that need to coordinate with a known paint color.

This is a match of SW9170 Acier made by MyPerfectColor, not Sherwin Williams original paint. Spray paint is often the practical choice when you need even coverage on parts with curves, holes, edges, or tight access.

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the SW9170 Acier color name alone. If you need the SDS for the paint you are ordering, use the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor product format you plan to buy.

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so testing on the actual material is important. SW9170 Acier in MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but surface prep and the specific plastic type can change results.

If you want better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer made for acrylic enamel before applying the color coat. For difficult or unknown plastics, a test spray on a hidden area is the safest way to confirm compatibility before finishing the full part.

A typical can of MyPerfectColor spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but real coverage depends on surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. For SW9170 Acier, plan extra material if the surface is textured, if you expect more than one coat, or if the part has edges and cutouts that use more paint.

If your project is much larger than a small part or fixture, other MyPerfectColor paint formats may be more efficient. MyPerfectColor housepaint products typically cover about 400 to 600 square feet, depending on the product and application conditions.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW9170 Acier, 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.
