Step 1: Select Paint Type / Application


A match of Sherwin Williams 42144 is a deep, warm red with a noticeable orange cast. It reads saturated and clear rather than muted, with enough depth to look darker in low light while still staying firmly in the red family.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to the selected brand color can be used on practical sprayable items such as railings, brackets, mailboxes, switch plates, vent covers, speaker grilles, hardware, frames, shelving supports, and small furniture accents. It is a useful match when a project calls for the same red tone across metal, plastic, wood, or previously coated parts after proper preparation.

Because this is a strong, high-chroma color, coverage can depend on the substrate and the color underneath it. Even results may take more than one coat, especially over patchy finishes, darker coatings, or textured surfaces. Sheen also affects the final read: smoother, glossier finishes tend to show more surface condition and can make the color appear a bit deeper.

For exterior parts, the color may be more sensitive to wear and fade than a quieter neutral. Good surface prep, primer where needed, and full film build help the color stay even on shutters, gutters, downspouts, railings, and other exposed components.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Sherwin Williams™ 42144 *

How should I choose a finish for Sherwin Williams 42144 when ordering MyPerfectColor spray paint?

Choose the sheen based on how the finished item needs to look and how much wear it will see. Higher gloss finishes reflect more light, so Sherwin Williams 42144 can read differently than the same color in a flatter finish. Flatter finishes reduce reflection and can be more forgiving on surfaces that are not perfectly smooth. If you want the sprayed part to coordinate with an existing coated item, try to match the sheen as closely as possible.

Can I spray Sherwin Williams 42144 over metal or an existing coating?

Yes, but surface prep matters. Clean off oil, wax, dirt, chalk, and other contamination, remove rust or loose coating, and scuff the sound surface so the new paint can bond. The gloss, texture, and condition of the old coating can change how Sherwin Williams 42144 looks after spraying, even when the color match is correct. If the existing finish is peeling or badly damaged, prepare or repair it first instead of relying on color alone.

Where do I find the SDS for Sherwin Williams 42144 MyPerfectColor paint?
