A match of Sherwin Williams 39686 is a medium-depth yellow-green with a strong green bias and a warm, slightly earthy cast. It reads vivid rather than muted, with enough chroma to look clear and active without moving into neon territory. MyPerfectColor makes a custom-matched paint to this Sherwin Williams color reference, so the result is aimed at the target color rather than the original brand's paint.
For spray applications, this color can work well on parts where a noticeable green-yellow accent is wanted: metal brackets, bike frames, tool housings, shelf supports, mailboxes, planters, speaker grilles, switch covers, shutters, and painted PVC or trim pieces. It is also useful for coordinated hardware, signage components, and removable fixtures that need a repeatable match across different materials.
Because the color is fairly saturated, it may cover more evenly with good surface prep and enough film build, and darker or patchy substrates can show through longer than they would with a lower-chroma neutral. On smooth metal or plastic, finish choice can change the read of the color: glossier finishes tend to look clearer and deeper, while flatter finishes can make it seem softer and slightly dustier. Outdoor exposure can also be harder on vivid colors than on quieter neutrals, so consistent prep and coating thickness matter.

Yes, MyPerfectColor can make a match of Sherwin Williams 39686 in spray paint for many plastic parts. Plastics vary widely, so the safest approach is to clean the part well, scuff it if appropriate for the material, and test on the actual plastic before painting the full item.
Using a primer can help adhesion on difficult substrates. MyPerfectColor offers a primer for acrylic enamel that can be used to improve the bond before applying the matched color, especially when you are painting trim pieces, covers, fixtures, or other smooth plastic parts.
Not always. Even when MyPerfectColor makes a correct match of Sherwin Williams 39686, the finished look can change with lighting, sheen, the shape of the part, and nearby surfaces. A color that looks right in one location may read a little differently once it is installed.
This matters most when the new painted item sits next to an existing surface. If you are matching a removable part, such as a vent, cover, grille, or hardware piece, the surrounding area and viewing angle can affect how the color appears after application.
Coverage depends on the size of the item, surface texture, how well the surface hides, the application method, and how many coats you need. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but real-world coverage can be lower on rough or porous surfaces and higher on smooth ones.
If you are ordering a match of Sherwin Williams 39686 for a larger project, estimate the total surface area first, then add extra for texture, overspray, and a second coat if needed. For brush or wall-type products, coverage is often about 400 to 600 square feet, but the exact result still depends on the surface and product format.
Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used, how durable it needs to be, and how much shine you want the finished piece to have. Higher sheen finishes usually clean more easily and reflect more light, while lower sheen finishes reduce reflectivity and can hide surface variation better.
Sheen also changes how Sherwin Williams 39686 reads after it is applied. If you are coating a fixture, cover, railing, or other part that must blend with an existing environment, confirm the sheen as part of the order because the color and sheen work together in the final appearance.
Before ordering, confirm the exact color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need. MyPerfectColor is making a custom match of Sherwin Williams 39686, not selling the original Sherwin Williams paint product, so ordering the wrong format or finish can lead to a result that does not fit your project.
Custom-made color orders should be chosen carefully because they are not returnable or refundable. If the part will be installed beside an existing painted surface, double-check the reference and the product details before placing the order.

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 39686, 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.
