A match of Sherwin Williams 31117 reads as a warm, earthy golden brown with noticeable yellow-orange undertones. It sits in a medium-deep range, so it has enough body to feel substantial without moving toward a near-black look, and it can shift a bit more orange or more brown depending on sheen and substrate.

MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Sherwin Williams 31117 is a practical choice for parts and accessories that need a warm brown-gold finish, such as vents, switch covers, speaker grilles, railings, shutters, mailbox parts, frames, shelving brackets, knobs, and PVC trim pieces. It can also be used on metal or plastic hardware where a coordinated finish is needed after proper surface preparation.

Because this is a fairly saturated color, coverage may improve with careful prep and more than one coat, especially over dark, uneven, or contrasting surfaces. Finish and film build will affect how rich and how orange the color appears, and glossier finishes can make texture or surface imperfections more noticeable than flatter ones.

Frequently Asked Questions About Match of Sherwin Williams™ 31117 *

How do I confirm I am ordering the right MyPerfectColor match for Sherwin Williams 31117?

Confirm 31117 from a physical swatch, an original Sherwin Williams reference, or another known existing color standard rather than from a screen image. MyPerfectColor uses that reference to make its own custom-matched paint, so the code helps identify the target color but does not define sheen, product line, or the appearance of an aged painted surface.

If the item must coordinate with an existing painted part, verify the exact 31117 reference before ordering because lighting, gloss, and surface texture can make the finished result look different from what you see on screen.

Can Sherwin Williams 31117 be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for small parts and hardware?

Yes. A match of Sherwin Williams 31117 can be ordered as MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for items like switch covers, knobs, vents, speaker grilles, brackets, trim pieces, and similar small parts where a smooth sprayed finish is useful.

Custom spray paint is often the practical choice when you need to coat a removable part or a small object that is easier to spray than to brush. It is still important to match the color reference correctly before ordering, since the product being sold is MyPerfectColor paint matched to 31117, not the original Sherwin Williams paint product.

What should I know before painting Sherwin Williams 31117 on plastic or other low-energy surfaces?

Plastics can vary a lot, so test Sherwin Williams 31117 on the actual material before committing to the full project. MyPerfectColor spray paint is designed to adhere to many plastics, but different plastic types can behave differently, especially on smooth or low-energy surfaces.

Cleaning the part well and using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can help improve adhesion. Because the substrate matters, a small test on the real item is the safest way to reduce the risk of poor adhesion or an unexpected finish.

How should I prepare metal or an existing coating before spraying Sherwin Williams 31117?

For metal or a previously coated part, clean the surface thoroughly, remove rust or contamination, and scuff glossy areas before applying Sherwin Williams 31117. If the old coating is loose, peeling, or chalky, address that first because the new finish is only as good as the surface underneath.

The final appearance can change based on the condition of the old coating, the texture of the part, and the gloss level you apply. A solid prep step helps the MyPerfectColor match of 31117 look more consistent on the finished item.

What spray technique helps MyPerfectColor Sherwin Williams 31117 look smoother on a finished part?

Use light, even coats of Sherwin Williams 31117 and keep the spray moving with a consistent overlap. A steady distance and multiple thin passes usually give a better result than one heavy coat.

Heavy spraying can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy build of color, especially on small parts and detailed surfaces. Let each coat set according to the product instructions before adding the next coat so the finish can level properly.
