Match of 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Sherwin Williams 31117 in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

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 31117, 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.
