Match of Sherwin Williams™ 42157 *

Coverage depends on the size of the item, surface texture, how much hiding the color needs, the application method, and how many coats you expect to use. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. If you are coating a rough, detailed, or uneven surface, plan for less coverage than a smooth surface and consider extra product for a second coat.

Custom-made color matches should be chosen carefully before ordering because they are not returnable or refundable. For Sherwin Williams 42157, confirm the MyPerfectColor product type, sheen, and quantity before you place the order so you are ordering the right match for your project.

Primer needs depend on the substrate, the condition of the surface, and the paint type you select. The general rule is that a primer never hurts and can improve adhesion, but it is not always required. Check the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product you are ordering, especially if the surface is bare, worn, repaired, or otherwise difficult to coat.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product chemistry, not the Sherwin Williams 42157 color name by itself. You can find MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets here: MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets.

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.
