Match of Sherwin Williams™ 42186 *

Custom-made color matches are typically not returnable or refundable, so confirm the Sherwin Williams 42186 reference, product format, sheen, and quantity before you order. MyPerfectColor is supplying its own paint matched to the selected Sherwin Williams 42186 color reference, not the original Sherwin Williams paint product.

If you are matching an existing part, also remember that an aged surface can look different from the original color reference, so it is worth checking the target carefully before placing the order.

For MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Sherwin Williams 42186, dry-to-touch is usually within minutes, recoating is generally in 1 to 2 hours, and full cure is about two weeks. Those are different stages, so a part can feel dry before it is ready for heavy use or assembly.

If the item will be handled, installed, or stacked soon after painting, plan around the full cure time rather than the dry-to-touch time.

Plastics vary a lot, so test MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Sherwin Williams 42186 on the actual plastic before committing to the full project. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but different plastic formulations can need different prep or primer to bond well.

If the part is a PVC pipe, vent, grille, switch cover, bracket, or similar item, use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel to improve adhesion when needed. A test spot is the safest way to confirm the finish on the exact surface you plan to paint.

Choose the sheen for Sherwin Williams 42186 based on how the part will be used, how much reflectivity you want, and how easy you need cleanup to be. Higher gloss usually reflects more light and can make the matched color read differently than a flatter finish.

If you are matching separate pieces on the same project, keep the sheen consistent across them so the finished items read as one coordinated match. The color code alone does not define sheen, so the finish choice is part of the order.

Lighting, placement, nearby surfaces, substrate texture, and sheen can all change how Sherwin Williams 42186 reads after it is sprayed on. A match that is correct on paper can still look different once it is applied to metal, plastic, wood, or a previously coated part.

If the item will sit next to an existing painted surface, compare it in the actual location and lighting before approving a large project. That is the best way to judge the finished appearance of a custom-matched Sherwin Williams 42186 part.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams 42186, 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.
