Match of Sherwin Williams™ 42174 *

Confirm Sherwin Williams 42174 from a physical swatch, fan deck, labeled sample, or a known existing painted reference rather than from a screen view alone. MyPerfectColor makes a match of the selected brand color reference, so the order should be based on the exact color target you want, not on how it looks on your device.

If the project depends on matching a specific original color standard, verify that reference before placing the order. The code by itself does not define sheen, product type, or how an aged surface may look.

Custom-matched orders for Sherwin Williams 42174 should be chosen carefully before checkout because they are made to your selected color reference and are not returnable or refundable.

Before ordering, confirm the exact color reference, the product format you need, the sheen, and the quantity. That helps avoid ordering a match of the wrong Sherwin Williams 42174 reference or the wrong product type for your project.

MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Sherwin Williams 42174 can work on many plastics, but plastics vary a lot. The safest approach is to test the coating on the actual plastic part before committing to the full project.

Clean the surface well and use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel if you want to improve adhesion. A test panel is especially helpful with low-energy plastics, because the result can depend on the exact material, surface texture, and prep.

For metal or an existing coating, clean the surface first and remove dust, oil, wax, rust, and other contamination. If the old coating is sound, scuffing it can help the new coating bond more consistently.

With Sherwin Williams 42174, gloss, texture, and the condition of the old finish can change how the color reads after it dries. If the substrate or old coating is questionable, test a small area first so you can confirm adhesion and appearance before doing the full part.

MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Sherwin Williams 42174 is typically dry to the touch within minutes. It should be recoated in about 1 to 2 hours.
