Match of Sherwin Williams™ 42175 *

Use Sherwin Williams 42175 as a physical color reference whenever possible, such as an original swatch or an existing known sample. Screen viewing alone is not enough to confirm the target color accurately.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected Sherwin Williams color reference, so it is important to verify the target before you order. If you are matching an existing part, check it in the lighting where it will be used because aging, sheen, and surface texture can change how the color reads.

The finish you choose changes how Sherwin Williams 42175 will look on the finished item. Higher gloss is usually more reflective and easier to clean, while lower gloss reduces reflectivity and can be more forgiving of surface imperfections.

If you are matching an existing painted part, try to match its sheen as closely as possible. The same color formula can look different across gloss levels, even when the color match is correct. MyPerfectColor can supply a match of Sherwin Williams 42175 in practical product formats, including custom spray paint, depending on your project.

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Sherwin Williams 42175 is useful for small, awkward, or removable items such as trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and similar parts that are harder to coat evenly with a brush.

Spray format is often the practical choice when you want a repeatable color match on components that need to be painted off the wall or off the main assembly. For larger flat surfaces, another product format may be more efficient.

Plastics vary widely, so test Sherwin Williams 42175 on the actual material before painting the full part. MyPerfectColor spray paint adheres well to most plastics, but the surface type and prior treatment can change the result.

Cleaning the part thoroughly and using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult plastics. A small test application is the safest way to confirm compatibility before you commit to the full project.

Before applying a match of Sherwin Williams 42175, clean metal surfaces to remove dirt, grease, and contamination. If the surface is glossy, lightly scuff it so the new coating has better mechanical adhesion.

If the old coating is peeling, chalking, or rusted, remove the unstable material first. The condition of the existing finish can affect how the new color looks, so a test area is a good idea when the new coating will sit beside an older painted surface.

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 42175, 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.
