Match of Sherwin Williams™ 49801 *

Yes. With a custom match of Sherwin Williams 49801, the finish is an ordering choice that affects how the color reads on the finished item. A glossier finish will usually look more reflective, while a flatter finish will reduce reflection and can make the same color look different on the same substrate.

Choose the sheen based on the part you are coating and the appearance you need after application. If the item will be handled often or cleaned regularly, durability and cleanup may matter as much as appearance. If you need the color to look as close as possible to your target under the planned finish, confirm the sheen before ordering.

Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to Sherwin Williams 49801 can be used on many plastic parts, but plastics vary a lot. Because of that, testing on the actual material is important before committing to the full project.

For better adhesion on difficult plastics and other low-energy surfaces, use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel before applying the color coat. Good surface cleaning and proper prep matter, especially on parts like covers, fixtures, trim pieces, and other molded items.

It may not look exactly the same in every setting. Once a match of Sherwin Williams 49801 is applied, lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces can all change how the color reads on the finished item.

This is especially important if you are coating a part that will sit next to an existing painted surface or under strong direct light. The match can be correct to the reference color and still appear different after application because of the way the part is lit and the surface around it.

Before ordering a custom match of Sherwin Williams 49801, confirm the exact color reference, the product format you need, the sheen, and the quantity. Those details matter because MyPerfectColor makes a custom-matched product, not the original Sherwin Williams paint.

Custom-made color orders should be chosen carefully because they are not returnable or refundable. If you are matching a specific reference for a part, fixture, or removable component, double-check the target color and the finish before placing the order.

Use light, even coats rather than one heavy pass. Keep the spray moving, overlap each pass consistently, and hold a steady distance from the part so the film builds evenly.

Heavy coats can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking build, which matters even more with a metallic color like Sherwin Williams 49801. If you are coating a small part, hardware piece, grille, or trim item, a few controlled coats will usually produce a more consistent result than trying to cover everything at once.

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 49801, 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.
