Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW9565 Forged Steel *

Yes, but plastics can vary a lot, so the safest approach is to test SW9565 Forged Steel on the actual material before committing to the full project. MyPerfectColor spray paint is made to match the selected color, but adhesion and appearance can change depending on the plastic type and surface condition.

For better adhesion on challenging substrates, use the MyPerfectColor primer recommended for acrylic enamel before topcoating. That is especially important when the part is slick, flexible, or molded from an unfamiliar plastic.

With MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to SW9565 Forged Steel, dry-to-touch usually happens within minutes. Recoating is typically done in one to two hours, but full cure takes about two weeks.

Those stages are different. Dry-to-touch only means the surface is no longer wet, while handling and full cure take longer. If the part will be installed, stacked, or put back into service quickly, plan around the longer cure time so the finish is not damaged too soon.

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product or chemistry, not to the SW9565 Forged Steel color name by itself. If you are ordering a match of SW9565 Forged Steel, check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the product family you plan to use.

This helps you verify the correct safety document for the exact format, such as spray paint or another MyPerfectColor product type.

Before applying a match of SW9565 Forged Steel, make sure the metal or old coating is clean, dry, and sound. Remove dust, oils, rust, and loose paint, then scuff glossy areas so the new coating can bite into the surface.

The condition of the old finish matters. Gloss, texture, and any damage in the existing coating can affect how SW9565 Forged Steel looks after it dries, even when the color match is correct.

A typical can of MyPerfectColor spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but actual coverage for SW9565 Forged Steel depends on the surface size, texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need.

If you are painting rough, porous, or high-contrast surfaces, plan for less coverage per can and more than one coat. For small parts, fixtures, or removable components, it is usually better to calculate based on the total area and then allow extra for test spraying and second coats.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Sherwin Williams SW9565 Forged Steel in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

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 SW9565 Forged Steel, 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.
