Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW0057 Chinese Red *

Confirm SW0057 Chinese Red from a physical swatch, an existing painted part, or another known original brand reference. Do not rely on screen viewing alone, since monitors and phone screens can shift the color. MyPerfectColor makes its own paint matched to the selected brand color reference, so the key step is verifying that SW0057 Chinese Red is the exact target you want before you order.

Plastics can vary widely, so a test on the actual material is the safest way to reduce risk before coating the full item. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion when the substrate is difficult. This is especially useful for parts like vents, covers, housings, trim pieces, or other molded items that may not behave the same as metal or wood.

Use light, even coats instead of heavy passes. Keep the can moving, maintain a consistent distance, and overlap each pass slightly so the color builds evenly. Heavy coats can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking build, especially on small items like hardware, trim pieces, covers, and fixtures. If the part has edges or contours, build the color gradually rather than trying to cover it all at once.

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used and how you want the coated surface to perform, not just on color alone. Sheen affects durability, reflectivity, and cleanup, and the same SW0057 Chinese Red match can look different in a flat, satin, or glossier finish. If the item will be handled often or exposed to wear, finish choice matters as much as the color match.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor paint product and chemistry, not to the SW0057 Chinese Red name by itself. Look for the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets on the MyPerfectColor website for the specific product you are ordering. That is the correct place to confirm safety information for the actual paint formulation.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Sherwin Williams SW0057 Chinese Red 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. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. 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 SW0057 Chinese Red, 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.
