Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW0088 Claret *

Yes, but the surface condition matters. For SW0088 Claret as a MyPerfectColor custom-matched paint, metal should be clean, dry, and free of oil, loose rust, and contamination. Existing coatings should be sound, not peeling, and usually need a light scuff so the new coating can bond.

Gloss, texture, and the condition of the old finish can all change how SW0088 Claret looks after it is applied. If you are coating part of an item next to an older finish, expect the final appearance to depend on the substrate and prep, not just the color match.

Choose the sheen based on the item's use and the look you need from the finished surface. With SW0088 Claret, the sheen affects both durability and how much light the coating reflects, so the same color can read differently in flat, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss finishes.

If you are matching an existing part, use the sheen that best matches the surrounding surface. A glossier finish can make surface flaws and texture more visible, while a lower-sheen finish can reduce reflectivity. The best choice is the one that fits the application, cleanup needs, and the appearance you want on the finished item.

The SDS is tied to the specific MyPerfectColor product or chemistry, not to the SW0088 Claret color name alone. That means you should check the Safety Data Sheet for the exact MyPerfectColor item you plan to order.

MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets can be found at https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm. If you order a match of Sherwin Williams SW0088 Claret in a different format, verify the SDS for that exact product.

Confirm SW0088 Claret from a physical swatch or another known brand reference rather than from a screen image. MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard, so the most important step is making sure SW0088 Claret is the target color you actually want.

If you are working from an existing painted item, remember that age, fading, and prior refinishing can make that item differ from the original reference. Verify the color first, then order the MyPerfectColor match to SW0088 Claret.

Before ordering SW0088 Claret, confirm the color reference, product type, sheen, and quantity. MyPerfectColor custom-made color matches are made to your selected reference, so choosing carefully before checkout is important.

Once a custom color order is placed, it should be treated as final. If you need more than one item or plan to reorder later, make sure you are using the same SW0088 Claret reference and the same product format each time.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Sherwin Williams SW0088 Claret 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 SW0088 Claret, 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.
