Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW7017 Dorian Gray *

For spray paint matched to SW7017 Dorian Gray, expect it to be dry to the touch within minutes, ready for another coat in about 1 to 2 hours, and fully cured in about 2 weeks.

Dry to the touch, recoat time, and full handling readiness are different stages. If the part will be handled, stacked, or installed, give it more time than the minimum dry-to-touch window, especially if the coat was applied heavily or the environment is cool or humid.

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used and how you want the coating to perform, not just on the color name. Lower gloss finishes usually hide surface texture and minor flaws better, while higher gloss finishes are typically easier to clean and more reflective.

Because sheen changes how SW7017 Dorian Gray reads on the finished item, the same color match can look slightly different in matte, satin, semi-gloss, or gloss. If the part needs frequent cleaning or has a smoother surface, a higher sheen may be more practical. If the surface is less uniform, a lower sheen may be easier to live with.

Coverage depends on the size of the item, its texture, how much hiding power is needed, the spray method, and how many coats you plan to apply. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat, but real coverage can be lower on rough, porous, or highly contrasting surfaces.

For SW7017 Dorian Gray, plan for enough paint to cover the full surface plus a little extra for a second coat or touch-up during application. If you are coating small parts, fixtures, or accessories, it is usually better to have more paint than the minimum estimate so you do not run short before the job is complete.

Confirm SW7017 Dorian Gray from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference from the original brand rather than relying on a screen image. Screen colors can shift with display settings, lighting, and device differences.

MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard for SW7017 Dorian Gray, not to the brand's original paint product. Before ordering, make sure the reference you are using is the exact color target you want reproduced.

Yes. After a match of SW7017 Dorian Gray is applied, lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces can change how the color reads on the finished item. The color match can be correct and still appear different from what you expected in a different environment.

If the part will sit in a high-visibility area or beside other finished surfaces, check the color under the same lighting conditions where it will be used. That is the best way to judge how SW7017 Dorian Gray will actually appear after application.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW7017 Dorian Gray, 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.
