Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW7008 Alabaster *

For MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to Sherwin Williams SW7008 Alabaster, start with a clean, dry surface. Remove dirt, oils, and grease, then lightly scuff the surface if that is appropriate for the material and the existing finish. Mask off areas you do not want painted and test a small area on the actual part before coating the full piece. Different substrates can need different prep, so the goal is to give the paint a sound, even surface to bond to.

Choose the sheen based on how the part will be used and how much reflectivity you want. Higher gloss levels reflect more light and can make SW7008 Alabaster read a little differently on the finished item, while flatter sheens reduce shine and can hide surface marks better. If the item will be handled or cleaned often, think about durability and cleanup as well as appearance when selecting the finish for your MyPerfectColor match of SW7008 Alabaster.
