Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW6199 Rare Gray *

Confirm SW6199 Rare Gray from a physical swatch, fan deck, or another known original brand reference before you order. Screen viewing can shift the color, so it is not the best approval source.

MyPerfectColor matches to the selected brand color standard, not to an aged wall or to what the color looks like on your monitor. If you need the order to fit an existing project, make sure the reference you are using is the exact SW6199 Rare Gray target you want matched.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry you order, not to the SW6199 Rare Gray color name by itself. Check the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the exact product format you are buying.

If you are ordering SW6199 Rare Gray as spray paint or another MyPerfectColor format, use the SDS for that specific product, since safety details can vary by chemistry.

A match of Sherwin Williams SW6199 Rare Gray can be ordered as a MyPerfectColor spray paint for many plastic parts, but plastics vary widely. Because the surface can affect adhesion, test the actual material first whenever possible.

Using the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel can help improve adhesion on challenging substrates. For the best result, prepare the part carefully and do not assume one plastic will behave like another.

A match of Sherwin Williams SW6199 Rare Gray is a practical choice when you need MyPerfectColor custom spray paint for small or awkward items such as trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, and accessories.

It is also useful for parts that are easier to spray than brush, including removable components that need to coordinate with a known paint color reference. In those cases, the goal is a match of SW6199 Rare Gray on the item, not the original Sherwin Williams paint product.

For SW6199 Rare Gray, use light, even coats instead of one heavy pass. Keep the can at a consistent distance, overlap each pass, and move steadily so the paint builds evenly.

Heavy coats can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy build of color. If the item is a difficult substrate or has detail lines, multiple light coats are usually safer than trying to cover it all at once.

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 SW6199 Rare 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.
