Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW6172 Hardware *

For SW6172 Hardware, apply several light, even coats instead of one heavy wet coat. Keep the can moving at a steady distance, overlap each pass slightly, and do not linger in one spot. Heavy passes can cause runs, uneven sheen, and a muddy-looking color build.

If you are coating a small part or hardware piece, a quick test on similar material can help you confirm how the match lays down before you finish the actual item.

Before you order SW6172 Hardware, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product format you need, the sheen, and the quantity. Those details matter because MyPerfectColor is making a custom match to the selected color reference, not selling the original brand paint.

Custom-made color orders are not returnable or refundable, so it is best to verify those choices carefully before checkout.

A match of Sherwin Williams SW6172 Hardware can be used on many plastic items, but plastics vary a lot in surface chemistry and flexibility. Testing on the actual part is important, especially on low-energy plastics or pieces that will get handled often.

MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel can improve adhesion when the substrate is difficult or when you want extra prep before spraying.

The SDS for SW6172 Hardware depends on the exact MyPerfectColor product or chemistry you order, not on the brand color name alone. Use the SDS for the specific paint format you plan to buy so you are looking at the correct safety information.

If you compare formats, check the SDS for the MyPerfectColor product itself rather than relying on the color name by itself.

Finish matters for SW6172 Hardware because sheen changes how much light the coating reflects, which changes the way the matched color is perceived on the finished item. The same color can read differently in matte, satin, or gloss.

Choose the sheen that matches the target surface or project requirement. If the item will sit beside an existing painted part, test a sprayed sample on the same material first because sheen and substrate both affect the result.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW6172 Hardware, 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.

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.
