Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW6142 Macadamia *

Coverage depends on the size of the surface, its texture, the hiding power of the coating, the application method, and how many coats are needed. As a planning rule, one can of spray paint typically covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

If you are coating a small part such as PVC pipe, vents, hardware, railings, or a removable fixture, estimate by the actual painted area rather than by the object name. Rough, porous, dark, or uneven surfaces can need more paint and more than one coat.

Yes. Finish changes how much light the coating reflects, and that changes how SW6142 Macadamia is perceived after it is applied. The same color match can read differently in gloss, satin, or matte even when the color formula is correct.

If you are matching an existing painted part, note the existing sheen and texture as well as the color. If you are coating a new part, choose the finish that fits the surface you are painting and test on the actual item before doing the full application.

Start by cleaning off dust, dirt, and residue. Degrease the surface if it has oils or handling marks, then lightly scuff where appropriate so the coating can grip better. Mask any areas that should stay unpainted.

It is also smart to test the color and adhesion on the actual surface before painting the full item. Different substrates and old coatings can change how SW6142 Macadamia looks and how well it bonds.

Spray paint is usually dry to the touch within minutes, but dry to the touch is not the same as ready for another coat or fully cured. A practical rule is to recoat in 1 to 2 hours.

Plan for about two weeks for full cure. If the part will be handled, assembled, or installed soon after spraying, keep those stages separate from the dry-to-touch stage so you do not mar the finish.

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 SW6142 Macadamia, 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.
