Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW6517 Regatta *

Yes. MyPerfectColor can make a match of Sherwin Williams SW6517 Regatta in spray paint for small or removable projects such as baskets, frames, shelving, decor pieces, or furniture accents.

This is the right format when the goal is to coordinate an object to the selected color reference, not to buy Sherwin Williams original paint. If the item has a dark or uneven base, coverage can depend on the surface underneath.

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used and how you want the matched color to look. Higher-gloss finishes usually clean more easily and reflect more light, while flatter finishes reduce reflection and can change how SW6517 Regatta reads on the surface.

If you are coating an existing part, try to match the current sheen as closely as possible because sheen differences can be more noticeable than the color itself.

Clean the surface first so dust, grease, and contamination do not interfere with adhesion. On metal or an older painted surface, scuffing the existing coating and removing loose rust or failing paint helps the new finish bond better.

The condition of the old coating matters as much as the color match. Gloss, texture, and surface damage can all change how Sherwin Williams SW6517 Regatta looks after it dries.

Yes. Plastics vary widely, so test on the actual material before you commit to the full project. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult or low-energy surfaces.

Because plastic formulations differ, good surface cleaning and a test application are the safest way to reduce adhesion risk when matching SW6517 Regatta.

MyPerfectColor spray paint is dry to touch within minutes, should be recoated in one to two hours, and is fully cured in about two weeks.

Dry to touch, recoating, and full cure are different stages, so do not treat the item as fully hardened just because the surface feels dry. Allow extra time before heavy handling or reassembly.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Sherwin Williams SW6517 Regatta in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

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 SW6517 Regatta, 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.
