Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW6494 Lakeshore *

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry you order, not to the SW6494 Lakeshore color name by itself. If you need an SDS, look up the Safety Data Sheet for the specific MyPerfectColor format you plan to buy, such as spray paint or another matched product.

That way you are reviewing the correct safety document for the actual material being shipped and used.

Finish changes how much light the coated surface reflects, so SW6494 Lakeshore can read differently after application even when the color match itself is the same. A glossier finish usually reflects more light and can make the color appear a bit deeper or more vivid, while a flatter finish reflects less light and can make the same match look softer on the item.

The color code does not define sheen, so choose the finish based on the surface and the result you need on the painted part, not on the color name alone.

Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint can work well on many plastics, but plastics vary a lot and some low-energy surfaces need extra prep or primer for better adhesion. For SW6494 Lakeshore, it is smart to test on the actual plastic part first if the item is important or difficult to replace.

Using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on plastics and help reduce the risk of poor bonding or finish problems on the final part.

Before applying SW6494 Lakeshore, clean the metal well, remove rust or contamination, and scuff glossy areas so the new coating can bond properly. If there is an existing coating, its gloss, texture, and overall condition can affect how the matched finish looks after application.

If the old coating is uneven, damaged, or poorly attached, the new MyPerfectColor match can still show those surface issues. A test area is the safest way to check appearance and adhesion before coating the full item.

Confirm SW6494 Lakeshore from a physical swatch or a known existing color reference, not from a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor matches to the original brand color standard, so the target color should be verified before you place the order.

If you already have an existing painted part or a brand swatch, compare against that reference first so you are ordering a match of the correct SW6494 Lakeshore target.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Sherwin Williams SW6494 Lakeshore 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. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. 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.

It sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW6494 Lakeshore, 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.
