Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW1057 Uptown Taupe *

Confirm SW1057 Uptown Taupe from a physical swatch, fan deck, or a known existing painted reference rather than from a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected Sherwin Williams color reference, so the target color should be verified before you place the order.

If you are matching an existing item, check whether it is original, faded, aged, or affected by lighting before you decide that SW1057 Uptown Taupe is the right reference.

Plastics vary a lot, so a test spot on the actual item is the safest way to confirm adhesion and appearance for SW1057 Uptown Taupe. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but difficult or smooth low-energy plastics can benefit from primer.

For better adhesion, use the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/en/product/995031-Primer-for-Acrylic-Enamel/ . If the part is flexible, heavily handled, or made from an unfamiliar plastic, test first before coating the full item.

Coverage for SW1057 Uptown Taupe depends on surface size, texture, how much hiding power you need, your spray technique, and how many coats it takes to get even coverage. For planning, a typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat.

If you are coating a rough, porous, dark, or uneven surface, plan for more material than the basic coverage estimate. For larger projects, count the coats you expect to apply, not just the square footage of the part.

Before applying SW1057 Uptown Taupe to metal or over an existing coating, clean the surface thoroughly, remove loose rust or contamination, and scuff glossy areas so the new coating can bond well. A sound, clean surface usually gives a more predictable result than painting over dirt, oxidation, or failing finish.

The condition of the old coating matters because gloss, texture, and wear can change how the finished color reads. If the existing surface is uneven or damaged, test a small area first so you can see how the match looks on that substrate.

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the SW1057 Uptown Taupe color name alone. If you need the SDS for the product you are ordering, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page.

You can find it here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm . If you order a different format, check the SDS for that exact product formulation.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW1057 Uptown Taupe, 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.
