Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW1204 Blue Reef *

A match of Sherwin Williams SW1204 Blue Reef is a good candidate for custom spray paint when you need a color match on parts that are awkward to brush, such as trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and similar items. MyPerfectColor supplies its own paint matched to the selected brand color, so the product you order is a match of SW1204 Blue Reef, not Sherwin-Williams original paint.

This format is especially practical for small or removable parts where even coverage matters more than using a brush. It is also useful when you want separate components to coordinate to the same color reference across different materials.

For SW1204 Blue Reef custom spray paint, dry-to-touch is typically within minutes, but that is not the same as being ready for another coat or full handling. Recoat timing is usually one to two hours, and full cure takes about two weeks.

If you are coating a part that will be assembled, stacked, or handled soon after painting, plan around those separate milestones so you do not mar the finish or trap solvent under later coats.

Yes, SW1204 Blue Reef can often be sprayed on plastic, but plastics vary widely and some need extra prep or a primer to get reliable adhesion. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but testing on the actual part is important before coating the finished item.

Using the MyPerfectColor primer can improve adhesion on difficult plastic surfaces. If the part is especially smooth, flexible, or unknown, test first and confirm the result before painting the full piece.

Before applying SW1204 Blue Reef to metal or an older coated surface, clean off dirt, grease, and other contamination, then scuff the surface so the new coating can bond properly. If there is rust, loose paint, or peeling material, remove it before spraying.

The condition of the old coating matters. Gloss, texture, and surface wear can all affect how SW1204 Blue Reef looks after application, so the final result may differ from a fresh, smooth sample even when the color match is correct.

The right finish for SW1204 Blue Reef depends on how the part will be used and how you want the coated item to perform. Finish changes reflectivity, durability, cleanup, and how the matched color reads on the finished surface.

Because gloss level changes appearance, the same SW1204 Blue Reef color can look different in different finishes. Choose the finish that fits the object and its wear conditions, not just the color name alone. MyPerfectColor offers SW1204 Blue Reef as a custom match in spray paint and other formats for color-matching projects.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Sherwin Williams SW1204 Blue Reef 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 SW1204 Blue Reef, 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.
