Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW1646 Filtered Sun *

For SW1646 Filtered Sun, confirm the target from a physical swatch or another known color reference from the original Sherwin Williams standard before ordering. Screen viewing can shift the way the color looks, and MyPerfectColor matches to the selected brand color reference, not to an on-screen impression.

If you are matching a part that already has paint on it, be aware that age, sheen, and substrate can make the existing surface look different from the original SW1646 Filtered Sun reference. Use the clearest physical reference you have to reduce ordering risk.

The best finish for SW1646 Filtered Sun depends on the item and how it will be used. Glossier finishes are usually easier to clean and more durable, while flatter finishes reduce reflectivity. The finish you choose will also change how the matched color reads on the finished item.

If you need SW1646 Filtered Sun to coordinate with an existing piece, keep in mind that gloss level can make the same color look lighter, deeper, or different in contrast. Choose the finish first for the application, then order a match of SW1646 Filtered Sun in that finish.

A match of Sherwin Williams SW1646 Filtered Sun is a practical choice for MyPerfectColor custom spray paint when you need a matched color on smaller or awkward items. It is often useful for trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and other parts that are easier to spray than brush.

This is especially helpful when you want a repeatable match of SW1646 Filtered Sun on removable components, metal parts, or items with details that are difficult to coat evenly by brush.

Yes, SW1646 Filtered Sun can be used on many plastic items, but plastic types vary a lot. For best results, test the paint on the actual material first and use proper surface preparation before painting.

MyPerfectColor spray paint is made to stick well to most plastics, and using the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel can improve adhesion on difficult surfaces. You can find the primer here: MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel. If the plastic is low-energy or unfamiliar, a test panel is the safest way to confirm adhesion and finish before painting the final part.

The Safety Data Sheet for SW1646 Filtered Sun depends on the MyPerfectColor product or chemistry, not on the color name alone. If you need SDS information, use the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page for the specific product you are ordering.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW1646 Filtered Sun, 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.
