Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW2386 Riviera Water *

Choose the finish based on how the part will be used and how much reflectivity you want. With SW2386 Riviera Water, a higher-gloss finish is usually easier to wipe clean and can feel more durable, while a lower-gloss finish reduces reflection and can hide surface texture better.

Keep in mind that sheen changes how the matched color reads on the finished item. If you are coating a part that needs to blend with an existing piece, try to match the sheen as closely as possible to avoid a visible difference.

Yes. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint matched to SW2386 Riviera Water is a practical option for small parts and hardware such as switch covers, vents, speaker grilles, knobs, brackets, trim pieces, and similar items.

For the best result, clean and degrease the part first, then apply light coats so the finish stays even and does not pool on edges or details. Spray application is often the easiest way to coat removable parts that need a consistent color match.

It can be used on many plastics, but plastic materials vary a lot, so testing on the actual item is important. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but slick or low-energy plastics may need extra prep to get reliable adhesion.

Using the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can improve adhesion on difficult plastic surfaces. Clean the part well, let it dry, and test a small area first if the material is unfamiliar.

Not always. Even when the color match is correct, SW2386 Riviera Water can read differently depending on lighting, sheen, texture, part size, and the surfaces around it.

This matters most when the painted item will sit right beside an existing surface. A finish that looks close in one setting can appear slightly different in another, so it is best to evaluate the color on the actual part and in the actual location where it will be used.

MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to SW2386 Riviera Water is typically dry to the touch within minutes. Plan to recoat in 1 to 2 hours.

Dry to the touch is not the same as fully cured. For maximum hardness and handling strength, allow about two weeks for full cure.

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.
