Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW2139 Shipyard Gray *

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used, cleaned, and viewed. Lower sheen finishes reduce reflectivity, while higher sheen finishes are usually easier to wipe clean and can look different on the same SW2139 Shipyard Gray match.

If you are coating trim, hardware, vents, a mailbox, or another removable part, the finish you select can change how the matched color reads on the final surface. For the closest practical result, match the sheen to the surrounding surface when possible, and use MyPerfectColor paint matched to SW2139 Shipyard Gray in the format that fits your project.

Coverage depends on the size of the item, surface texture, how much hiding power is needed, the application method, and whether you need one coat or more. A typical can of spray paint covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other paints typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet.

For smaller projects like PVC pipe, vents, switch covers, grilles, brackets, or hardware, spray paint matched to SW2139 Shipyard Gray is often the practical format, but plan for extra if the surface is rough, dark, or uneven. If the part is important or the substrate is difficult, ordering enough for a test coat plus the final coats is the safer approach.

Safety Data Sheet information is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the Sherwin Williams color name alone. That means you should look up the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor paint format you plan to order for SW2139 Shipyard Gray.

Start by cleaning the surface, removing dust, grease, wax, and other contamination. If the item is already coated and the existing finish is sound, a light scuff where appropriate can help the new coating grab better. Mask adjacent areas that should not be painted.

This is especially important on metal, plastic, wood, and previously coated parts because adhesion can vary by substrate. Before painting the full item, test the MyPerfectColor match of SW2139 Shipyard Gray on the actual surface so you can confirm prep, adhesion, and appearance.

Not always. Lighting, placement, sheen, surface texture, and nearby materials can all change how SW2139 Shipyard Gray reads once it is sprayed or brushed on. A match that is correct to the target color can still look different on a finished object than it did on a swatch or screen.

This matters most when the new coating will sit next to an existing painted surface, because aging, sheen, and texture differences can make the result look less uniform. If appearance is important, test the MyPerfectColor match of SW2139 Shipyard Gray on the actual item and view it in the final location before doing the full project.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW2139 Shipyard Gray, 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.
