Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW2742 Bluestone *

Yes, but the condition of the metal or old coating matters more than the color name itself. Clean off dirt, grease, wax, and other contamination first, then scuff any sound glossy surface so the new coating can bond. If there is rust, peeling paint, or a failing coating, address that before ordering or applying a match of SW2742 Bluestone. The final look can still change with the sheen, texture, and condition of what is already on the part, so a test application on the actual substrate is the safest way to judge results.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the SW2742 Bluestone color name alone. For MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets, use the Safety Data Sheets page here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm. If you are checking compliance before ordering, make sure you are reviewing the SDS for the specific MyPerfectColor paint format you plan to use.

SW2742 Bluestone custom spray paint is most useful when you need a match of the selected brand color on small, awkward, or removable items. Common examples include trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, speaker grilles, and similar parts that are inefficient to coat with a brush. If the item is easier to spray than to brush, a MyPerfectColor custom spray paint match can be the practical format to order.

Confirm SW2742 Bluestone from a physical swatch or another known existing color reference, not from a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color reference, so the more certain you are about the target color, the lower the chance of ordering the wrong match. If the only reference is a digital image, it is better to resolve the color first than to rely on a monitor for approval.

After SW2742 Bluestone is applied, lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces can all change how it reads on the finished item. That does not mean the match is wrong; it means the same color can appear different once it is on a real object in a real environment. For best decision making, judge the applied match on the actual part and in the lighting where it will be viewed.

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 SW2742 Bluestone, 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.
