Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW2420 Academic Navy *

Before ordering SW2420 Academic Navy, confirm the target against a physical Sherwin Williams swatch or another known original reference, not a screen image. MyPerfectColor makes a match of SW2420 Academic Navy in its own paint, so the order should be based on the actual color standard you want matched, not on how a monitor displays it.

If you are matching an existing painted part, compare to the original color reference or a clean sample from the same color family before you buy.

For SW2420 Academic Navy, use light, even coats with steady passes and a consistent spray distance. Overlap each pass slightly and avoid heavy wet coats, since that can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking build.

Let each coat flash or dry as directed for the product you order, and test on a small area first if the surface is visible or difficult.

Before applying SW2420 Academic Navy, clean off dirt, dust, wax, and grease, then let the surface dry fully. Lightly scuff sound glossy surfaces when appropriate, mask adjacent areas, and spray a test panel or hidden spot before coating the full item.

If the substrate is bare, slick, or repair-prone, use the right primer for that material so the match has a better chance of adhering and covering evenly.

The SDS for SW2420 Academic Navy depends on the MyPerfectColor product you order, not the color name alone. You can find MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets here: https://www.myperfectcolor.com/Safety-Data-Sheets/33970.htm

If you are ordering a spray can, paint pen, or another MyPerfectColor format, check the SDS for that specific product chemistry before use.

A match of Sherwin Williams SW2420 Academic Navy can be used on many plastic items, but plastics vary a lot. Because of that, test on the actual plastic first and use a primer when adhesion is important or the surface is slick.

MyPerfectColor spray paint is designed to work on many plastics, and MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel can help improve adhesion on challenging plastic surfaces before you apply the matched color.

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 SW2420 Academic Navy, 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.
