Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW4017 Graphite *

Confirm SW4017 Graphite from a physical swatch, an existing painted part, or another known color reference from the original brand. Screen color alone is not reliable for final approval.

MyPerfectColor makes a custom match to the selected brand color reference, so verify that your target is truly SW4017 Graphite before you order. The code identifies the color target, but it does not define sheen, product line, or how an aged surface may look today.

Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to SW4017 Graphite can be used on many plastics, but plastics vary widely and some need different prep or primer to hold up well.

Test on the actual plastic first if the part is important. Using the MyPerfectColor primer for acrylic enamel can help improve adhesion on difficult surfaces. For the best result, clean the part well, follow the prep steps for that substrate, and do not assume one plastic will behave like another.

For SW4017 Graphite custom spray paint, dry-to-touch happens within minutes, recoating is usually best in about 1 to 2 hours, and full cure takes about two weeks.

Dry-to-touch, recoat, and fully cured are different stages. A part may feel dry quickly but still need more time before heavy handling, assembly, or exposure to service conditions. If your project needs early handling, plan around the full cure time rather than the first dry stage.

SW4017 Graphite custom spray paint is useful when you need a known brand color on small, awkward, or removable items that are easier to spray than brush. Common uses include trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, accessories, and similar parts.

This is especially practical when you want MyPerfectColor paint matched to SW4017 Graphite on items that need repeatable color across different materials or parts. It is often a better fit than brushing when the object has edges, grilles, cutouts, or other shapes that are hard to coat evenly by hand.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product and chemistry, not to the SW4017 Graphite color name by itself. If you need the safety data for the paint you are ordering, look for the MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets page on the site.

If you are comparing products or formats, make sure you are reviewing the SDS for the exact MyPerfectColor paint product you plan to use.

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 SW4017 Graphite, 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.

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.
