Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW4018 Tower Gray *

Confirm SW4018 Tower Gray from a physical swatch, paint chip, or another known Sherwin-Williams reference rather than from a screen image alone. MyPerfectColor makes a custom-matched paint based on the SW4018 Tower Gray color reference, so the order depends on using the correct target color. If you are matching an existing painted item, use the actual item or a verified swatch because age, lighting, and wear can change how the color appears.

Yes, MyPerfectColor spray paint matched to SW4018 Tower Gray can work on many plastics, but plastics vary a lot. A test on the exact part is the safest way to check adhesion and appearance before you paint the full item. Using the MyPerfectColor primer can help improve adhesion, especially on harder or lower-energy plastic surfaces. Clean the part first so mold release, dust, and oils do not interfere with the coating.

No. Finish changes how much light reflects off the surface, and that changes how SW4018 Tower Gray is perceived after application. A match of SW4018 Tower Gray in different sheens can read a little differently on the finished item even though the color target is the same. The color code identifies the color reference, but not the sheen, so choose the finish that fits the item and the performance you need.

The SDS is tied to the MyPerfectColor product chemistry, not the SW4018 Tower Gray color name by itself. You can find MyPerfectColor Safety Data Sheets on the Safety Data Sheets page. Be sure to review the SDS for the exact product format you plan to order.

Clean the surface well, remove rust, oil, and loose coating, and scuff sound glossy paint so the new coating can grip. On bare metal or difficult substrates, a suitable primer may be needed before applying SW4018 Tower Gray. The condition of the old coating, plus its gloss and texture, can change how the finished color looks. If the existing finish is peeling or failing, fix that first rather than painting over it.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Sherwin Williams SW4018 Tower Gray in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

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. Learn more about our color matching accuracy. 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 SW4018 Tower 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.
