Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW4025 Anchor Gray *

No. The same SW4025 Anchor Gray color target can read differently after application depending on the finish. Matte, satin, and gloss change how much light reflects off the surface, which changes the way the matched color looks and how much depth it appears to have.

If you need the new piece to sit next to an existing painted item, keep the finish as close as possible to the original or test first, since color and sheen together affect the final result.

Yes, but plastics vary a lot, so the safest approach is to test on the actual part first. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but some low-energy plastics may need better prep or a primer to improve adhesion.

For SW4025 Anchor Gray, clean the surface well, make sure it is dry, and use the MyPerfectColor primer for Acrylic Enamel if you want better adhesion on a difficult plastic substrate. A small test area is the best way to confirm results before coating the full part.

Choose the finish based on how the item will be used and how much reflection you want. Higher gloss finishes are easier to wipe clean and reflect more light, while flatter finishes reduce reflection but can change how SW4025 Anchor Gray reads on the finished piece.

If the item is going on a trim piece, fixture, or accessory that will be handled often, pick the finish that best fits durability and cleaning needs first, then confirm that the visual result is acceptable for your project.

Coverage depends on the size of the item, surface texture, hiding power, application method, and how many coats you need. For MyPerfectColor spray paint, a typical can covers about 20 square feet with one coat. Other MyPerfectColor paint formats typically cover between 400 and 600 square feet, but actual coverage can vary.

For SW4025 Anchor Gray, plan extra material if the surface is rough, porous, dark, or highly contrasting, because those conditions can increase coat count and reduce coverage.

Use light, even coats and keep the can moving so you do not lay down one heavy pass. Hold a consistent distance from the surface, overlap each pass slightly, and build the color gradually instead of trying to cover in one coat.

With SW4025 Anchor Gray, heavy spraying can cause runs, uneven sheen, or a muddy-looking color build. Multiple light coats usually give a cleaner result on trim pieces, fixtures, hardware, and other small parts.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW4025 Anchor 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.

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.
