Color-drenching — carrying one color across the walls, trim, and cabinetry of a room — only works if the cabinets can match the paint on the wall. That's exactly what the Custom Paint program does: Eclipse and Shiloh cabinets can be finished in almost any Sherwin-Williams paint color.

Pricing

  • Custom Paint finish: 20%, added to your species upcharge. Example: 20% Custom Paint + 8% Maple = 28% added to the order list price.
  • Orders under $15,000 list are charged an additional $750 list custom paint fee.

Step 1: Identify the color early

Get the Sherwin-Williams color number from the client as early as possible — the sample door has to be made and approved before the project order goes in.

Step 2: Follow the steps for your line

Eclipse

  1. Email customer.service@wwinc.com to confirm a matching edge-band for the box is available in that color. Reach out to your rep with questions.
  2. Order a sample: CM 8½ × 11 ($350 list) or CM 12½ × 15½ ($585 list).
  3. On the order, enter the Sherwin-Williams color code (e.g. SW6671) as the color on the Eclipse order form, or put it in special instructions.
  4. Fill out the Custom Finish Approval Form and submit it with your Standard Order.

Shiloh

  1. Order a sample: CM 8½ × 11 ($350 list) or CM 12½ × 15½ ($585 list).
  2. On the order, enter the Sherwin-Williams color code (e.g. SW6671) as the color on the Shiloh order form, or put it in special instructions.
  3. Fill out the Custom Finish Approval Form and submit it with your Standard Order.

Lead time: as long as the sample door has been received before you submit the project order, Custom Paint adds no lead time.

Step 3: Set it up in 2020 Design Flex

  1. In the Finishes step, select Custom Paint (Specify SW#).
  2. Find the Sherwin-Williams color: in the Textures browser, open Catalog Textures → Paint → Sherwin Williams and pick the color by name and SW number.
  3. Change all variables to the custom color — door texture, drawer front, and both frame (horizontal and vertical) textures — so the rendering and the order match.
  4. If the order doesn't meet the $15,000 list minimum, add the custom paint upcharge item (CUSTPNT-UPCH, $750).

Why it wins jobs

  • Exact match to the room. The client's designer picks the wall color; the cabinets come in the same Sherwin-Williams number.
  • Fewer lost jobs to local custom shops. Custom color without leaving a production line you already know how to order.
  • Approved before it's built. The sample door and approval form mean no surprises at install.
