- If you just got a brand new metal roof for your house,
you might have other areas of your home
that you wanna match to the color of your metal roof,
like shutters or trim or other areas like that.
In this video, we're gonna show you how
to get an exact color match to your Sheffield Metal roof
at your local Sherwin-Williams store.
(upbeat music)
What's up guys?
Welcome to The Metal Roofing Channel I'm Thad Barnett,
and make sure you subscribe if you're new.
We released metal roofing and metal construction content
every Monday and Wednesday. What's up Adam? How's it going?
- Not bad. How are you?
- Yeah, I'm doing good.
So previously we put a metal roof on your house.
- Yep.
Medium bronze snap-lock panel.
And today we're going to explore,
what's called the Sher-Color program.
And it's a paint matching program
that Sheffield metals and Sherwin-Williams
have together to match some paint.
And today talk to us about the project
and what we're aiming to do here.
- Sure. So we have the project we've got,
you know, what was historically a brown shingle roof.
You've got tan siding, you know, nothing spectacular.
But then you also have this green
and my wife and I were thinking let's match the shutters
and the green trim areas to the roof.
So nice little accent piece, something to,
to kind of have it be a little bit more
cohesive than what's there.
- Sure. So previously, you know,
you might have to go to a paint store,
grab a whole bunch of sample cards, bring it back,
try to match it to the roof color
and then get paint that way.
- Yep.
- But through the Sher-Color program
with Sherwin-Williams and Sheffield Metals.
There's a new way. So Adam, tell me about that.
- So through the Sher-Color program,
I can go into any Sheffield Metals branch.
You know, I obviously work out a one,
so went into the Sheffield Metals branch.
We have these postcards in there where we can go and fill in
the paint code, the corresponding metal roof paint code,
and take that into any Sherwin-Williams branch and match a
corresponding paint to that.
So there's a lot of different varieties to paint.
So the idea is here, we're going to walk you through it.
I've got an exterior application.
Certainly you could match something on the interior.
You're going to use a different paint for the interior
versus the exterior. The exterior is going to see some UV's,
harsher conditions, things like that.
So the ideas we're going to walk through this today
and get my shutters and my trim matched to the roof.
- Awesome. So what is this program not for?
Tell me about that.
- Sure. So there are very specific,
special paints for touch up on my roof.
We'll do some other videos about that.
That could be paint pens,
it could be aerosol cans to match it.
Those are specifically designed to be air-dry PVDF paints.
What we're doing today.
I don't want it to touch anywhere on the roof.
This is exclusively for what I'm doing on my vinyl siding,
vinyl shutters. So big thing touch up is touch up.
You should really work with your metal roof manufacturer
to get touch up.
We do paint pens for little small nicks and scratches,
things like that. And then we also do aerosol cans.
If somebody has like a, you know,
a larger accent piece or a gutter or downspout.
Something like that, that they want to match.
- All right, Adam, great.
You're going to run over to the Sherwin-Williams store
and then we'll meet back here and get some paint on.
- Absolutely looking forward to it.
- Sweet.
- All right, thanks.
So I picked this a Sher-Color,
How To Order, card up at my local Sheffield Metals branch.
- Yep.
And I'm looking to match, some sidings,
some shutters to my existing medium bronze
Sheffield Metals metal roof.
- Okay.
And I was told,
come get paint code to the corresponding Sher-Color code,
as well as that you guys could match it to your
Sher-Color competitive color palette.
- Yeah. So these colors are all in our system.
So all I got to do is plug this number into our computer,
pulls up the color
and I can make it in just about any product that you want.
- So I take it. You have some options we can go over.
- I absolutely do.
- Awesome. Let's do it.
I'm looking at painting some vinyl,
possibly some wood, you know?
- Okay.
I got some accent pieces as well. So take me through this.
What's good, what's better, what's best.
What sort of options do I have?
- Sure. A good option to start will be this Resilience.
Reason being is it has what's called
Moisture Guard Technology.
It holds up very, very well in the weather.
Your next step up from that
better option would be this Latitude,
which is actually a combination of Resilience
and another product we have called Flex Temp.
So keeps the outstanding moisture resistance from the
Resilience and adds the ability to be painted in
temperatures from 35 to 120 degrees.
Then your best option would be the Emerald Rain Refresh,
which combines all the technologies from the paints
underneath it and combines it into one.
And then as a self-cleaning technology, basically,
meaning that it cleans itself when it rains
or when it is exposed to water.
- Okay. Very cool. Now, how long would I be able
to expect any of these to last.
- Obviously the best option is going to last the longest.
I'd say in Northeast Ohio, probably,
10, 15 years out of the Emerald Rain Refresh
with Latitude and Resilience, probably five to 10.
So all three of these products are able
to be used on both vinyl and wood.
You don't need to select two different products
for both of those projects.
Beauty of these three products is
also that they can be made in what's called
Vinyl Safe Technology.
Meaning we remove the black from the color formula,
could see black has a tendency to warp vinyl over time.
- Okay.
- Once we put in the color into the computer system,
we tell it to make it vinyl safe,
and we just tell it what product you want
and it makes the color exactly the way you want.
- Alright, so take me into the gloss with the sheen on it.
We've got a couple of actual medium bronze options.
One of them, a low gloss, and one of them is a, you know,
standard higher gloss type finish.
And that's the one that I'm looking to match today.
- Okay. So all of our exterior products,
including the three that we've talked about,
come in a flat, a satin and a gloss.
Some of them do come in a high gloss.
From a personal preference standpoint.
I would say satin is our most popular option,
but truthfully it's really whatever the customer wants.
So, whenever you're looking for, we can make it in.
- Okay. Awesome. Alright, Sam, I think I'm ready to order.
I'm going to go with Resilience on finish
and I'm also going to go with the Satin look.
- Okay.
- And then obviously go with the Sher-Color code
provided by Sheffield Metals and Sherwin
- Yeah. That's in our Sher-Color,
competitive color palette.
So I can type that in and make it up for you right now.
- Awesome. Thank you.
All right. So we just got back from the store.
We got our paint and we're going to answer the question.
How many Sheffield Metals employees
does it take to paint 14 square feet of trim
today on the metal roofing channel.
Thanks to Sam. We got our match, medium bronze match,
and I've enlisted the help of Thad and Julianne.
We've got a lot of the prep work done
as far as taping the trim and taping around it
to not make too big of a mess.
So let's get started.
All right guys. Appreciate your help today.
This couldn't be possible without Sherwin-Williams and the
Sher-Color program, getting all my trim to match the roof.
Really excited about that. Looks great.
- [Thad] Yeah, and the process seemed really easy.
Talk us through the steps real quick again.
- All you're really going to need to do
as a homeowner or a contractor
is walking into a Sheffield Metals location,
or contact a Sheffield Metals location.
We'll send you the Sher-Color match
postcard back to you with the corresponding paint code.
And it's as easy as walking into a Sherwin-Williams store,
letting them know your application.
So here we're an exterior paint.
And then they're going to be able
to match you up with a corresponding match
to your architectural project.
So whether it's a roof, a wall,
some trim pieces that you had done.
You can get a corresponding match and you're not really
going to have to worry about, you know,
is it slightly different? It's the same brand.
However you're going to want to just make sure
you don't use it on the existing metal roof or trim.
- Absolutely. And if you have any questions
about the Sher-Color program,
comment down below, we'd love to answer them for you.
Huge thanks to everybody at Sherman-Williams
to help make this video possible.
Thank you, Julianne. Thank you, Adam.
