Sherwin-Williams Cheyenne Red review (SW 3043)
Compare Cheyenne Red with another stain
Cheyenne Red on pine, oak, maple and cabinets
How a stain looks depends as much on the wood species as the can: pine and maple are prone to blotching, oak's open grain amplifies whatever penetrates it, and cabinet doors have their own even-coverage requirements. Photographed swatches for Cheyenne Red on each species are still being shot; the notes below are what to expect from this stain's formula.
Coats and drying
- Coats: Typically two coats on bare wood.
- Application: Brush or roll on and back-brush, no wiping off, since it is meant to hide the grain.
- Drying: Typically a day or more before foot traffic; follow the can for temperature limits.
General guidance only: the label on your can sets the real times. The color on this page is an on-screen approximation of the published swatch, and screens vary, so confirm on a test board of your own wood.
