Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW9631 Mantra *

Primer is not always required for a match of SW9631 Mantra, but it can help if the surface is bare, patched, porous, glossy, or otherwise hard to coat. It can also improve adhesion and help the color cover more evenly.

Check the prep guidance for the exact MyPerfectColor product you are ordering and match the primer to the substrate. If you are coating a problem surface, a primer is usually the safer choice before applying the final color.
