Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW2856 Fairfax Brown *

For metal or a previously painted surface, clean off dirt, oil, wax, and other contamination first. If the existing coating is sound and glossy, scuff sanding helps the new coating grip. Remove any rust, loose paint, or peeling areas before applying MyPerfectColor paint matched to SW2856 Fairfax Brown.

The condition of the old coating can affect the final result. Texture, gloss, and surface damage can change how the matched color reads after application, so a smooth, stable base usually gives the most predictable result.
