Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW1105 Tortoise *

Primer depends on the surface, its condition, and the paint type you are using. For SW1105 Tortoise, a primer is not always required, but it can help with adhesion and can improve the result, especially on difficult or uneven substrates.

Check the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product you plan to buy. If the surface is bare, glossy, stained, or otherwise hard to coat, primer is often worth using before a match of SW1105 Tortoise.

SW1105 Tortoise in MyPerfectColor custom spray paint is especially useful for parts that are awkward or inefficient to coat with a brush, such as trim details, fixtures, railings, vents, pipes, hardware, and accessories.

If the item is small, removable, or has detailed edges, spray application can make it easier to get an even match of SW1105 Tortoise on the finished piece. It is also useful when you need several separate items to coordinate to the same color reference.

Not always. Even after you choose SW1105 Tortoise, the finished look can change with lighting, placement, sheen, and nearby surfaces. The same color can read a little differently once it is on a real object than it did on a swatch or screen.

This matters most when the painted item sits near an existing surface or in changing light. If the project is sensitive, test the match of SW1105 Tortoise on the actual substrate before doing the full job.

For SW1105 Tortoise in spray paint form, dry-to-touch happens within minutes, recoating is typically done in 1 to 2 hours, and full cure takes about two weeks.

Do not treat those milestones as the same thing. A coat may feel dry before it is ready for another coat or for normal handling, so plan your project around those different stages when using a match of SW1105 Tortoise.

Confirm SW1105 Tortoise from a physical swatch from the original brand or from a known existing color reference, not from screen viewing alone. MyPerfectColor matches the original brand color standard, so the target color should be verified before you place the order.

That step helps make sure you are ordering a match of SW1105 Tortoise and not relying on a display image that may shift with brightness, device settings, or viewing conditions.

Please note that if your material is not new then the paint may not work for touch up as your material has aged and is likely different than it was when new.

If you need a touch up application, send us a part and we can create a touch up solution precisely matching the current color and sheen of your specific materials.

While MyPerfectColor can provide paint matched to the Sherwin Williams SW1105 Tortoise, we don't provide any crossover information because this is a subjective determination. Every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, so determining which color is the best approximation is a judgement call.

However, under the color image on a color page there is a link that says "Explore Related Colors". Clicking this link displays colors with similar values and you can look for any colors from the company you want.

Keep in mind that this just shows similar colors based on the color values we have stored in our database. It doesn't mean it is the same or give any approximation about how close the color is. You can play around with the Hue, Lightness and Chroma sliders to expand the selection.
