Match of Sherwin Williams™ SW1706 Mantis Green *

The finish you choose changes both performance and appearance. A glossier finish usually gives more reflectivity, can be easier to wipe clean, and will make SW1706 Mantis Green read differently than a flatter finish on the same part.

For a project item, choose the sheen based on how much wear it will take, how much cleanup you need, and how much shine you want on the finished surface. If you are matching an existing part, try to keep the sheen consistent with that surface when possible.

The color match is made to the SW1706 Mantis Green reference, but lighting and viewing conditions can still change how it reads on the finished item. Sunlight, shade, LED lighting, indoor lighting, nearby surfaces, texture, and sheen can all shift the way the color appears.

If the part will sit next to an existing surface or be viewed in a specific location, test the match on the actual item first so you can judge the final appearance in that environment.

Start with a clean, dry surface. Remove dirt, grease, wax, and any loose coating before you spray SW1706 Mantis Green. Light scuffing can help when the surface is smooth or glossy, but only do that when it is appropriate for the material and existing finish.

Mask off areas you do not want painted, and test the color and adhesion on a small section or a similar scrap piece before coating the whole part. That helps reduce surprises on the actual project.

Plastic can be painted, but plastics vary widely, so testing on the actual material is important. MyPerfectColor spray paint sticks well to most plastics, but some plastics need extra preparation or a primer to improve adhesion.

For difficult or low-energy plastics, using the MyPerfectColor primer can help the coating bond better. If the part matters, test first so you can confirm how SW1706 Mantis Green performs on that exact surface.

Before ordering, confirm the brand color reference, the MyPerfectColor product type, the sheen, and the quantity you need. A match of Sherwin Williams SW1706 Mantis Green is a Sherwin Williams color reference, and MyPerfectColor makes its own custom-matched paint to match that color.

Custom-made color matches are not returnable or refundable, so it is worth checking the color code, format, and project needs carefully before you place the order.

MyPerfectColor has an original sample of the Sherwin Williams SW1706 Mantis Green in its color archive. This enables us to make paint and verify that it matches the original.

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 SW1706 Mantis Green, 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.
