Primer depends on the substrate, its condition, and the paint system you are using. For bare, glossy, porous, or damaged surfaces, primer can improve adhesion and help the finish build more evenly. It usually does not hurt to prime first, but it is not always required.

Before ordering, check the prep guidance for the specific MyPerfectColor product format you plan to use for DEW333 Diamond by Dunn Edwards.

Yes. Finish or sheen changes how much light the coating reflects, so the same color can look different after it is applied. A glossier finish usually reads brighter and more reflective, while a flatter finish usually reads softer and less reflective.

When you order a match of DEW333 Diamond by Dunn Edwards, choose the finish based on the application and the look you need on the actual item, since sheen affects the perceived color.

If the surface is rough, porous, or a darker color than DEW333 Diamond by Dunn Edwards, plan for extra material so you do not run short before the project is complete.
