Color Prime® System
You can get the best topcoat color results for many bold, deep, vivid or transparent hues by using Sherwin-Williams Color Prime® System of gray-shaded primers.
How it Works
Primer tinted to the right shade of gray creates the ideal balance of light absorption and light reflection. The Color Prime® System (patent pending) has been designed to achieve better hide, more uniform color and less streaking. It requires fewer coats of finish and provides improved touch-up - saving time, material and money.
Sherwin-Williams color samples are coded (P1 through P6) to tell you which shade of gray your primer should be tinted.
