No, but it can help with preventing bubbles in the finish.

To maintain the true color ? No

To help prevent bubbles in your finish ? Yes

To use on decorative wraps to keep thread from moving ? Yes

Do I use cp on all wraps ? Yes

One thing I would like to add is if you have it in a wrap with regular nylon you will put CP on it if you plan to keep the nylon color

If a complete metallic wrap a real thin first coat of finish will help release bubbles seal it Then a full coat over that
