Pantone™ PMS 104 C

Pantone PMS 104 C is often specified by brand standards for signs, displays, and exhibits to ensure consistent visual identity across all elements. When fabricating components that require precise color targeting, PMS 104 C gives you a defined reference for approval. For best results, always sample PMS 104 C on the actual substrate intended for final use, since the appearance can change significantly depending on material and finish. This step helps ensure the finished signage or display accurately represents brand intent under real-world lighting conditions.

Choosing the appropriate paint type for PMS 104 C depends on where and how the painted element will be used. For interior displays or signage, standard interior formulations will provide the needed appearance and durability. For any exterior use, select a paint specifically rated for outdoor exposure to resist weathering and fading. Confirm the product format is correct for your environment and substrate. If you are unsure, consult product guidance specific to your project application to ensure brand color integrity is maintained over time.

Pantone PMS 104 C should be referenced with both its name and full code when ordering to avoid confusion and ensure the correct color standard is matched. The PMS code uniquely identifies the exact color target within the Pantone Matching System. Omitting the code or using the wrong suffix can result in receiving a different color, which may not meet brand specifications. Always double-check the required code and any suffix (such as 'C' for coated) before placing your order.

Using a primer before applying PMS 104 C depends on the substrate type, finish required, and whether the surface is previously painted or bare. Primers improve adhesion and color uniformity, especially on bare materials, porous surfaces, or where color hide is a concern. For best results and to maximize the accuracy of PMS 104 C, follow primer recommendations provided for your chosen paint type and substrate. Proper preparation helps achieve true-to-standard brand color with consistent coverage.

Unfortunately, no.

Some manufacturers specify Pantone colors as touch up for their products, but Pantone does not work well as a proxy for a touch-up solution (for a litany of reasons such as it doesn't include sheen and Pantone color tolerances are not tight enough for touch up). When we match Pantone colors we are matching to a swatch in a Pantone book - not to your product.

The only way we can provide a touch-up solution for your product is for you send us a part. We would use the part to create a touch-up grade match. Unfortunately, there isn't an effective way to 'spec' the color well enough to produce a touch up without the part.

To make spray paint matched to Pantone PMS 104 C. MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish in any color in any sheen. It sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

The 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat. Keep in mind that it is difficult to gauge how much spray you'll need as it is highly dependent on how it is applied. It is better to have too much than run short.

While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 104 C in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that 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, especially for a color collection like Pantone which is designed for bright colors and inks.
