Pantone™ PMS 1485 C

To represent PMS 1485 C accurately in prototypes or concept models, select a paint format that is compatible with your materials such as spray paint, paint pens, or brush-in-cap bottles. Apply PMS 1485 C to the same substrate intended for final production when possible. Evaluate your results under the lighting conditions where the product or display will be used. This ensures your prototype aligns visually with brand expectations. Allow all coatings to dry according to manufacturer instructions before comparing. If brand approval is required, confirm acceptance standards with your stakeholders early in the process.

PMS 1485 C is a light and highly saturated orange, which means it may provide less hide over dark or contrasting substrates. For the most uniform and vivid result, consider applying a white or light-colored undercoat before painting with PMS 1485 C. Plan for multiple coats to achieve full coverage and brand-consistent appearance, especially when working on challenging surfaces. Review all finish and substrate specifications to avoid surprises in coverage or appearance.

To accurately compare and approve PMS 1485 C paint samples, always use the same lighting and substrate conditions as the final installation. Let coatings fully dry or cure before evaluation, as color and sheen may shift during drying. Place samples side by side with the approved Pantone reference if available, and assess under the lighting the project will use. Consistency in these variables will give you the most reliable brand alignment and prevent unexpected outcomes during rollout.

Shipping transit time for PMS 1485 C paint depends on your location, the selected shipping method, and current carrier timelines. Custom mixed paints may require additional lead time for production before shipment. To help avoid project delays, plan your order to account for production and transit. If you have a fixed installation or marketing schedule, order as early as possible and consult the supplier for any rush options that fit your timeline.

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 1485 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 1485 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.
