Pantone™ PMS 157 C

When you order paint matched to Pantone PMS 157 C, you are specifying a color based on an established Pantone standard. PMS 157 C is a visual reference, not a unique paint formula or process. The goal is to reproduce the visual target as closely as possible in your chosen paint format, but the actual color result may be influenced by the type of paint, finish, application method, and substrate. Always review a color sample in your intended environment and finish to confirm it aligns with your project requirements.

Pantone PMS 157 C paint is intended for creating visually consistent finishes for brand-facing or display projects, not for touch-up or precise repair of existing items. If you need a touch-up-grade result, it is best to send a physical part for a custom match so the paint will be optimized for your specific substrate and application. Standard Pantone color matching focuses on reproducing the color standard, which may not perfectly align with the finish or aging of existing items.

Safety and VOC guidelines for Pantone PMS 157 C paint depend on the specific product you select, such as spray paint, paint pen, or house paint. Always review and follow the safety data sheet (SDS) for your chosen product, use proper protective gear, and ensure ventilation during application. Compliance with handling and disposal best practices is important for all paint products, regardless of the color being used.

For optimal results with spray paint matched to Pantone PMS 157 C, apply several thin coats rather than one heavy coat. Allow sufficient drying or flash time between coats. This approach helps achieve even coverage and a consistent appearance, especially for colors like PMS 157 C that have moderate saturation and may require additional build for full hide. Following these steps supports a professional finish and reduces the risk of runs or uneven color.

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 157 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 157 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.
