Pantone™ PMS 179 C

Pantone PMS 179 C is a highly saturated red-orange color, which makes achieving a precise match across different paint types and substrates challenging. MyPerfectColor specializes in matching Pantone colors, but factors like surface material, lighting, and finish will affect the perceived color. While visual alignment is excellent for branding, signage, and display projects, very slight shifts may occur due to paint chemistry and the difference between ink and paint systems. For projects demanding strict visual brand accuracy, always review a sample under actual project conditions and lighting.

Paints matched to PMS 179 C are bold and highly saturated, which means they may require additional coats to achieve full, uniform coverage, especially over high-contrast or porous surfaces. For best results, ensure the substrate is properly prepared and consider using a tinted primer or additional coats to minimize show-through. Coverage can also be affected by the finish and the type of paint selected.

The Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for paint matched to Pantone PMS 179 C is specific to the product type and not the color itself. To access the appropriate SDS, refer to the SDS library and select the paint format and brand you are ordering. Always review the SDS for important safety, handling, and regulatory information before use.

Whether a primer is needed for PMS 179 C depends on factors such as the substrate material, paint type, and exposure. A primer is typically recommended for new, uncoated, or porous surfaces to improve adhesion and coverage. For high-contrast surfaces or when consistent color appearance is critical, priming will help achieve uniform results. Consult product-specific primer recommendations or reach out for project-specific guidance if unsure.

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 179 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 179 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.
