Pantone™ PMS 192 C

To avoid mistakes when ordering paint matched to Pantone PMS 192 C, always provide the full Pantone code, including the number and suffix. For this color, use 'PMS 192 C' as your reference. The 'C' indicates the Coated series, which can impact the color target. Using only the color name or omitting part of the code may result in the wrong shade being produced. Always double-check your brand guidelines or print samples for the exact code required.

When using PMS 192 C on plastics or low-surface-energy materials, substrate preparation is critical. Plastics vary widely in how well paint adheres, and many require a specific primer or adhesion promoter to achieve lasting results. Before full production, test PMS 192 C paint on the actual plastic under real-world conditions. This step helps confirm adhesion and appearance, reducing the risk of mismatches or peeling. Consult with your fabrication team to select the right primer for your specific material.

The finish or sheen you select for PMS 192 C will affect its visual impact. Gloss finishes can make this red appear brighter and more vibrant, while matte or satin finishes may soften the intensity and reduce reflected light. Because PMS 192 C is a saturated red, changes in finish can shift perceived brightness and even alter how warm or bold it seems. Always evaluate a sample in your intended finish, in the actual lighting environment, before finalizing production.

Paint matched to PMS 192 C is made to order, not stocked. Typical lead time depends on the product type and current production volume but is usually several business days from order to shipping. Urgent marketing and branding schedules should plan for this timing. Lead times may extend during periods of high demand or for specialty formats, such as epoxies or custom spray paint. To avoid delays, order as early as possible and confirm requirements with your team in advance.

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 192 C. MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use.

While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 192 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.
