Pantone™ PMS 243 C

The safety and VOC profile for paints matched to PMS 243 C depends on the specific product type and formulation you order. Always review the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provided with your PMS 243 C paint and follow all recommended handling, ventilation, and personal protective equipment instructions. Use good ventilation and proper safety gear, especially when spraying or applying in enclosed spaces.

For PMS 243 C spray paint, apply several light coats instead of one heavy coat. Allow proper drying or flash time between coats to achieve an even, accurate color and reduce the risk of runs. This approach helps ensure better coverage and appearance, especially with lighter or pastel Pantone colors like PMS 243 C.

PMS 243 C is specified in sign, display, and exhibit fabrication to maintain brand consistency and meet visual identity standards. Designers and brands use Pantone codes like PMS 243 C for a precise color target across vendors and materials. For critical applications, it is recommended to sample PMS 243 C paint on the actual substrate so the finished color can be evaluated under real lighting and finish conditions.

PMS 243 C is available as custom spray paint, paint pens, brush-in-cap bottles, and in other options depending on your application needs. Choose spray paint for larger displays or even coverage on dimensional elements. Paint pens and brush-in-cap bottles are useful for small graphics, detail work, or prototyping. Confirm your substrate and project scale before selecting a format to achieve the best visual match for PMS 243 C.

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 243 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 243 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.
