Pantone™ PMS 300 C

When using PMS 300 C for prototypes or concept models, start by choosing the paint format best suited to your material and workflow. Custom spray paint provides a uniform coating on most surfaces, while paint pens or brush-in-cap bottles offer control on smaller parts or for detail work. For brand alignment, it is important to evaluate PMS 300 C side by side with an official Pantone reference chip in the intended lighting and finish. If finish or substrate affects appearance, order a small painted sample or test panel first. PMS 300 C is highly saturated, so review coverage and apply as many coats as needed for full color impact. Visual evaluation during prototyping helps ensure the result will meet brand expectations before committing to full production.

PMS 300 C is a vivid, low-LRV color and may need a primer to achieve accurate color and consistent coverage. For best results, apply PMS 300 C over a smooth, neutral-colored primer, particularly on porous, dark, or uneven substrates. Metal, plastic, and unfinished surfaces typically require a primer for adhesion and color uniformity. If unsure, follow the primer guidance for the specific paint type you order. Proper priming reduces the risk of undertone shifts and improves color consistency for branding and prototype projects.

PMS 300 C can look noticeably different under varying light sources due to its high chromatic intensity and blue saturation. Daylight, fluorescent, and LED lighting each influence how PMS 300 C appears, sometimes shifting the perceived brightness or undertone. To evaluate accurately, always check painted samples of PMS 300 C under the same lighting where your brand display or prototype will be viewed. This reduces the risk of brand misalignment caused by lighting changes and helps ensure the intended visual impact is achieved.

PMS 300 C is available in custom spray paint and other paint formats for branding and display applications, including paint pens and brush-in-cap bottles. Spray paint is recommended for even coverage on larger areas or complex shapes. Paint pens and brush-in-cap bottles are suitable for small parts, detail work, or color tests. For prototype or display work, select the format that best fits your substrate and project size, and always confirm finish and appearance on a test panel before proceeding with the final application.

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 300 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 300 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.
