Pantone™ PMS 305 C

To keep PMS 305 C results consistent from batch to batch, always use the same product type and sheen for all orders. Small differences in finish or material can alter appearance. Make sure to use the same Pantone reference or approved sample as your color target each time, and compare completed pieces under the same lighting conditions. If you plan to reorder for new branding or display projects, share any approval details from past orders so results stay visually aligned.

For best color and adhesion with PMS 305 C, first clean your surface thoroughly to remove dust, dirt, oils, or grease. A mild detergent or degreaser is helpful. Lightly scuff glossy or slick surfaces to promote paint bond if appropriate. Make sure the surface is dry before painting. Always test a small area first to check compatibility and hide, especially with vivid colors like PMS 305 C that may require extra coverage on contrasting backgrounds.

When ordering PMS 305 C, always use the exact Pantone code including any suffix such as the 'C' for coated. The name 'PMS 305 C' refers to this specific Pantone color standard, but the code eliminates confusion with similar colors. Confirm the code with your brand guidelines to ensure you are targeting the right color for your branding or display project.

The Safety Data Sheet for paint matched to PMS 305 C depends on the specific paint product or format you select, not the color itself. To get the correct SDS, refer to the SDS library for your chosen spray paint, paint pen, or other product format. If you need help locating the SDS for a particular product, contact customer support with the product details.

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 305 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 305 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.
