Pantone™ PMS 314 C

To ensure you receive the correct color, always specify the exact Pantone code, including the suffix. For example, order as 'PMS 314 C' and do not use similar codes or omit the 'C' suffix, as Pantone assigns different values for different finishes and materials. Double-check your brand standards before placing an order to avoid confusion with similar Pantone numbers.

For best color accuracy when painting metal or powder-coated parts with PMS 314 C, make sure surfaces are properly cleaned and lightly scuffed to help the new coating bond. The previous coating's gloss and color can affect the final result, and highly saturated colors like PMS 314 C may need extra coats for full coverage. Always test a sample on your actual substrate and finish before full production, as lighting and finish level can cause the perceived color to shift from the Pantone reference.

PMS 314 C acts as a visual signature for brands demanding a specific, recognizable color. Using this Pantone PMS color in displays, signage, and environments helps create a unified brand appearance across many materials and locations. Choosing PMS 314 C as your paint reference supports visual consistency, making marketing and display components look intentional and aligned with brand standards.

A standard PMS 314 C paint match is suitable for brand-facing displays, marketing installations, prototyping, and other situations where referencing the Pantone standard delivers strong visual alignment. It is the correct color target when consistent brand appearance matters more than matching an unknown or previously coated surface. If your project is for exhibits, signage, or branded events, ordering a standard match to PMS 314 C supports effective brand presentation.

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 314 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 314 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.
