Pantone™ PMS 352 C

The code 'PMS 352 C' is the standardized Pantone identifier that defines the exact target color. Pantone names and codes are used together, but the code (including any suffix such as 'C' for coated) is what ensures you receive the right match. When ordering paint for PMS 352 C, always specify the full code to avoid confusion with similar colors or different finishes. Double check your brand standards or design requirements and include the suffix in your order for best results.

Paint matched to PMS 352 C is made to order. Typical lead times depend on the specific product type and current production volume. Standard production times are usually a few business days, but some specialty formats may take longer. For urgent project schedules or large orders, it is best to confirm timing before ordering so you can align delivery with your installation or fabrication timeline.

Pantone PMS books provide a visual reference for PMS 352 C under specific printing conditions, usually on coated or uncoated paper. Paint color can appear different versus the swatch due to differences in gloss, substrate, and viewing light. For brand-critical work, always evaluate a sample of PMS 352 C paint on your actual material and under the intended lighting before full production. This approach helps confirm expectations and reduces match-risk with brand standards.

When painting metal or powder-coated substrates with PMS 352 C, surface preparation is critical. Scuff sand and clean the surface to promote adhesion and remove contaminants. Be aware that gloss and base color of the original coating can change the final appearance, especially with a light color like PMS 352 C. A test panel or sample on your actual part is strongly recommended before proceeding with full production, so you can confirm visual results and brand alignment.

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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 352 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.
