Pantone™ PMS 429 C

Pantone books provide the official reference standard for PMS 429 C. Paint colors are matched visually to these references, but actual painted results can differ based on sheen, substrate, and lighting. Variations between the printed swatch and a painted surface are normal, especially between finishes like gloss and matte. For the most reliable results, always compare a painted sample of PMS 429 C to your Pantone book under the same lighting and on the actual substrate you will use in your project. This helps ensure your expectations for brand accuracy are met before a full production run.

If you are using PMS 429 C on metal or over a powder-coated part, surface prep is important. Properly clean and scuff the surface to promote adhesion and even coverage. Pre-existing coatings, textures, or gloss levels can all affect how PMS 429 C appears after painting. Differences in sheen may change the visual brightness or undertone of the color. Evaluate a sample panel on your actual substrate before committing to production to confirm appearance and finish compatibility.

When using PMS 429 C for pop-ups, retail displays, or brand experiences, evaluate the color under your actual lighting before rolling out the installation. Lighting can shift how the gray and its undertones appear, and durability requirements may affect your choice of paint type. Test a painted sample onsite to verify both color consistency and wear performance. This approach helps align your results with brand standards and supports confident decisions for larger projects.

For guidance on choosing the ideal paint type for PMS 429 C, contact MyPerfectColor with details about your substrate, project environment, and desired finish. Providing this information helps the team recommend the right product format for brand consistency and the specific demands of your application, whether you need spray paint, paint pens, or another format for display or marketing use.

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 429 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 429 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.
