Pantone™ PMS 508 C

PMS 508 C paint is matched to the Pantone standard, but the final appearance can differ from the color swatch in a Pantone book because paint is a liquid-applied material with varying sheen and substrate influences. Pantone books serve as reference guides for color targets and are printed on specific papers with a set finish. For accurate evaluation, always check PMS 508 C paint samples on the actual material and finish intended for your project. Factors like gloss level and lighting can affect how PMS 508 C is perceived compared to the book sample.

Many plastics and low energy surfaces require special surface preparation to achieve proper adhesion with PMS 508 C paint. Some plastics such as polypropylene or polyethylene may need a specific primer designed for plastic or an adhesion promoter before applying the color. Always test PMS 508 C on your intended plastic substrate before proceeding with production, as results can vary based on the material type and surface condition.

To order the correct color, always specify the exact Pantone code, in this case PMS 508 C, and include any suffix such as ''C'' (coated), ''U'' (uncoated), or other relevant details. Pantone names and codes are standardized references, and using the full code ensures you receive paint matched to the intended color standard. Double check your brand or project requirements for the precise code before submitting your order.

If you are unsure which paint format or finish will work best for PMS 508 C, contact MyPerfectColor with details about your substrate, how and where the project will be used, and your finish preference. Providing this information helps ensure that the selected PMS 508 C paint format is suitable for achieving your intended result and for the performance needs of your brand experience or display.

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 508 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 508 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.
