Durability of spray paint matched to Pantone PMS 524 C depends on substrate preparation, choice of topcoat, and environmental conditions. For display and brand experience use, it is critical to select the correct paint type for your project's exposure to abrasion, sunlight, or humidity. Proper substrate prep and optional protective topcoats can improve longevity. Always evaluate requirements for your installation or prototype before selecting spray paint for PMS 524 C.
Pantone PMS 524 C can be ordered as custom spray paint, paint pens, brush-in-cap bottles, and in other coatings such as housepaint or specialty finishes where offered. Consider the size and type of your display, prototype, or fabricated component to select the most suitable format. Spray paint is often chosen for coverage and ease on larger brand-driven displays, while paint pens and brush-in-cap bottles support detailed work. Select your format to match both the application area and the required level of control.
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.

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 524 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.
