Pantone™ PMS 5425 C

When using Pantone PMS 5425 C in prototypes or concept models, select a paint format that matches your substrate and project requirements, such as spray paint for even coverage or paint pens for smaller details. It is essential to evaluate the color under the same lighting and finish conditions expected in the final application, as PMS 5425 C can look different depending on gloss and ambient light. Always test a sample on your chosen material before moving to full production to confirm the color reflects your intended brand alignment. This process helps avoid surprises and supports faster brand approval for your prototype or mockup.

Plastics and other low-energy surfaces often need special surface preparation to achieve proper adhesion with Pantone PMS 5425 C paint. Surface types and plastic chemistry vary widely, so use a compatible primer designed for plastic if needed. Always apply a test coat of PMS 5425 C to a sample or an inconspicuous area of your actual material before production runs. This helps confirm both color appearance and adhesion performance before you commit to the full job. Skipping this testing step increases the risk of poor adhesion or unsatisfactory brand color presentation.

When you order Pantone PMS 5425 C paint, you are getting a paint product formulated to visually match the standardized Pantone 5425 C color target. Pantone PMS codes are standardized reference points, not specific paint recipes or coating processes. This means PMS 5425 C paint from MyPerfectColor is matched to look like the Pantone standard under typical conditions but may appear different depending on substrate, finish, and lighting. Always review a physical sample and select the correct finish and format for your needs to achieve your brand consistency goals.

To use Pantone PMS 5425 C effectively in brand settings, match the paint type to your exposure conditions. For interiors, standard or specialty finishes work in most controlled environments. For exteriors, select an exterior-rated paint to handle weather and UV exposure. Confirm the finish (matte, satin, gloss) that best supports your visual intent, as sheen can change how PMS 5425 C looks. If in doubt, test under actual site lighting before final application to ensure the color performs as intended in your space.

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 5425 C. MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use.

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 5425 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.
