Pantone™ PMS 5497 C

Safety and VOC characteristics for paints matched to PMS 5497 C depend on the specific product type you select, such as spray paint, urethane, or epoxy. Always review the Safety Data Sheet for your chosen product before use. Follow safe handling instructions, ensure adequate ventilation, and use personal protective equipment as recommended for the application format. MyPerfectColor can provide SDS documentation for any available PMS 5497 C product format.

If you are not sure which paint format or formulation is best for matching Pantone PMS 5497 C, contact MyPerfectColor with details about your substrate, intended environment, application goals, and finish requirements. This will help select the product that meets your operational needs and ensures strong alignment with your brand or project specifications.

The final look of PMS 5497 C can change depending on the surface texture of your application. Smoother surfaces reflect light evenly and may make the color appear more uniform and slightly lighter, while textured surfaces can create shadows and visual variations, making the color look darker or more muted. For brand consistency, plan for surface prep that delivers a predictable texture and consider making samples if the application surface varies from your reference standard.

To achieve the most uniform and visually consistent finish for PMS 5497 C, apply several light coats instead of a single heavy coat. Allow proper flash or drying time between coats to avoid runs or uneven build. This improves coverage and color consistency, an important factor for brand-facing applications. Precise timing will depend on product type, temperature, and humidity, so refer to product instructions and observe your conditions while spraying.

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 5497 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 5497 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.
