Pantone™ PMS 552 C

Pantone PMS 552 C is a standardized color defined by Pantone, not by any paint company. Most paint brands have their own unique color palettes, and direct cross-references are rarely exact. This means that matching PMS 552 C to another brand's color code may result in noticeable differences in color or finish, especially for light or vivid tones. For brand or display projects where brand accuracy matters, always specify your requirement as Pantone PMS 552 C and do not substitute with a claimed equivalent from another system.

Pantone PMS 552 C is available in several formats including custom spray paint, paint pens, and brush-in-cap bottles. Depending on your project, you may also request other coatings such as epoxy, urethane, or interior and exterior housepaint. Choose spray paint for fast, even coverage on displays or fabricated components, paint pens for detailed graphic elements, and brush-in-cap bottles for small-area application or prototyping. Always confirm format and substrate compatibility for your intended use to ensure brand-consistent results.

Specifying Pantone PMS 552 C allows marketing, display, and fabrication teams to target an exact, standardized color, supporting visual consistency across all branded materials. By using the PMS 552 C code, you communicate a precise target that can be matched across different vendors and materials, reducing the risk of inconsistent color or off-brand results in displays, environments, or marketing assets.

Sampling PMS 552 C is strongly recommended for high-visibility brand projects, large installations, or where approval is required by brand stakeholders. It is also important to sample when your substrate, finish, or lighting might affect the color appearance, or when maximum brand or client acceptance is needed. Sampling helps confirm that PMS 552 C looks correct in your actual environment and on your chosen material before committing to full-scale production.

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 552 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 552 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.
