Pantone™ PMS 562 C

Pantone PMS 562 C is often specified for prototypes and concept models when accurate brand color representation is a priority. Using PMS 562 C ensures that early stage models communicate the intended brand identity. It is recommended to select a paint format such as spray paint or paint pens based on model material and application needs. Prior to full production, test PMS 562 C on actual prototype materials to confirm color appearance, as finish and lighting can influence how the color reads compared to printed guides or digital references.

When applying Pantone PMS 562 C to plastic or low energy surfaces, surface preparation is critical since adhesion can vary depending on the material. Many plastics require the use of a specialized primer designed to promote paint adhesion. Always test PMS 562 C paint on the actual plastic you plan to use for your project, as some materials may resist coatings. Confirm adhesion and final color appearance before proceeding with larger production runs to avoid performance or color alignment issues.

Pantone PMS 562 C is chosen for signs, displays, and exhibit components when consistent brand color is specified. Using PMS 562 C as a reference ensures that fabricated elements visually align with brand guidelines. Before committing to production, it is best practice to apply a sample of PMS 562 C on the actual intended substrate. This helps confirm the color's appearance takes into account the effects of substrate, sheen, and lighting conditions-important steps for meeting brand expectations in finished environments.

Ordering a standard Pantone PMS 562 C paint match is appropriate for most marketing, display, exhibit, and prototyping applications where alignment with the Pantone PMS standard is the goal. PMS 562 C is suitable for cases where visual brand consistency on fabricated or conceptual elements takes priority over matching specific substrates or legacy colors. If your project requires samples for visual sign-off or involves several different substrate types, testing on actual materials is recommended before full 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 562 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 562 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.
