Pantone™ PMS 5747 C

When comparing PMS 5747 C samples for approval, always view each sample under the same lighting conditions, ideally the lighting used at the final installation site. Use the same substrate type and finish as the end project to avoid unwanted color shifts. Make sure coated samples are fully dry and cured before making judgments, as wet or partially cured paint may appear darker or glossier than the final result. This approach helps you make reliable approval decisions and minimizes unexpected variation in the final environment.

For PMS 5747 C on metal or powder-coated surfaces, thorough preparation is critical for color accuracy and durability. Clean and scuff the surface to help the paint adhere well, and address any existing coatings, gloss, or texture that might influence the perceived color. Be aware that surface sheen and finish differences can cause PMS 5747 C to appear either richer or more muted. It is best to test a sample on the actual substrate and finish to confirm the final color appearance before full production.

To ensure PMS 5747 C meets project expectations, choose the paint type based on location and performance needs. For interior branding, use interior-grade paints in the preferred finish, such as matte or gloss, depending on the look and environmental conditions. For exterior projects or signs, select an exterior-rated paint that withstands weather and UV exposure. Mismatching paint type to environment can cause fading or premature failure, so confirm your use case before ordering.

PMS 5747 C is a standardized Pantone Matching System color used in brand programs to ensure a consistent and recognizable appearance across displays, signage, and environments. By specifying PMS 5747 C, brands achieve visual consistency throughout all materials and installations, supporting a unified and professional presence. Using the Pantone reference ensures everyone in the production chain is targeting the same color standard, which is critical for brand alignment and marketing impact.

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 5747 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 5747 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.
