Pantone™ PMS 577 C

PMS 577 C is often specified as a brand color for signs, displays, and exhibits where consistent visual branding is required across various materials and production runs. In these settings, Pantone PMS codes serve as a reference target for fabricators to visually align painted or coated components with brand standards. However, the final appearance of PMS 577 C can shift due to differences in substrate, finish, or lighting conditions. For critical brand applications, it is recommended to sample PMS 577 C on the actual material before full production, allowing stakeholders to assess the color under intended viewing conditions and confirm brand alignment.

When applying PMS 577 C paint to plastics or other low-surface-energy materials, it is important to recognize that adhesion can vary widely between plastic types. Some plastics require specialized primers or surface preparation to achieve reliable paint adhesion. Before starting production, it is recommended to test PMS 577 C paint and any primer on your specific plastic material. This testing ensures both adequate adhesion and correct color appearance, reducing the risk of delamination or color variation in the finished item.

Ordering Pantone PMS 577 C in paint means you are requesting a coating visually matched to the Pantone PMS 577 C color standard. The Pantone PMS code is a color reference used for consistent branding and visual alignment, not a specification for any particular paint formula, type, or finish. When you order PMS 577 C paint, the goal is to achieve a close visual match under defined conditions, but substrate, gloss, and lighting may affect the result. It does not guarantee a match to other coatings or products labeled as PMS 577 C, nor does it specify particular performance attributes beyond color.

A single spray can of PMS 577 C typically covers about 20 square feet with one coat, though actual coverage may vary depending on the surface texture, application method, and whether multiple coats are needed for full color opacity and uniformity. For brand and display work, two coats are often recommended for consistent color and appearance. To estimate the quantity needed, measure your total project area, consider the number of coats and account for surface type. For highly visible or brand-critical applications, order extra for testing and sample panels.

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 577 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 577 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.
