Pantone™ PMS 808 C

Durability for spray paint matched to Pantone PMS 808 C depends on proper preparation of the substrate, the choice of topcoat, and the exposure conditions of the project. For best results, ensure surfaces are clean, dry, and properly primed before application. Outdoor or high-traffic installations may require a clear protective topcoat to improve longevity and maintain color appearance. Select the paint type that meets the demands of your environment and always follow recommended surface prep and coating instructions for brand-consistent visual impact.

When using Pantone PMS 808 C paint on plastics or low-surface-energy surfaces, substrate compatibility is critical. Many plastics require a dedicated adhesion primer, and some may not accept paint without additional surface treatments. Test PMS 808 C paint on the actual plastic material before moving to production or installation to ensure proper adhesion and appearance. This step helps prevent peeling or color failure and supports accurate brand presentation.

Pantone color codes like PMS 808 C may include series or suffixes that indicate a specific color reference within the Pantone system. To ensure you receive the intended color for branding or display projects, always confirm the full code and suffix matches your brand documentation or standards. Ordering the correct version of PMS 808 C avoids misalignment with visual brand expectations and ensures project consistency.

To maintain uniformity when applying Pantone PMS 808 C on large surfaces, plan for consistent application technique, work in sections, and maintain a wet edge when spraying or rolling. Use multiple even coats instead of a single heavy coat, especially with highly saturated colors like PMS 808 C, to avoid patchiness or uneven hide. Proper lighting during application helps catch coverage gaps and ensures a brand-consistent finish.

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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 808 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.
