Pantone™ PMS 812 C

The appearance of Pantone PMS 812 C may vary depending on the material, texture, and finish of the surface you apply it to. Factors like absorption, reflectivity, and surface texture can change how the color is perceived. For example, plastics, metals, and painted wood can each show PMS 812 C with different brightness or saturation even using the same paint formula. For critical brand and display applications, always evaluate a painted sample on the actual substrate and in the intended lighting conditions before final production.

Proper surface preparation ensures Pantone PMS 812 C delivers its full color impact and adhesion. Clean all surfaces thoroughly to remove dust, grease, or contaminants. Degrease glossy or oily substrates. Lightly scuff glossy surfaces to promote paint adhesion, and make sure the substrate is dry before painting. It is recommended to test PMS 812 C on a small area first, especially on unfamiliar or challenging substrates, to verify appearance and adhesion in your specific environment.

Pantone PMS 812 C is part of a licensed, standardized color system used for brand consistency. Ordering from an authorized source like MyPerfectColor ensures the paint is formulated to accurately match the Pantone standard, which is critical for branding, displays, and marketing work. Unauthorized sources may not use the correct references, resulting in visible color shifts and inconsistency between components or materials.

Pantone PMS 812 C paint is custom mixed for each order. It is important to confirm you have selected the correct product type, sheen, and format for your project, as custom orders are not easily revised or returned. For large, visible projects or multi-material jobs, it is recommended to order a sample first and evaluate it in your actual conditions. Doing so helps ensure that PMS 812 C delivers the expected brand impact in your final installation.

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 812 C. MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use.

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 812 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.
