Pantone™ PMS Process Cyan C

Changing the finish of Pantone PMS Process Cyan C, for example from matte to gloss, can make the color look noticeably different even when the same color target is used. Glossy finishes can intensify color saturation and brightness, making PMS Process Cyan C appear more vivid and lighter. Matte finishes may cause the color to look slightly muted and less vibrant. For brand consistency, always compare samples with the same finish and view them under the intended lighting conditions.

Pantone PMS Process Cyan C paint is made to order to ensure accurate color matching. Lead times vary by product format and current production schedules. Most paint orders ship within a few business days, but high volume or specialty formats may require more time. Plan your project timeline accordingly and order early when possible.

Pantone PMS Process Cyan C is commonly selected for prototypes and concept models when precise brand color alignment is essential. Using the correct Pantone color helps ensure that presentations, samples, or display mockups communicate the intended brand identity accurately. It is important to specify both the color and finish, and to evaluate the painted sample in its final application context. Paint is available in spray, paint pen, and other formats suited for prototyping needs.

For large projects using Pantone PMS Process Cyan C, consistent application technique is key to achieving a uniform look. Always use the same product batch across the area, apply even coats, and allow sufficient drying time between layers. Highly saturated colors like PMS Process Cyan C may require additional coats to achieve full opacity and avoid patchiness. Testing coverage on a sample panel first can help determine the needed number of coats for your specific substrate.

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 Process Cyan 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 Process Cyan 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.
