Pantone™ PMS 8180 C

PMS 8180 C is often specified for fabricated sign, display, and exhibit elements when consistent brand color is essential. The Pantone PMS 8180 C code provides a standardized color reference that helps maintain brand alignment across materials and suppliers. For critical projects, it is recommended to sample PMS 8180 C in the same substrate and finish to be used in the final installation, as results may vary depending on material and application method. Sampling ensures that the produced color meets the project''s visual requirements in real-world conditions.

PMS 8180 C paint is made to order to match the Pantone standard and is not stocked as a ready-made product. Because it is custom produced for your specific project, orders for PMS 8180 C cannot be changed or returned once production has started. It is important to confirm your selection of product type, sheen, and packaging before submitting your order. If appearance is critical, consider ordering a sample of PMS 8180 C in the intended finish and substrate to confirm that it meets your expectations.

Yes, PMS 8180 C can look noticeably different depending on the lighting. Factors like natural daylight, LED, or fluorescent light sources can alter the perception of the color''s saturation and undertone. To achieve consistent results, always evaluate samples of PMS 8180 C under the actual lighting in which the finished product will be used. This practice reduces the risk of unexpected color shifts in brand-critical environments.

PMS 8180 C paint is custom mixed after you place your order, so lead time depends on product type and current demand. Most orders require several business days for production before shipping. If your project is time sensitive, review current lead time estimates and plan your order in advance to ensure you have PMS 8180 C when needed.

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 8180 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 8180 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.
