Pantone™ PMS 8240 C

The safety requirements and VOC characteristics of PMS 8240 C matched paint will depend on the product type you select, such as spray paint, brush-in-cap, or another format. Always review the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) provided for your specific product prior to use and follow all recommended safety practices for ventilation, personal protective equipment, and application. If you have workplace or project-specific safety standards, verify that your selected product for PMS 8240 C meets those requirements before ordering or applying.

All Pantone PMS 8240 C paint products are made to order to ensure the closest possible match to the color standard. Typical production lead times depend on the type of product you choose and current manufacturing volume. Most orders ship within a few business days, but large or complex orders for PMS 8240 C may take longer. If your project has a fixed schedule, confirm expected lead times before ordering.

The finish you select for PMS 8240 C, such as gloss, satin, or matte, will have a direct impact on how the color appears. High gloss finishes make PMS 8240 C appear more saturated and vibrant, increasing visual depth and impact, while matte or satin finishes can subdue brightness and reduce glare for better legibility. Consider your project requirements, lighting, and brand guidelines when choosing the finish to achieve the desired visual effect for PMS 8240 C.

PMS 8240 C can be matched in paint formulations designed for interior or exterior use. When deciding, consider the exposure your project will face. For outdoor applications, choose an exterior-grade product to ensure suitable durability and weather resistance. For indoor displays or brand installations, an interior-grade paint may be the best choice for application ease and finish options. Always select the paint type for PMS 8240 C based on where and how it will be used for the best performance and appearance.

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 8240 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 8240 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.
