Pantone™ PMS 8283 C

Pantone PMS 8283 C is a metallic teal-green that can look noticeably different under various lighting types, such as daylight, fluorescent, or LED. The metallic effect means perceived brightness, color balance, and vibrancy will shift depending on the light source and angle of view. Always review PMS 8283 C samples in the actual lighting and setting where the final application will be displayed to confirm the color meets your brand needs.

Sampling PMS 8283 C is highly recommended for large or high-visibility installations, permanent brand displays, or situations where approval is needed under specific lighting. Metallic finishes like PMS 8283 C are especially sensitive to factors such as lighting, substrate, and surface prep. A sample allows you to confirm the metallic effect and brand alignment before committing to a full project order.

The durability of PMS 8283 C spray paint depends on the paint type selected, substrate preparation, and environmental conditions. For best results, ensure the surface is clean, smooth, and properly primed. If the application will face frequent handling, weather, or UV exposure, consider a compatible clear topcoat and select a paint type rated for those conditions. Discuss your project's needs to identify the appropriate paint formulation for PMS 8283 C.

Before painting metal or powder-coated parts with PMS 8283 C, thoroughly scuff and clean the surface to ensure good adhesion. Existing coatings, texture, and gloss level can significantly alter how PMS 8283 C appears, especially due to its metallic finish. It is important to sample on your actual substrate and finish whenever brand appearance is critical, so you can confirm the color and effect under your display conditions.

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 8283 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.
