Pantone™ PMS 9520 C

Pantone codes, including PMS 9520 C, may use suffixes or series letters (like C for coated). It is important to check your brand guidelines or project documentation to confirm you are referencing the correct Pantone code. Ordering the wrong suffix or series can result in a noticeable difference in color or finish. Always verify you are specifying PMS 9520 C if that is the required reference.

For PMS 9520 C, consistent surface preparation, mixing, and application technique are key for even results. Plan for full, even coats rather than spot coverage, and maintain a wet edge to avoid lap marks or visible join lines. Highly saturated colors like PMS 9520 C may need more coats to reach full opacity over light or dark substrates. Test your workflow on a sample area first to ensure coverage and uniformity meet your visual standard.

The appearance of PMS 9520 C will shift depending on the type of lighting and environment where it is viewed. Brightness, warmth, and color can vary noticeably under daylight, fluorescent, and LED sources. To ensure PMS 9520 C meets expectations for your display or brand environment, evaluate samples under the actual lighting conditions where the finished result will be seen.

If you plan to use PMS 9520 C matched paint on plastics or surfaces that resist adhesion, be aware that many plastics require special primers or surface preparation to achieve proper bond. Test the paint on your specific material before full-scale application, and consult product instructions or technical support for guidance on maximizing adhesion.

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 9520 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 9520 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.
