Frequently Asked Questions About Pantone™ PMS 7440 C

What are the best practices for evaluating PMS 7440 C samples during color approval?

When assessing PMS 7440 C samples, always compare them under consistent lighting conditions and on the same type of material as the final application. Ensure all coatings are fully dry and cured before making a decision, since vibrancy and depth can change as paint dries, especially with saturated colors like PMS 7440 C. A physical Pantone reference should be used alongside a painted sample to confirm the closest visual alignment for your application.

How should I prepare surfaces before applying PMS 7440 C paint for the best results?

Proper surface preparation is essential for PMS 7440 C paint to achieve consistent, brand-accurate results. Start by cleaning and degreasing the surface to remove dust, oils, and residues. Light scuffing may improve adhesion on glossy or smooth materials. Always test the paint in a small, inconspicuous area before full application to ensure compatibility and adhesion. Proper prep helps the deep, saturated qualities of PMS 7440 C appear as intended across different substrates.

Can I use the Pantone PMS 7440 C for touch up?

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.
