Pantone™ PMS 2010 C

When working with paints matched to Pantone PMS 2010 C, safety requirements and VOC content will depend on the specific paint type and format you select. For any product, always review the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) before use, follow personal protective equipment recommendations, and ensure proper ventilation during application. Never assume all Pantone-matched coatings share the same handling or environmental requirements. Refer to the supplied documentation for the product you plan to use.

When painting plastics or low-energy materials with PMS 2010 C, be aware that different plastics vary in their ability to hold paint. Most plastics require a compatible primer or special surface preparation to achieve good adhesion. Always test the selected PMS 2010 C paint system on the specific plastic or surface before starting production, as performance can vary widely. This approach helps prevent issues with adhesion and ensures the final result meets brand expectations.

It is essential to confirm the exact color code and suffix for Pantone PMS 2010 C before ordering. Pantone PMS codes can include suffixes like C, U, or M, which refer to different reference substrates and can affect the intended color result. Check your brand standards or project documentation to ensure you are requesting the correct reference, as using the wrong code or suffix may lead to a color mismatch in branding or display applications.

PMS 2010 C is a vivid, highly saturated orange, which means it may have lower hide than less intense colors. For best results and a uniform appearance, plan for additional coats and consider using a suitable undercoat or primer, especially when painting over darker or uneven surfaces. Matching the primer color to the final finish can help achieve consistent, brand-accurate coverage for PMS 2010 C in marketing and display environments.

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 2010 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 2010 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.
