Pantone™ PMS 2023 C

PMS 2023 C paint is matched to the Pantone PMS 2023 C reference, but differences in sheen, substrate, and lighting can affect how the color appears compared to a Pantone book chip. Pantone guides use ink on paper as a standard. Paints may look brighter or less saturated depending on gloss or the surface they are applied to. To make sure the result meets your expectations, always sample PMS 2023 C on the actual material in its intended finish and lighting before final production.

When applying PMS 2023 C to metal or powder-coated surfaces, thorough preparation is essential. Clean and scuff the surface to ensure good adhesion and consistent appearance. Existing coatings, gloss level, and surface texture can change how PMS 2023 C looks in the final result. Color and vibrancy are most reliable when the paint is applied evenly over properly prepped material. For best results, order a sample of PMS 2023 C and test it on the specific metal or part you plan to use to confirm color and finish performance before full production.

The Pantone code 'PMS 2023 C' is a unique identifier for the target color. Using both the code and the full name helps avoid confusion with similar colors or variants. Pantone codes may include suffixes like 'C', 'U', or 'M', which refer to different print substrates and can specify different shades. Always provide the complete code and name when ordering PMS 2023 C to ensure you receive the correct color match for your project. Failing to specify the exact code can result in ordering the wrong color target.

To select the appropriate PMS 2023 C paint, consider where the painted surface will be used. For indoor projects, interior paints are usually sufficient and offer a choice of sheens to match branding needs. For exterior or exposed environments, choose a paint specifically formulated for outdoor durability to retain the color and finish of PMS 2023 C over time. Always confirm you are ordering the right format for your application before proceeding.

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 2023 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 2023 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.
