Pantone™ PMS 2028 C

The Pantone name "PMS 2028 C" describes the color, but the code-"2028 C" in this case-is the precise identifier you need when ordering. The code distinguishes the exact color standard, including finish or material suffixes like "C" for coated. To avoid errors, always provide the full Pantone code and any suffixes when specifying PMS 2028 C, not just the general color name.

PMS 2028 C is a highly saturated yellow and can look different depending on the surface condition and gloss. When painting on metal or over a powder-coated part, thoroughly clean and scuff all surfaces to ensure good adhesion. Any existing coatings or high-gloss finishes should be dulled before application. Because PMS 2028 C can have lower opacity, a white undercoat may help achieve a uniform color. Sampling is strongly recommended to confirm color result and coverage before final production.

PMS 2028 C is often chosen for branded displays in retail and pop-ups due to its high visual impact. Before moving forward with a large installation, test the paint under the expected lighting conditions, as brilliance and saturation can change noticeably. Plan for enough coats since this color may cover less evenly than less saturated yellows. For best durability and brand consistency, specify product type and finish based on traffic and wear expectations, and always review a painted sample before final application.

If you are unsure which paint format is best for your PMS 2028 C application, contact MyPerfectColor with details on your substrate, exposure conditions, and finish goals. Our team can recommend a suitable option such as spray paint, paint pen, or other available formats to help you meet your brand consistency and application needs.

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 2028 C. MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use.

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 2028 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.
