Pantone™ PMS 2085 C

A Pantone color like PMS 2085 C can appear noticeably different in gloss versus matte finishes, even when the base color is precisely matched. Glossy finishes tend to intensify saturation and make colors appear brighter and more vibrant, while matte finishes can make the same color look softer and less saturated. When evaluating PMS 2085 C for a project, always compare samples with the same sheen to set accurate expectations for appearance and brand presentation.

If you intend to use PMS 2085 C on plastic or a low-energy surface, understand that adhesion can vary widely depending on the material. Some plastics require specialized primers or surface preparation for the paint to bond effectively. It is strongly recommended to test PMS 2085 C paint on a sample of the actual substrate prior to full production to confirm adhesion and final appearance. Consult product documentation to determine primer compatibility for your specific project needs.

To avoid errors, always specify the full Pantone code 'PMS 2085 C' when ordering paint. Pantone codes identify precise color standards, while abbreviated or missing suffixes (such as 'C' for coated) can result in receiving a different color version. Double-check brand specifications and use the exact code shown in your brand documentation or style guide to ensure a correct match for displays, prototypes, or marketing assets.

The Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for paint in PMS 2085 C is determined by the specific type of paint or format you select, not by the color itself. To access the SDS, locate the sheet corresponding to the chosen product format in the SDS library provided by MyPerfectColor. If you have questions, reach out with your product details for assistance locating the correct SDS.

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 2085 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 2085 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.
