Pantone™ PMS 2255 C

When using PMS 2255 C paint in any format, always follow the safety instructions provided with your chosen product. Requirements for ventilation, personal protective equipment, and safe handling can vary depending on the product type such as spray paint, epoxy, or urethane. To make safe decisions, review the Safety Data Sheet (SDS) for your specific paint and follow all recommended practices. Ensure workspaces are well ventilated and keep flammable products away from ignition sources. If you have questions about product safety or VOC content, consult the product documentation or contact the supplier before ordering.

Whether you need a primer before applying Pantone PMS 2255 C depends on the substrate, the chosen paint type, and the conditions the paint will face. Primers are typically recommended for bare, porous, or previously uncoated surfaces, or when switching between very different colors. Highly saturated colors like PMS 2255 C may also need a suitable primer for optimal appearance and coverage. Review the specific product instructions or reach out for primer compatibility guidance to ensure the best adhesion and finish.

PMS 2255 C is a strong choice for prototypes and concept models that require accurate visual brand alignment. Ordering PMS 2255 C paint in spray, brush-in-cap, or other available formats allows designers and fabricators to quickly evaluate brand color impact before final production. For critical review, test the paint on the intended material and lighting environment to confirm color accuracy and finish appearance, as these factors can affect the perception of PMS 2255 C.

Pantone PMS 2255 C is appropriate as a standard match when your project goal is to create a visually consistent branded appearance across displays, signage, exhibit components, or prototypes. If your brand standards specify PMS 2255 C as the target, ordering a standard match is recommended for most marketing and display applications. For high-visibility permanent installations or multi-material applications, evaluate physical samples if formal brand approval is required.

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 2255 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 2255 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.
