Hey there,
In Illustrator there is a way you can open up various pantone color sets (coated, uncoated etc). Coated i believe means it has a shine, uncoated is more muted... etc etc. The only way to accuratedly know how those colors will print is to purchase or get a hold of a Pantone Swatch book. In there you will see each color printed in a swatch as it will appear printed on your b-cards and what not.
Pantone colors are expensive to print, but if your client really wants that, all you really have to do is open up a pantone color set in Illustrator and replace your current CMYK colors with similar colors from the Pantone set. You might need to approximate some, but you shouldn't have too bad of a time doing that.
Any of this makes any sense?
