Pantone™ PMS 109 U

PMS 109 U is a vivid Pantone yellow, and surface texture can noticeably affect how it is perceived. Smooth substrates tend to reflect light more evenly, making the color appear brighter and cleaner. Textured or porous surfaces create more shadowing and uneven reflection, which can make PMS 109 U look darker, duller, or less saturated even when the color match is correct.

If visual accuracy is critical, especially for brand-facing displays, evaluate PMS 109 U on the actual substrate and finish you plan to use rather than relying on a flat sample.

When timing is critical, expedited production is typically available as an option during checkout for PMS 109 U. This shortens production time compared to standard processing.

If you have a fixed install or event date, it is recommended to contact MyPerfectColor before ordering to confirm current lead times and whether expedited production will meet your deadline.

Durability for PMS 109 U spray paint depends on surface preparation, the paint type selected, and the environment where it will be used. Proper cleaning, priming, and applying recommended coats are key to achieving reliable performance.

For higher exposure environments, selecting an appropriate paint type and considering a compatible topcoat can improve longevity. Because conditions vary, PMS 109 U should be evaluated based on how and where it will be used rather than assuming a single durability level.

PMS 109 U is a highly saturated Pantone color, which means it may not hide as efficiently as more muted colors. It is common to plan for additional coats to achieve uniform coverage, especially on darker or uneven substrates.

Using an appropriate undercoat can improve consistency and reduce the number of finish coats needed. Testing PMS 109 U on your actual surface helps set realistic expectations for coverage before full production.

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 109 U. 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 109 U 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.
