Pantone™ PMS 135 U

PMS 135 U is a Pantone PMS color, which means it is a licensed color standard used for brand communication, not a generic paint name. Ordering a licensed reproduction ensures the paint is matched to the official Pantone reference rather than an estimated or visually similar color.

MyPerfectColor is authorized to reproduce Pantone PMS colors, so PMS 135 U is matched against the Pantone standard using controlled methods. This reduces risk when brand accuracy matters across signage, displays, and marketing environments.

PMS 135 U is a vivid Pantone color, and saturated hues like this can have lower hide than neutral colors. Depending on the substrate and paint format, multiple coats may be needed to achieve uniform color.

Using a suitable undercoat can improve coverage and reduce the number of finish coats required. Planning for test application is recommended so you can confirm hide and appearance before committing to a full production run.

Allow the paint to fully dry and cure before making a final judgment. Freshly applied coatings can appear different from their stabilized appearance, especially with bright Pantone colors.

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 135 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 135 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.
