Pantone™ PMS 154 U

When approving a Pantone PMS 154 U match, compare samples under consistent lighting and on the same type of substrate. View the painted sample next to a Pantone reference in neutral lighting, not mixed daylight and artificial light.

Allow the paint to fully dry and cure before making a final decision, as color can shift slightly during drying. Make sure all samples are evaluated with the same sheen, since gloss level can noticeably change how PMS 154 U appears.

For best results with Pantone PMS 154 U, start with a clean surface free of dust, oils, or residues. Degrease as needed and allow the surface to dry completely.

Light scuffing can improve adhesion on smooth or glossy surfaces. Before full application, apply a small test area to confirm adhesion and appearance on the actual substrate.

Pantone PMS 154 U defines a color target but does not specify sheen, coating thickness, or substrate conditions. Existing finishes often vary in gloss, texture, age, and application method.

Because of these variables, a Pantone-based match may look different when applied next to an existing coating, making it unreliable for touch-up situations where a seamless blend is required.

When applying Pantone PMS 154 U across larger surfaces, plan for consistent application technique from start to finish. Apply coats evenly and avoid stopping mid-panel, which can create visible variations.

Highly saturated Pantone colors may require additional coats to achieve even coverage. Keeping application timing, overlap, and film thickness consistent helps maintain a uniform final appearance.

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 154 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 154 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.
