Pantone™ PMS 1665 U

Ordering Pantone PMS 1665 U paint means you are purchasing a paint that is visually matched to the Pantone PMS 1665 U color standard. Pantone PMS is a color communication system, not a paint formula or finish specification.

The match is made to the Pantone reference under standard viewing conditions. It does not define coating chemistry, durability, gloss level, or application method. The final appearance can vary based on paint type, sheen, substrate, film thickness, and lighting.

Pantone PMS matches are best used when brand color accuracy is the primary goal, such as displays, signage, exhibits, and prototypes.

Pantone PMS 1665 U can be matched in paints that are applied to plastics, but plastics vary widely in how well paint adheres. Many plastics and low-surface-energy materials require a specific adhesion-promoting primer or surface preparation.

Because adhesion and color appearance can change based on the plastic type and primer used, testing on the actual plastic part is strongly recommended before production. This helps confirm both adhesion and that the PMS 1665 U color appearance meets expectations.

The correct paint type for Pantone PMS 1665 U depends on the substrate, environment, application method, and finish requirements. Spray paint, brush-applied coatings, and other formats can all be matched, but they will perform differently.

For help choosing, be ready to share what material you are painting, whether it will be indoors or outdoors, the desired sheen, and how the color will be viewed. MyPerfectColor can use this information to recommend an appropriate paint type and help reduce the risk of ordering the wrong product.

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 1665 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 1665 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.
