Pantone™ PMS 2745 U

Yes. PMS 2745 U is the same color target regardless of finish, but changing sheen can make it appear different. Glossier finishes typically look darker and more saturated, while matte or flat finishes can look lighter and less vivid.

This is a perception effect, not a color formula change. When comparing samples, make sure they are the same finish and viewed under similar lighting. A matte sample next to a gloss sample of PMS 2745 U can look like two different colors even when both are matched to the same Pantone reference.

Coverage varies by surface and application method, but a typical spray can covers about 15 to 20 square feet per coat under ideal conditions.

Rough or porous surfaces, darker substrates, and highly saturated colors like PMS 2745 U often require additional coats for uniform appearance. Plan extra material if you need consistent brand-facing results or are working on textured surfaces.

PMS 2745 U is a Pantone Matching System code. The number identifies the color, and the U suffix means the Pantone reference is from the Uncoated guide.

Always order using the full Pantone code, including the suffix. Ordering by name alone or leaving off the U can result in a different color target. Pantone codes are a communication standard, not a paint type or finish specification.

The best paint type for PMS 2745 U depends on your substrate, exposure conditions, and finish expectations. Different paint systems can affect coverage, durability, and how the color is perceived.

If you are unsure, contact MyPerfectColor with details about what you are painting, where it will be used, and your desired finish. This helps ensure you order a product that meets your visual and performance needs for brand and display applications.

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 2745 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 2745 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.
