Pantone™ PMS 309 U

When approving a match to Pantone PMS 309 U, compare samples under consistent lighting and on the same type of substrate you plan to use in production. Allow the coating to fully dry and cure before judging color, since wet paint can appear darker or more saturated. View the sample next to an official Pantone reference and avoid comparing across different finishes, as sheen changes how the color is perceived.

Paint matched to Pantone PMS 309 U is custom made to order. Because it is produced specifically for your selection of product type and sheen, changes or returns are limited once production begins. If approval risk is a concern, consider ordering a smaller sample first and confirm both color and finish before committing to larger quantities.

The full Pantone code, including the U suffix in Pantone PMS 309 U, identifies the specific Pantone reference being matched. Different Pantone series or suffixes can represent different printed standards. Before ordering, confirm that PMS 309 U is the exact reference specified in your brand guidelines or project documentation so the paint match aligns with the intended standard.

Sheen affects how Pantone PMS 309 U appears once applied. Higher gloss finishes typically look brighter and more saturated, while lower sheen finishes can appear slightly darker or muted. Choose a sheen based on viewing distance, lighting, and the substrate being coated, and evaluate samples in the actual environment whenever possible before finalizing your order.

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 309 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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 309 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.
