Pantone™ PMS 3425 U

Yes. PMS 3425 U is matched to the same Pantone color target regardless of finish, but changing sheen can noticeably affect how the color is perceived.

Glossier finishes tend to look darker and more saturated because they reflect light more directly. Matte or flat finishes scatter light, which can make PMS 3425 U appear lighter or less vivid. When comparing samples, a matte PMS 3425 U and a gloss PMS 3425 U can look like different colors even though they are matched to the same Pantone reference.

If visual approval is critical, especially for brand-facing work, evaluate the color in the same finish and lighting conditions planned for the final application.

The Safety Data Sheet is tied to the specific paint product and chemistry, not to the Pantone color code itself.

When ordering PMS 3425 U, first select the paint type or format you are using, such as spray paint or another coating. The SDS for that product can be found in the SDS library for the selected paint system.

If you need an SDS for compliance or jobsite documentation, make sure you download the SDS that matches the exact product you ordered in PMS 3425 U.

A standard PMS 3425 U match is appropriate when the Pantone reference itself is the color target. This is common for brand-facing applications such as displays, signage, exhibits, prototypes, and marketing installations.

If your goal is visual alignment to Pantone PMS 3425 U rather than matching an existing painted surface, a standard match is typically the correct approach.

For large or high-visibility projects, or when final appearance must be approved under installed lighting, ordering a sample first is recommended to confirm coverage, finish, and perceived color.

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 3425 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 3425 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.
