Pantone™ PMS 349 U

PMS 349 U is a deep, saturated Pantone color. Colors in this range can have lower hide compared to neutral or muted shades.

When applying a PMS 349 U match, expect that additional coats may be needed to achieve even coverage and consistent appearance, especially over light, dark, or mixed-color substrates. Using a uniform primer and testing on a sample surface helps confirm the number of coats required before full production.

Paint matched to PMS 349 U is made to order rather than pulled from stock.

Production time depends on the product format selected, such as spray paint or other paint types, as well as current production volume. Allow additional time for order processing and shipping, and plan ahead if PMS 349 U is needed for a scheduled brand or display installation.

Safety and VOC characteristics for PMS 349 U depend on the specific paint product and binder selected, not the Pantone color itself.

Always review the Safety Data Sheet for the exact product you are ordering and follow recommended ventilation, handling, and personal protection guidance. This is especially important for indoor brand environments, fabrication spaces, or short production timelines.

PMS 349 U can be matched for use on metal or previously coated parts, but surface preparation is critical.

Existing powder coat or metal surfaces should be cleaned and properly scuffed to promote adhesion. Differences in substrate, texture, and gloss can affect how the PMS 349 U color appears, so evaluating a sample on the actual material is recommended before committing to a full run.

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 349 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 349 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.
