Pantone™ PMS 444 U

PMS 444 U is a Pantone PMS color target, not a fixed paint formula. Each order is custom matched to the Pantone reference, so small batch-to-batch variation is normal.

To keep results as consistent as possible across reorders, use the same product type and sheen each time, apply it to the same type of substrate, and evaluate color under similar lighting. If your project requires strict visual alignment, approving a physical sample and using that as your reference for future runs is the most reliable approach.

Yes, PMS 444 U can be matched for application on metal parts, including previously coated or powder-coated surfaces. Surface preparation matters. Clean the surface thoroughly and scuff as needed so the new coating can adhere properly.

Be aware that the existing coating color, texture, and gloss level can influence how PMS 444 U looks once applied. For brand-critical components, it is best to test on an actual part or a prepared sample panel before committing to full production.

Finish has a meaningful impact on how PMS 444 U is perceived. A glossier finish generally makes the color appear darker and more saturated, while a matte finish can make it look lighter and softer.

Because Pantone references are visual standards, changing sheen can shift how closely the painted result appears to match the swatch, even if the color match is accurate. When brand appearance is important, choose the finish first and evaluate PMS 444 U in that exact sheen.

As a general guideline, one spray can of PMS 444 U covers about 10 to 12 square feet per coat. Actual coverage can vary based on spray technique, surface texture, and how many coats are needed for uniform color.

Darker or more complex Pantone colors may require additional coats for even appearance. For projects where coverage accuracy matters, ordering extra cans or testing coverage on a sample surface helps avoid shortfalls.

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 444 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 444 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.
