Pantone™ PMS 570 U

Pantone PMS 570 U is a standardized visual color reference, not a paint formula, coating process, or finish specification. When you order a PMS 570 U match, you are ordering paint mixed to visually align with the Pantone target under typical viewing conditions.

Because Pantone is a communication standard, the final appearance can vary with substrate, sheen, film thickness, and lighting. This is normal and expected. For brand-facing work, confirm the match on your actual material and under installed lighting before final approval.

Compare PMS 570 U samples using consistent lighting, ideally the same lighting where the finished piece will be viewed. Differences in color temperature can change how the color is perceived.

Always compare samples on the same substrate and allow the paint to fully dry and cure before judging. Wet paint and partially cured coatings can look darker or more saturated than the final appearance.

Whether a primer is needed for PMS 570 U depends on the paint type, the substrate, and the exposure conditions. Porous, glossy, or previously coated surfaces often benefit from a compatible primer to improve adhesion and color uniformity.

A primer can also help reduce the number of color coats needed, especially when moving between light and dark bases. If you are unsure, testing PMS 570 U over a primed and unprimed area on your actual substrate is the safest approach.

Coverage for a spray can of PMS 570 U is approximate and depends on application method, surface texture, and the number of coats required. Smooth, sealed surfaces cover more efficiently than rough or absorbent ones.

For brand-critical projects, plan for multiple light coats and order extra cans to account for test panels, overlap, and coverage variation. Highly controlled results usually come from testing coverage on your actual substrate before committing to a final quantity.

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 570 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 570 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.
