Pantone™ PMS 572 U

Yes. PMS 572 U is a Pantone color target, but the finish you choose can change how that color is perceived. A gloss finish reflects more light and can make PMS 572 U appear brighter and more saturated, while a matte or low-sheen finish can look softer or slightly duller.

This does not mean the color formula is wrong. It means the surface reflectivity is different. When approving PMS 572 U, always compare samples in the same finish you plan to use in the final application.

Proper surface prep helps PMS 572 U look uniform and adhere correctly. Start by cleaning the surface to remove dust, oils, or residues. Degrease if needed and allow the surface to dry completely.

On smooth or glossy substrates, light scuffing can improve adhesion. Always test a small area first to confirm appearance and compatibility before proceeding with the full application.

When evaluating PMS 572 U, compare samples under consistent lighting and on the same substrate whenever possible. Different lighting conditions can make the color appear warmer, cooler, brighter, or duller.

Allow the paint to fully dry and cure before making a final judgment. Comparing a wet sample to a dry one, or samples on different materials, can lead to incorrect conclusions about color accuracy.

Coverage for PMS 572 U spray paint is typically about 15 to 20 square feet per standard spray can. Actual coverage depends on surface texture, application technique, and the number of coats required.

Brighter or more saturated Pantone colors like PMS 572 U may need additional coats for even coverage. For larger or high-visibility projects, ordering extra cans helps avoid delays and ensures consistent results.

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.

While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 572 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.
