Pantone™ PMS 5803 U

Pantone PMS 5803 U is a color reference, not a paint product. Safety, VOC levels, and handling requirements depend on the specific paint type you choose on MyPerfectColor, such as spray paint, epoxy, or housepaint.

Before use, review the Safety Data Sheet for the selected product and follow all application, ventilation, and personal protection guidance. Always use the paint in accordance with the product instructions and applicable workplace or site safety practices.

Paint matched to Pantone PMS 5803 U can be used on plastics, but results depend heavily on the specific plastic and surface preparation. Many plastics have low surface energy and may not allow proper adhesion without additional steps.

Testing on the actual plastic is strongly recommended. A compatible primer or adhesion promoter may be required to achieve acceptable bonding and durability. Always evaluate adhesion and appearance on a sample before committing to production.

Pantone PMS 5803 U in a Pantone book is a printed reference standard. Paint matched to this color is formulated to visually align with that reference, but exact visual matches are not guaranteed.

Differences in sheen, substrate, film thickness, and lighting can change how the color appears. For brand-critical work, always evaluate a sample painted on the actual material and viewed under the intended lighting before final approval.

To order paint matched to Pantone PMS 5803 U, start by selecting the desired paint type, such as spray paint or another available format. Then choose the sheen, quantity, and any applicable options shown on the product page.

Confirm that the selected product is appropriate for your substrate and application. Because Pantone codes define a color target only, verifying the paint type, surface compatibility, and sampling needs before ordering helps avoid costly mistakes.

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 5803 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 5803 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.
