Pantone™ PMS 602 U

PMS 602 U is a Pantone PMS color target, not a material-specific formula. When it is applied to different substrates like plastic, metal, or wood, the surface texture, absorbency, and reflectivity can change how the color is perceived.

Even with the same Pantone target, PMS 602 U may appear lighter, darker, or less saturated depending on the material and finish. For multi-material projects, it is best to evaluate the color on the actual substrates used in the final build rather than relying on a single sample.

PMS 602 U paint is custom made to order based on the Pantone reference you select. Because it is produced specifically for your order, it is harder to revise after production compared to off-the-shelf paint.

To reduce risk, confirm the exact Pantone code, product type, and sheen before ordering. For projects with strict brand requirements, ordering a small sample of PMS 602 U first can help avoid costly changes later.

You should always order using the full Pantone code PMS 602 U. Pantone color names can sometimes be similar or informal, but the code precisely defines the intended color target.

The suffix is also important. PMS 602 U is different from coated or other Pantone series versions of 602. Using the exact code helps ensure you receive a match to the correct Pantone reference.

For projects that require brand approval or executive signoff, sampling PMS 602 U before a large order is strongly recommended. A small sample lets stakeholders evaluate the color under the actual lighting and on the real substrate.

This step is especially important for high-visibility installations or multi-material builds, where appearance can shift based on finish and environment. Sampling helps confirm acceptance before committing to full production.

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 602 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 602 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.
