Pantone™ PMS 709 U

PMS 709 U is a Pantone reference color, not a paint formula. Pantone books are printed ink standards, while paint is applied to a surface with a specific sheen and texture. Because of this, the painted version of PMS 709 U may not look identical to the book chip.

Differences in gloss level, substrate, film thickness, and lighting can all change how the color appears. For brand-critical applications, you should always evaluate a sprayed or painted sample on the actual material and view it under the intended lighting before approving full production.

When applying a PMS 709 U match to metal or existing powder-coated surfaces, surface preparation is critical. Clean and properly scuff the surface so the new coating can adhere evenly.

Existing coatings, especially darker colors or high-gloss powder coats, can influence the final appearance of PMS 709 U. For brand-facing components, it is strongly recommended to test the color on a prepared sample part to confirm appearance and coverage before committing to a full run.

PMS 709 U is a highly saturated Pantone color, and colors in this range can have lower hide than neutral tones. This means additional coats may be needed to achieve uniform color and visual consistency.

Using a compatible primer or base coat can help improve coverage and reduce the number of finish coats required. Always confirm coverage expectations by testing on the actual substrate used in your project.

Expedited production options are typically available when ordering PMS 709 U paint, and can be selected during checkout if offered for your product format.

If timing is critical, especially for brand launches or installations, it is best to contact MyPerfectColor before ordering to confirm current lead times and ensure the expedited option will meet your deadline.

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 709 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 709 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.
