Pantone™ PMS 7464 U

When approving a PMS 7464 U match, compare samples under consistent lighting and on the same type of substrate whenever possible. Differences in lighting or material can shift how the color appears.

Always allow the painted sample to fully dry and cure before final judgment. Wet paint can look darker or more saturated than the final appearance, which can lead to incorrect approvals.

If brand accuracy is critical, review the sample alongside the Pantone reference in the actual environment where it will be used, such as under installed lighting for displays or exhibits.

PMS 7464 U is a Pantone color target, not a paint specification, so the correct product depends on where and how it will be used. For indoor displays, exhibits, or brand installations, an interior-rated paint is typically appropriate.

If the PMS 7464 U color will be exposed to weather, sunlight, or temperature changes, choose an exterior-rated paint designed for those conditions. Selecting the right paint type helps preserve appearance and durability without changing the intended Pantone color target.

PMS 7464 U is a saturated Pantone color, and colors like this often have lower hide than neutral tones. This means additional coats may be needed to achieve even, uniform coverage.

For best results, start with a compatible primer and plan for multiple thin coats rather than one heavy coat. Testing coverage on a small area first helps set accurate expectations before full application.

Proper surface preparation is essential for accurate appearance and adhesion when applying PMS 7464 U. Surfaces should be clean, dry, and free of dust, grease, or residues.

Light scuffing may be appropriate on smooth or glossy surfaces to help the paint bond. Before committing to the full project, apply a small test area to confirm adhesion, coverage, and final appearance.

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 7464 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 7464 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.
