Pantone™ PMS 2031 U

PMS 2031 U is a Pantone PMS color standard, not a fixed paint formula. When you reorder, visual consistency depends on keeping the same product type, sheen, and application method as your original order.

To minimize variation, reorder the same paint format and finish, and approve color using the same reference target each time. If your project has tight brand approval requirements, consider ordering a sample or drawdown from the new batch before full production.

PMS 2031 U can be matched into multiple paint types, but the best option depends on your substrate, exposure conditions, and desired finish. Different paint systems can change how saturated and bright the color appears.

If you are unsure which product to order, contact MyPerfectColor with details about where and how the paint will be used. Providing substrate, indoor or outdoor exposure, and sheen goals helps ensure the PMS 2031 U match is produced in the most appropriate paint type.

PMS 2031 U is a relatively saturated Pantone color, which can affect coverage. Bright and saturated Pantone colors often have lower hide compared to neutral or muted tones.

Plan for additional coats to achieve uniform color and appearance, especially over contrasting substrates. Using a compatible primer or ground coat can improve coverage and help the PMS 2031 U color appear more even and consistent.

Expedited production may be available for PMS 2031 U orders and can typically be selected during checkout. Expediting shortens production time but does not eliminate the need for proper color approval.

If your project has a fixed delivery date, contact MyPerfectColor before ordering to confirm current lead times and whether expedited production 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 2031 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 2031 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.
