Pantone™ PMS 2287 U

When approving PMS 2287 U, compare samples under consistent lighting and on the same substrate whenever possible. View all samples side by side, not from memory. Allow sprayed or coated samples to fully dry and cure before judging color, since wet coatings can appear darker or more saturated. For critical approvals, evaluate the color under the actual lighting where the finished piece will be installed.

For large surfaces, plan your application so PMS 2287 U is applied in consistent passes with even overlap. Maintain the same spray distance and speed across the entire area. Highly saturated Pantone colors may require multiple coats for uniform hide, so avoid spot-fixing small areas after the main application, which can create visible patchiness. Testing your full process on a sample panel before production helps reduce risk.

PMS 2287 U is a Pantone PMS reference, which means it serves as a brand color target rather than a paint formula. In signage, displays, and exhibits, Pantone codes are often required to align fabricated elements with brand standards. Because materials and finishes can affect appearance, it is best practice to sample PMS 2287 U on the actual substrate used in the build before final approval.

A single spray can of PMS 2287 U typically covers about 12 square feet under ideal conditions. Actual coverage depends on surface texture, application technique, and the number of coats needed for uniform color. Porous or dark substrates and highly saturated colors often require additional paint. For planning purposes, it is safer to round up your quantity to avoid color variation from mixing batches.

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 2287 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 2287 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.
