Jacquard Airbrush Color Opaque White 1/2 Oz

Essential Opaque White Airbrush Paint – The Ultimate Base for Custom Art

Achieve crisp, professional coverage with the industry’s most versatile fluid acrylic white. Jacquard Opaque White is a premium, ready-to-spray airbrush color engineered for maximum opacity and high-flex durability. Available at SprayGunner, this 1/2 oz bottle is a fundamental tool for sneaker customizers, textile artists, and model builders who need a reliable white that won't crack, peel, or chip on flexible surfaces.

Originally formulated for high-end textiles, this opaque formula is optimized to bond permanently to leather, vinyl, rubber, and synthetic fabrics. It serves as the perfect high-contrast base layer, allowing vibrant top colors to pop even when applied over dark substrates. Once heat-set, it remains soft to the touch on fabric and becomes completely washfast.

Why Choose Jacquard Opaque White?

• Maximum Opacity: Provides solid, clean coverage in fewer passes—essential for covering dark leathers or plastics.
• Superior Base Layer: The go-to choice for undercoating neons, metallics, and transparent colors to ensure color accuracy and brightness.
• Ready-to-Spray: Optimized for smooth flow directly from the bottle, reducing tip-dry and clogging during fine-line detailing.
• Extreme Flexibility: Engineered to move with the material, making it ideal for the toe-box of custom sneakers and high-wear apparel.

Technical Specifications & Application

To ensure a flawless finish with Jacquard Opaque White, follow these SprayGunner guidelines:

Instructions for Professional Results

1. Preparation: Surface must be free of factory waxes, conditioners, and oils. For leather, use a high-quality deglazer. For hard plastics or metal, a light scuff with a fine-grit sanding pad ensures a permanent bond.
2. Mist Passes: Apply in light, even layers. Building white in thin coats prevents "heavy" buildup and ensures the most flexible, crack-resistant finish.
3. Heat Setting:
   • Hard Surfaces: Use a heat gun on low to cure the paint once it is air-dry.
   • Fabrics/Textiles: Use a dry iron on the appropriate fabric setting for 30 seconds to lock in the pigment.
4. Final Seal: For high-wear athletic shoes, finish with a topcoat of Jacquard Airbrush Clear Varnish to maximize scuff and dirt resistance.

Expert Tips for Opaque Airbrushing

• The "Pop" Secret: Always apply a layer of Opaque White before spraying neon or fluorescent colors. This creates a reflective "white-out" that makes the top color appear significantly brighter.
• Custom Tints: Jacquard Airbrush Colors are fully intermixable. Use Opaque White to create custom pastels, lighten earth tones, or create highlights in portrait work.
• Prevent Skinning: Always keep the cap tightly sealed. Because this is a high-pigment opaque, it can "skin over" faster than transparent colors if left exposed to air.
• Low PSI Detail: For ultra-fine highlights, thin slightly with water or a reducer to allow for smooth spraying at lower pressures.
