Application & Heat Setting Instructions
-
Preparation: Ensure all surfaces are free of waxes and conditioners. For bare metal or smooth plastics, a primer is recommended to ensure a permanent bond.
-
Base Coat Tip: Iridescent colors are enhanced by their base coat. Apply over white for a bright, fiery scarlet or over a dark base for a deep, metallic glow.
-
Spraying Technique: Apply in light, even coats. Avoid over-saturating the surface to allow the iridescent pigments to align properly for maximum shimmer.
-
Permanent Curing: Use a heat gun on hard surfaces once dry. For fabric, heat set with a dry iron at the appropriate setting for 30 seconds.
Expert Airbrushing Tips
-
Particle Flow: Because this paint contains light-reflective particles, a 0.5 mm nozzle is essential to ensure a smooth spray pattern without clogging.
-
Prevent Drying: Never let iridescent paint sit idle in the airbrush. Flush your gear thoroughly between color changes to prevent internal buildup.
-
Varnish Protection: For high-wear items like sneakers or outdoor models, apply a Jacquard Varnish topcoat to protect the iridescent luster from scuffs.
